Spectral line and continuum radiation propagation in a clumpy medium
Abstract. We discuss the propagation of spectral line and continuum radiation in a clumpy medium and give general expressions for the observed absorption or emission from a cloud population. We show that the affect of the medium clumpiness can usually be characterised by a single number multiplying the mean column opacity. Our result provides a simpler proof and generalization of the result of ...
متن کاملObservation of Gravitational Lensing in the Clumpy Universe
We discuss how inhomogeneities of the universe affect observations of the gravitational lensing; (1) the bending angle, (2) the lensing statistics and (3) the time delay. In order to take account of the inhomogeneities, the Dyer-Roeder distance is used, which includes a parameter representing the clumpiness of the matter along the line of sight. It is shown analytically that all three combinati...
متن کاملLight propagation and the distance-redshift relation in a realistic inhomogeneous universe.
We investigate the distance-redshift relation in a realistic inhomogeneous universe where the mass distribution is described by the mass function of Sheth and Tormen. It is found that the derived distance deviates systematically from the standard distance up to 10% depending on the choice of the lowest halo mass in which baryonic matter condensed to form luminous object such as galaxies. Remark...
متن کاملMagnification 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 کاملLight Propagation through Large-scale Inhomogeneities in the Universe and Its Impact on Cosmological Observations
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 supernova observations are analysed using the Lemâıtre–Tolman model and the CMB observations are analysed using the quasispherical Szekeres model. The results s...
