By considering a simple model of slowly rotating neutron stars (for which the Schwartzschild metric could be used properly) whose emission is confined to circular antipolar caps, Pechenick, Ftaclas and Cohen (1983) studied the gravitational effects on the light curves. They found that for typical neutron star parameters, the light curves flattened out due to the bending of light in the neutron stellar gravity.
