We present 118 new optical redshifts for galaxies in 12 clusters in the Horologium-Reticulum supercluster (HRS) of galaxies. For 76 galaxies, the data were obtained with the Dual Beam Spectrograph on the 2.3m telescope of the Australian…
Hard x-ray spectral breaks are explained in terms of a 1D model with a co-spatial return current. We study 19 flares observed by RHESSI (Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager) with strong spectral breaks at energies around a few…
At the core of the standard cosmological model lies the assumption that the redshift of distant galaxies is independent of photon wavelength. This invariance of cosmological redshift with wavelength is routinely found in all galaxy spectra…
We construct a spectral classification scheme for the galaxies of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) based on a principal component analysis of the measured galaxy spectra. We interpret the physical significance of our six spectral…
We show that there are no new consistent cosmological perfect fluid solutions when in an open neighbourhood ${\cal U}$ of an event the fluid kinematical variables and the electric and magnetic Weyl curvature are all assumed rotationally…
An expression for the average redshift drift in a statistically homogeneous and isotropic dust universe is given. The expression takes the same form as the expression for the redshift drift in FLRW models. It is used for a…
An Ising-type Vicsek model is proposed for collective motion and sudden direction change in a population of self-propelled particles. Particles move on a linear lattice with velocity +1 or -1 in the one-dimensional model. The probability of…
We study the solvability of a system of ordinary differential equations derived from null geodesics of the LTB metric with data given in terms of a so-called redshift parameter. Data is introduced along these geodesics by the luminosity…
We present a study of seventeen LAEs at redshift 2$<z<$3 gravitationally lensed by massive early-type galaxies (ETGs) at a mean redshift of approximately 0.5. Using a fully Bayesian grid-based technique, we model the gravitational lens mass…
In the six billion years between redshifts z=1 and z=0.1, galaxies change due to the aging of their stellar populations, the formation of new stars, and mergers with other galaxies. Here I explore the relative importance of these various…
We use broadband photometry extending from the rest-frame UV to the near-IR to fit the individual spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 63 bright (L(Ly-alpha) > 10^43 ergs/s) Ly-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) in the redshift range 1.9 < z…
Galaxy morphology is one of the most fundamental ways to describe galaxy properties, but the morphology we observe may be affected by wavelength and spatial resolution, which may introduce systematic bias when comparing galaxies at…
This paper analyses cosmological observations within inhomogeneous and exact solutions of the Einstein equations. In some way the analyses presented here can be freed from assumptions such as small amplitude of the density contrast. The…
The refraction of a light ray by a homogeneous, isotropic and non-dispersive transparent material half-space in uniform rectilinear motion is investigated theoretically. The approach is an amalgamation of the original Fermat's principle and…
The extragalactic high-energy $\gamma$-ray sky is dominated by blazars, which are active galactic nuclei with their jets pointing towards us. Distance measurements are of fundamental importance yet for some of these sources are challenging…
We first report a novel phenomenon that manifests itself in a colossal difference in soft x-ray reflectivity from ferromagnetic transition-metal films between the left- and right-handed circular polarization (LCP and RCP) modes at a…
This paper and the others in the series challenge the standard model of the effects of gravitational lensing on observations at large distances. We show that due to the cumulative effect of lensing, areas corresponding to an observed solid…
We have conducted a galaxy survey based on low-resolution slitless spectra taken from the automated CFHT-Laval survey. We present redshift distributions for 522 galaxies distributed in 4 distinct regions of the sky. Redshifts are determined…
Relativistic aberration influences apparent luminosities of objects moving with relativistic relative velocities. The superluminosity or dimming of incoming or receding jets ejected from Active Galactic Nuclei is believed to be the…
Motivated by the current controversy over the redshift distribution and physical properties of luminous (sub-)mm sources, we have undertaken a new study of the brightest sample of unlensed (sub-)mm sources with pre-ALMA interferometric…
