Influence of Dark Energy on Gravitational Time Delay

We investigate the gravitational time delay of light in the Schwarzschild black hole space-time surrounded by quintessence. With the analysis and numerical methods, we find that the gravitational time delay of light in the Schwarzschild black hole space-time surrounded by quintessence increases when the normalization factor c increases, and that the gravitational time delay also decreases when the quintessential state parameter ω_q increases.
