Distance-Redshift Relation in a Realistic Inhomogeneous Universe
نویسنده
چکیده
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. Remarkably the derived distance is well approximated by the Dyer-Roeder distance if we choose the clumpiness parameter α calculated by our model. We also discuss the effect of inhomogeneities in the determination of dark energy parameter in the supernovae observation, and find that this effect must be taken into account for the future high redshift supernovae observation.

متن کاملThe Effect of Inhomogeneities on the Luminosity Distance–Redshift Relation: is Dark Energy Necessary in a Perturbed Universe?
The luminosity distance–redshift relation is one of the fundamental tools of modern cosmology. We compute the luminosity distance–redshift relation in a perturbed flat matter-dominated Universe, taking into account the presence of cosmological inhomogeneities up to second order in perturbation theory. Cosmological observations implementing the luminosity distance–redshift relation tell us that ...
متن کاملSupernova Ia observations in the Lemâitre–Tolman model
Observations of distant supernovae show that the light of supernovae Ia is dimmer than it would be in a decelerating universe. Several effects might be responsible for this phenomenon: cosmological constant, evolution of supernovae, selection bias, gravitational lensing, intergalactic dust, and influence of inhomogeneous distribution of matter on light propagation. All of these effects but the ...
متن کاملAveraging Inhomogeneous Universes: Volume, Angle, Line of Sight [astroph/9801122
Cosmologies that match in a volume averaged sense need not generally have the same light propagation behaviors. In particular a universe with inhomogeneity may not demonstrate the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker distance-redshift relation even after volume averaging to FRW spacetime. Even the Dyer-Roeder prescription for incorporating inhomogeneity within a universe equivalent to FRW in an angle ave...
متن کاملSupernova Ia observations in the Lemâıtre–Tolman model
The aim of this paper is to check if the models with realistic inhomogeneous matter distribution and without cosmological constant can explain the dimming of the supernovae in such a way that it can be interpreted as an acceleration of the Universe. Employing the simplest inhomogeneous model, i.e. Lemâıtre–Tolman model, this paper examines the impact of inhomogeneous matter distribution on ligh...
