Cosmology With A Dark Refraction Index
B. Chen, R. Kantowski
We review Gordon's optical metric and the transport equations for the amplitude and polarization of a geometrical optics wave traveling in a gravity field. We apply the theory to t…
Chang-Refsdal Microlensed Type Ia Supernova Light Curves
H. Bagherpour, B. Chen, R. Kantowski +2
A description of the light curves of microlensed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) as extended and expanding sources is presented. We give examples of what microlensing by stellar-mass C…
Steps for Solving the Transfer Equation for Arbitrary Flows in Stationary Spacetimes
B. Chen, R. Kantowski, E. Baron +2
We derive the radiative transfer equation for arbitrary stationary relativistic flows in stationary spacetimes, i.e. for steady-state transfer problems. We show how the standard ch…
Effects of Gravitational Microlensing on P-Cygni Profiles of Type Ia Supernovae
Hamed Bagherpour, David Branch, R. Kantowski
A brief description of the deformed spectra of microlensed SNe Ia is presented. We show that microlensing amplification can have significant effects on line profiles. The resonance…
Light Curves of Microlensed Type Ia Supernovae
Hamed Bagherpour, R. Kantowski, David Branch +1
A detailed description of the apparent light curves of microlensed SNe Ia as extended and expanding sources is presented. We show that microlensing amplification can have significa…
The Lame Equation for Distance-Redshift in Partially Filled Beam Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker Cosmology
R. Kantowski
The differential equation governing distance-redshift for partially filled-beam optics in pressure-freeFriedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker Cosmology (FLRW) is shown to be the Lam…
