We describe a new method for measuring the true redshift distribution of any set of objects studied only photometrically. The angular cross-correlation between objects in a photometric sample with objects in some spectroscopic sample as a…
In this paper, light propagation in a pressure-free non-magnetized plasma on Kerr spacetime is considered, which is a continuation of our previous study [Phys. Rev. D 95, 104003 (2017)]. It is assumed throughout that the plasma density is…
The propagation of light in area metric spacetimes, which naturally emerge as refined backgrounds in quantum electrodynamics and quantum gravity, is studied from first principles. In the geometric-optical limit, light rays are found to…
The purpose of the present work is based on two main observations: the tensions encountered by the standard $\Lambda$CDM model when confronted to precision small scale cosmological data and the finding that the matter distribution and the…
Transverse redshift effects are sometimes presented as being unique to special relativity (the "transverse Doppler effect"). We argue that if the detector is aimed at 90 degrees in the laboratory frame, most theories will predict a…
We derive the redshift and the angular diameter distance in rotationless dust universes which are statistically homogeneous and isotropic, but have otherwise arbitrary geometry. The calculation from first principles shows that the…
We present the results obtained on the color distribution of galaxies in the CFHTLS-Deep Field Survey Data Release 03. Photometric redshifts have been computed using a standard SED fitting approach, with a new version of the public code…
We study the evolution of the relation between half-light (effective) radius, r_e, and mean surface brightness, mi_e, known as Kormendy relation, out to redshift z=0.64 in V-band restframe on the basis of a large sample of spheroidal…
We review the previous studies of galaxies and quasar redshifts discretisation. We present also the investigations of the large scale periodicity, detected by pencil--beam observations, which revealed 128 (1/h) Mpc period, afterwards…
We show that the full dynamical freedom of the well known Szekeres models allows for the description of elaborated 3--dimensional networks of cold dark matter structures (over--densities and/or density voids) undergoing "pancake" collapse.…
Inspection of the periodograms of TESS delta Scuti stars indicates that there is little, if any, similarity between the frequencies of stars in the same region of the H-R diagram. This is difficult to understand because pulsation models…
Due to the expansion of our Universe, the redshift of distant objects changes with time. Although the amplitude of this redshift drift is small, it will be measurable with a decade-long campaigns on the next generation of telescopes. Here…
Luminosity of GRB 170817A is much lower than that of other sGRBs. The measurement of the superluminal movement of the radio afterglow emission confirms the presence of the relativistic jet, and the emission features can be well explained by…
In previous papers it was shown that in a quasi-spherical Szekeres (QSS) metric, impulses of gamma radiation can arise that have several properties in common with the observed gamma-ray bursts. This happens when the bang-time function…
This paper presents the application of the Szekeres Swiss Cheese model to the analysis of observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. The impact of inhomogeneous matter distribution on the CMB observations is in most…
We provide a formula for estimating the redshift and its secular change (redshift drift) in Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) spherically symmetric universes. We compute the scaling of the redshift drift for LTB models that predict Hubble…
We solve for all Szekeres metrics that have a single Killing vector. For quasi hyperboloidal ($\epsilon = -1$) metrics, we find that translational symmetries are possible, but only in metrics that have shell crossings somewhere, while…
We consider a novel mechanism to account for the observed distance-redshift relation. This is done by presenting a toy model for the large-scale matter distribution in a static Universe. Our model mainly concerns particles with masses far…
The apparent properties of distant objects encode information about the way the light they emit propagates to an observer, and therefore about the curvature of the underlying spacetime. Measuring the relationship between the redshift $z$…
A universal method to solve the differential equations of light-like geodesics is developed. The validity of this method depends on a new theorem, which is introduced for light-like geodesics in analogy to Beltrami's "geometrical" method…
