The notion of luminosity distance is most often defined in purely FLRW (Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker) cosmological spacetimes, or small perturbations thereof. However, the abstract notion of luminosity distance is actually much more…
We derive an expression for the luminosity distance in FLRW spacetimes affected by scalar perturbations. Our expression is complete to linear order and is expressed entirely in terms of standard cosmological parameters and observational…
We propose an efficient analytical method for estimating the luminosity distance in a homogenous Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model of the Universe. This method is based on the homotopy perturbation method (HPM), which has…
We present a new test of the validity of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, based on comparing the distance from redshift 0 to $z_1$ and from $z_1$ to $z_2$ to the distance from $0$ to $z_2$. If the universe is described…
In this paper we calculate the luminosity distance - redshift relation for a special type of flat Friedmann brane with cosmological constant. This special case is singled out by its simplicity, the luminosity distance being given in terms…
We derive an expression for the luminosity distance as a function of redshift for a flat Robertson-Walker spacetime perturbed by arbitrary scalar perturbations possibly produced by a modified gravity theory with two different scalar…
We give distance--redshift relations in terms of elliptic integrals for three different mass distributions of the Friedmann-Lema\^\i tre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmology. These models are dynamically pressure free FLRW on large scales but,…
We study cosmographic expansions of the luminosity distance for a variety of Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi models which we specify inspired by local large-scale structures of the universe. We consider cosmographic expansions valid for general…
Discrepancies between distance measurements and $\Lambda$CDM predictions reveal notable features in the distance-redshift relation, possibly suggesting the presence of an evolving dark energy component. Given the central role of the…
The interpretation of cosmological observations relies on a notion of an average Universe, which is usually considered as the homogeneous and isotropic Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) model. However, inhomogeneities may…
On small scales the observable Universe is highly inhomogeneous, with galaxies and clusters forming a complex web of voids and filaments. The optical properties of such configurations can be quite different from the perfectly smooth…
We present a new approach to cosmological perturbations based on the theory of Lie groups and their representations. After re-deriving the standard covariant formalism from SO(3) considerations, we provide a new expansion of the perturbed…
Most cosmological data analysis today relies on the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric, providing the basis of the current standard cosmological model. Within this framework, interesting tensions between our increasingly…
The differential equation governing distance-redshift for partially filled-beam optics in pressure-freeFriedmann-Lema\^\i tre-Robertson-Walker Cosmology (FLRW) is shown to be the Lame$^{\prime}$ equation. The distance-redshift, $D(z)$,…
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…
In this paper, cosmic distance duality relation is probed without considering any background cosmological model. The only \textit{a priori} assumption is that the Universe is described by the Friedmann-Lema$\hat{i}$tre-Robertson-Walker…
Distance--redshift relations are given in terms of associated Legendre functions for partially filled beam observations inspatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) cosmologies. These models are dynamically pressure-free,…
We consider the optical properties of Lindquist-Wheeler (LW) models of the Universe. These models consist of lattices constructed from regularly arranged discrete masses. They are akin to the Wigner-Seitz construction of solid state…
We investigate the direct determination of expansion history using redshift distortions without plugging into detailed cosmological parameters. The observed spectra in redshift space include a mixture of information: fluctuations of…
In the present paper we consider $f(R)$ gravity theories in the metric approach and we derive the equations of motion, focusing also on the boundary conditions. In such a way we apply the general equations to a first order perturbation…
