Shapiro delay

Issue #56 new
Former user created an issue

The original paper (2006MNRAS.369..655H) states it includes all bodies with an impact of 0.1 ns or more on the Shapiro delay and so declares the routine shapiro_delay.C

However, second-order corrections to the Shapiro delay of the Sun are not included despite their ~1ns magnitude. A 0"4 light bending for a closest approch translates to ~300 km displacement at the closest approch, lengthening the path by roughly 0.3 m (using triangle of 1 AU and 300 km sides) or 1 ns.
