BiGONLight: light propagation with bi-local operators in Numerical Relativity
arXiv:2107.06306 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/ac35aa
Abstract
BiGONLight, Bi-local Geodesic Operators framework for Numerical Light propagation, is a new tool for light propagation in Numerical Relativity. The package implements the Bi-local Geodesic Operators formalism, a new framework for light propagation in General Relativity. With BiGONLight it is possible to extract observables such as angular diameter distance, luminosity distance, magnification as well as new real-time observables like parallax and redshift drift within the same computation. As test-bed for our code we consider two cosmological models, the CDM and the inhomogeneous Szekeres model, and a simulated dust universe. All our tests show an excellent agreement with known results.
