A passing gravitational wave causes a deflection in the apparent astrometric positions of distant stars. The effect of the speed of the gravitational wave on this astrometric shift is discussed. A stochastic background of gravitational…
The three-dimensional distribution of astronomical objects observed in redshift space significantly differs from the true distribution since the distance to each object cannot be determined by its redshift $z$ only; for $z \ll 1$ the…
An improved formula for the timing of binary pulsars that accounts for the relativistic deflection of light in the gravitational field of the pulsar's companion is presented, and the measurability of this effect together with its variance…
The analysis of Redshift-Space Distortions (RSD) within galaxy surveys provides constraints on the amplitude of peculiar velocities induced by structure growth, thereby allowing tests of General Relativity on extremely large scales. The…
The precise radial velocity technique is a cornerstone of exoplanetary astronomy. Astronomers measure Doppler shifts in the star's spectral features, which track the line-of/sight gravitational accelerations of a star caused by the planets…
The era of real-time cosmology has begun. It is now possible to directly measure the apparent drift of high-redshift astronomical sources across the sky $\textit{in real time}$. This so-called $\textit{position drift}$ provides a valuable…
I propose to compare the redshift-space density field directly to the REAL-SPACE velocity field. Such a comparison possesses all of the advantages of the conventional redshift-space analyses, while at the same time it is free of their…
Starting from the observed distribution of galaxy clusters in redshift space we use a two--step procedure to recover their distances and peculiar velocities. After statistically correcting for the unobserved cluster distribution in the zone…
The determination of the density parameter $\Omega_0$ from the large-scale distribution of galaxies is one of the major goals of modern cosmology. However, if galaxies are biased tracers of the underlying mass distribution, linear…
Accurate modelling of redshift-space distortions (RSD) is challenging in the non-linear regime for two-point statistics e.g. the two-point correlation function (2PCF). We take a different perspective to split the galaxy density field…
We study the asymmetry in the two-point cross-correlation function of two populations of galaxies focusing in particular on the relativistic effects that include the gravitational redshift. We derive the cross-correlation function on small…
I examine the interpretation of photon redshifts in curved spacetime, as being gravitational or Doppler in origin. In Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker spacetime, redshifts between comoving observers are often attributed to "expanding…
Recent puzzling observations such as the $H_o$ tension, large-scale anisotropies, and massive disk galaxies at high redshifts have been challenging the standard cosmological model. While one possible explanation is that the standard model…
For late-type non-active stars, gravitational redshifts and convective blueshifts are the main source of biases in the determination of radial velocities. If ignored, these effects can introduce systematic errors of the order of ~ 0.5 km/s.…
We investigate the feasibility of determining the pairwise velocity dispersion (PVD) for Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs), and of using this quantity as a discriminator among theoretical models. We find that when the Two Point Correlation…

It is investigated the effects of rotation on the scalar field in the spacetime with the distortion of a vertical line into a vertical spiral. By analysing the upper limit of the radial coordinate that stems from the effects of rotation and…
We developed a modification to the calculation of the two-point correlation function commonly used in the analysis of large scale structure in cosmology. An estimator of the two-point correlation function is constructed by contrasting the…
Although redshift-space distortions only affect inferred distances and not angles, they still distort the projected angular clustering of galaxy samples selected using redshift dependent quantities. From an Eulerian view-point, this effect…
The next generation of telescopes will usher in an era of precision cosmology, capable of determining the cosmological model to beyond the percent level. For this to be effective, the theoretical model must be understood to at least the…
