Darkness Intensified - Existence of a Nonlinear Threshold in Redshift-Induced Dimming
نویسنده
چکیده
Redshift obeys adiabatic invariance. From this fact it follows that not only the individual photons are dimmed by a factor of z + 1 (if z is the redshift in percent), but the photon flux is reduced by the same factor once more. Hence the luminosity of any source is in the presence of redshift dimmed by a factor of (z+1). This model-independent result possibly "explains away" the excess dimming of strongly redshifted Type-la supernovae, discovered in 1998.

The effect of light-dark cycle alteration on thermal and chemical pain in the male rat
Background: Animals have an internal biological clock with melatonin hormone that helps them to adapt to light/dark circles. Since melatonin is associated with an alteration in the expression and production of opioid receptors, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of changes in the light/dark circles on pain sensation in rats. Methods: This research study in order to investigate the thermal...
متن کاملDiscovery of a New Dimming Effect Specific to Supernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts
Because type Ia supernovae (SNs) are anomalously dimmed with respect to the flat (qo = 0.5) Friedman Expanding Universe model, I was surprised to find that the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are not anomalously dimmed. Based on the absence of anomalous dimming in BCGs, the following conclusions were reached: • Since the light from the SNs and BCGs traverses the same space, the current hypoth...
متن کاملCalculating Income Tax Evasion of Legal Entities and Examining its Sustainability through Threshold Non-linear Method
The purpose of this study is to calculate tax evasion based on the income of legal entities and to examine its stability, which has been done by estimating the Tanzi monetary demand function during 1370-1397. The demand function included the ratio of currency holdings to supply of money as a dependent variable and the tax variables of legal entities, the ratio of wages and salaries to national...
متن کاملHost Galaxy Extinction of SNIa: Co-evolution of ISM Structure and Extinction Law with Star-Formation
This paper presents a mechanism that may modify the extinction law for SNIa observed at higher redshift. Starting from the observations that (1) SNIa occur predominantly in spiral galaxies, (2) star-formation ejects ISM out of the plane of spirals, (3) star-formation alters the extinction properties of the dust in the ISM, and (4) there is substantially more star-formation at higher redshift, I...
متن کاملSpectral and Luminous Efficacy Change of High-power LEDs Under Different Dimming Methods
Dimming is an important and necessary feature for light sources used in general lighting applications. An experimental study was conducted to quantify the spectral and luminous efficacy change of high-power colored and pc-white LEDs under continuous current reduction (CCR) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming schemes. For InGaN-based blue, green, and pc-white LEDs, the peak wavelength shift...
