We consider inhomogeneous spherically symmetric models based on the Lema\^{i}tre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) metric, assuming as its source an interactive mixture of ordinary baryonic matter, cold dark matter and dark energy with a coupling term…

It is shown how certain observations interpreted in the background of the Friedmann model with $\Lambda < 0 = k$ (the $\Lambda$CDM model) can be re-interpreted using the $\Lambda = 0$ Lema\^{\i}tre - Tolman (L-T) model so as to do away with…

During the past fifteen years, inhomogeneous cosmological models have been put forward to explain the observed dimming of the SNIa luminosity without resorting to dark energy. The simplest models are the spherically symmetric…

In this paper we show that the mass-energy density of the Universe can be fully determined in terms of the cosmological redshifts, their time drifts and angular-diameter distance (observer area distance). Besides providing an indirect…

The analysis of modern cosmological data is becoming an increasingly important task as the amount of data multiplies. An important goal is to extract geometric information, i.e. the metric of the cosmos, from observational data. The…

This paper presents the algorithm for determining the Lemaitre-Tolman (LT) model that best fits given datasets for maximum stellar ages, and SNIa luminosities, both as functions of redshift. It then applies it to current cosmological data.…

We present semi-analytical solutions to the background equations describing the Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) metric as well as the homogeneous Friedmann equations, in the presence of dust, curvature and a cosmological constant Lambda. For…

Conditions for smooth cosmological models are set out and applied to inhomogeneous spherically symmetric models constructed by matching together different Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi solutions to the Einstein field equations. As an illustration…

Extending the approach developed by Ara\'ujo and Stoeger [1] and improved in Ara\'ujo {\it et al} [2], we have shown how to construct dust-filled $\Lambda \neq 0$ Friedmann-Lema\^{\i}tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmological models from FLRW…

This is a continuation of the paper published in {\it Phys. Rev.} {\bf D89}, 023520 (2014). It is investigated here how the luminosity distance -- redshift relation $D_L(z)$ of the $\Lambda$CDM model is duplicated in the Lema\^{\i}tre --…

I discuss the spherically symmetric but inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman- Bondi (LTB) metric, which provides an exact toy model for an inhomogeneous universe. Since we observe light rays from the past light cone, not the expansion of the…

The goal of this work is to compute the number density of far-IR selected galaxies in the comoving frame and along the past lightcone of observationally constrained LTB models and to compare those results with their standard model…

Spherically symmetric dust universe models with a positive cosmological constant $\Lambda$, known as $\Lambda$-Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi($\Lambda$LTB) models, are considered. We report a method to construct the $\Lambda$LTB model from a given…

Do current observational data confirm the assumptions of the cosmological principle, or is there statistical evidence for deviations from spatial homogeneity on large scales? To address these questions, we developed a flexible framework…

One of the continuing challenges in cosmology has been to determine the large-scale space-time metric from observations with a minimum of assumptions -- without, for instance, assuming that the universe is almost…

We study the form of the luminosity distance as a function of redshift in the presence of large scale inhomogeneities, with sizes of order 10 Mpc or larger. We approximate the Universe through the Swiss-cheese model, with each spherical…

The possibility of reconstructing a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model with $\Lambda$CDM observations has drawn a lot of attention. Recently, a LTB model having the same luminosity-distance and light-cone…

We study the evolution of linear perturbations in a Lema\^itre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) void model with realistic cosmological initial conditions. Linear perturbation theory in LTB models is substantially more complicated than in standard…

We study the evolution of inhomogeneous spherical perturbations in the universe in a way that generalizes the spherical top hat collapse in a straightforward manner. For that purpose we derive a dynamical equation for the evolution of the…

We present a new model universe based on the junction of FRW to flat Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) solutions of Einstein equations along our past light cone, bringing structures within the FRW models. The model is assumed globally to be…
