Magnification Probability Distribution Functions of Standard Candles in a Clumpy Universe
Lensing effects on light rays from point light sources in a clumpy universe model are simulated. In our universe model, it is assumed that all of the matter in the universe takes the form of randomly distributed objects each of which has finite size and is transparent for light rays. Further, we assume that each of the lens objects is axially symmetric and the mass ML and the “size” L are relat...
متن کاملStandard rulers, candles, and clocks from the low-redshift universe.
We measure the length of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature, and the expansion rate of the recent Universe, from low-redshift data only, almost model independently. We make only the following minimal assumptions: homogeneity and isotropy, a metric theory of gravity, a smooth expansion history, and the existence of standard candles (supernovæ) and a standard BAO ruler. The rest is det...
متن کاملCepheid Standard Candles
Thanks to HST, there are now many galaxies with Cepheid distances and these provide the main platform for the calibration of the secondary distance indicators. I review recent progress in our understanding of the standard candle properties of Cepheids with particular emphasis on the techniques used in the HST studies. The PL relation defined by Cepheids in the LMC is shown to be excellent, alth...
متن کاملa contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals
writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...
Pulsars as Standard Candles
To illustrate the standard candle property of gamma-ray pulsars (and also to thereby confirm the recent first-principle calculation of pulsar gamma-ray emission), we “measure”, via the lightcurve fitting, three distances and one moment of inertia of some weak pulsars. We are not sure what the three distances are good for, but the measurement of the moment of inertia must be of interest for nucl...
