Gravitational redshift effects undoubtedly exist; moreover, the experimental setups which confirm the existence of these effects-the most famous of which being the Pound-Rebka experiment-are well-known. Nonetheless-and perhaps…

The light that we receive from clusters of galaxies is redshifted by the presence of the clusters' gravitational potential. This effect, known as gravitational redshift, was first detected from a sample of stacked clusters in 2011, by…

A corollary of general relativity that the average velocity of light between two points in a gravitational field is anisotropic has been overlooked. It is shown that this anisotropy can be probed by an experiment which constitutes another…

The extremely high precision of current astronomical observations demands a much better theoretical treatment of relativistic effects in the propagation of electromagnetic signals through variable gravitational fields of isolated…

Testing of the gravitation equations, proposed by one of the authors earlier, by a binary pulsar is considered. It has been shown that the formulas for the gravitation radiation of the system resulting from the equations do not contradict…

Despite the success of general relativity (GR), the unexplained nature of dark energy on cosmological scales leaves open the question of whether GR provides a complete description of gravity. This quest is further motivated by growing…

We construct a general relativity formula for the law of gravity for material bodies. The formula contains three numeric parameters that are to be determined experimentally. If they are chosen from symmetry considerations, then the theory…

The frequency shift of spectral lines from astronomical objects is most often explained by the Doppler Effect arising in relative motion and the broadening of a particular line is supposed to depend on the absolute temperature, pressure or…

The content of Einstein's theory of gravitation is encoded in the properties of the solutions to his field equations. There has been obtained a wealth of information about these solutions in the ninety years the theory has been around. It…

The total flux of outgoing radiation in a strong gravitational field decreases due to backscattering if the sources are close to an apparent horizon. It can cause detectable changes in the shape of signals. Backscattering could well be of…

Gravity is one of the fundamental forces of Nature, and it is the dominant force in most astronomical systems. In common with all other phenomena, gravity must obey the principles of special relativity. In particular, gravitational forces…

A common belief about big-bang cosmology is that the cosmological redshift cannot be properly viewed as a Doppler shift (that is, as evidence for a recession velocity), but must be viewed in terms of the stretching of space. We argue that,…

The quantification of the redshifts of the lines observed in the spectra of the quasars and the galaxies (the redshifts of their lines have some of the values given by the formula z=a+0.062m where a depends on the object, and m is an…

Recently, several interesting proposals were made modifying the law of gravity on large scales, within a sensible relativistic formulation. This allows a precise formulation of the idea that such a modification might account for galaxy…

A recent measurement of the gravitational redshift was based on interference of matter waves. Operation in microgravity can improve it by a factor of $10^5$ and, in some models, even $10^{10}$.

Gravitational redshift as a relativistic effect in cosmological objects is investigated. Possible signatures of the gravitational redshift in measurements of satellite galaxies in clusters of galaxies, intracluster gas, as well as galaxies…

A novel approach to the calculation of the deflection of highly relativistic test particles in gravitational fields is described. We make use of the light-like boosts of the gravitational fields of the sources. Examples are given of the…

A system of Lorentz oscillators is considered to interpret of spectral lines of hydrogen atoms. The dielectric permittivity of this system, which takes into account its electric polarization, is considered. The substance is examined in the…

For suitable gravitational lens systems with unknown lens redshifts, the redshifts and brightnesses (in different colours) of the lenses are predicted for a variety of cosmological models, for both elliptical and spiral galaxy lenses.…

Recent theoretical work determines the correct coupling constant of a scalar field to the Ricci curvature of spacetime in general relativity. The periodicity in the redshift distribution of galaxies observed by Broadhurst {\em et al.}, if…
