Quasi-geodesics in relativistic gravity
Valerio Faraoni, Geneviève Vachon
A four-force parallel to the trajectory of a massive particle can always be eliminated by going to an affine parametrization, but the affine parameter is different from the proper…
Brans-Dicke analogue of the Roberts geometry
Bardia H. Fahim, Valerio Faraoni, Andrea Giusti
We report a new one-parameter family of spherically symmetric, inhomogeneous, and time-dependent solutions of the vacuum Brans-Dicke field equations which are conformal to the Robe…
Lagrangian formulation, a general relativity analogue, and a symmetry of the Vialov equation of glaciology
Valerio Faraoni
Using a suitable rescaling of the independent variable, a Lagrangian is found for the nonlinear Vialov equation ruling the longitudinal profiles of glaciers and ice caps in the sha…
A Giant Planet Candidate Transiting a White Dwarf
Andrew Vanderburg, Saul A. Rappaport, Siyi Xu +61
Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets outside the solar system, most of which orbit stars that will eventually evolve into red giants and then into white dwarfs. During…
A spectroscopic test of the rotational modulation origin of periodic \emph{Kepler} photometric variability of A-type stars
James Sikora, Gregg Wade, Jason Rowe
High-precision space-based photometry obtained by the \emph{Kepler} and \emph{TESS} missions has revealed evidence of rotational modulation associated with main sequence (MS) A and…
Cosmological analogies, Lagrangians, and symmetries for convective-radiative heat transfer
Valerio Faraoni, Farah Atieh, Steve Dussault
A formal analogy between the Friedmann equation of relativistic cosmology and models of convective-radiative cooling/heating of a body (including Newton's, Dulong-Petit's, Newton-S…
