Can Quasars Be Explained by Cosmological Waveguide Effects?

چکیده
A sort of gravitational waveguide effect in cosmology could explain, in principle, the huge luminosities coming from quasars using the cosmological large scale structures as selfoc–type or planar waveguides. Furthermore, other anomalous phenomena connected with quasars, as the existence of “brothers” or “twins” objects having different brilliancy but similar spectra and redshifts, placed on the sky with large angular distance, could be explained by this effect. We describe the gravitational waveguide theory and then we discuss possible realizations in cosmology.

A New Approach to Quasars and Twins by Cosmological Waveguides
Gravitational lensing is today a fundamental tool to investigate the large scale structures of the universe and to test cosmological models. One of the most interesting characteristics of it is that it acts on all scales and provides a great amount of cosmological and astrophysical applications. Particularly promising are the multiply macro–imaged quasars whose lensing galaxy should have a larg...

A sort of gravitational waveguide effect in cosmol-ogy could explain some anomalous phenomena which cannot be understood by the current gravitational lensing models as the existence of " twins " objects with similar spectra and redshifts posed on the sky with large angular distance. Furthermore, the huge luminosities of quasars could be explained using filamen-tary or planar cosmological struct...

The anomalous acceleration of spacecrafts in the solar system is explained. An explanation of the observed superluminal velocities of jets at extragalactic objects is given. The extension of quasars can be larger as generally assumed, i. e. quasars must not be very compact objects. An explanation of the high energy loss per unit time of quasars is given. The relation between the velocity of an ...
متن کاملCosmological evolution and large scale structures of radio galaxies and quasars ⋆
The simple unification scheme of powerful radio galaxies and quasars, based entirely on the orientation dependent effects, has been confronted with the observed radio structures for 152 radio galaxies and 173 steep spectrum quasars. Contrary to the scheme's prediction, the cosmological evolution of geometrical parameters describing the large scale structure of these two types of radio sources a...
متن کاملThrough a Lens Darkly: Evidence for Dusty Gravitational Lenses
Foreground galaxies that amplify the light from background quasars may also dim that light if the galaxies contain enough dust. Extinction by dust in lenses could hide the large number of lensed systems predicted for a flat universe with a large value of the cosmological constant Λ. We look for one signature of dust, namely reddening, by examining optical-infrared colors of gravitationally lens...
