In a gravitational lensing system, the relative transverse velocities of the lens, source, and observer induce a frequency shift in the observed radiation. While this shift is typically negligible in most astrophysical contexts, strategies…

We assume that the relativistic sources moving along the dipolar magnetic field lines emit curvature radiation. The beamed emission occurs in the direction of tangents to the field lines, and to receive it, the sight line must align with…

We present a physical interpretation for the generation of circular polarization resulting from the propagation of radiation through a magnetized plasma in terms of a rotation measure gradient, or `Faraday wedges'. Criteria for the…
Non-time-orthogonal frame analysis is applied to determine the frequency and wavelength of light as observed i) in a relativistically rotating frame when emission is from a source fixed in the non-rotating frame, ii) in a non-rotating frame…
