距离-从包括吸收的光学度量的红移

Distance-redshift from an optical metric that includes absorption

Bin Chen, Ronald Kantowski

摘要:

我们表明,这是可能的,以等同于强度减少的光波所造成的弱吸收与几何减少强度所造成的“横向”共形变换的时空度规中的波旅行。因此,我们能够修改戈登的光学度规,以考虑其性质包括折射和吸收的有质量材料的电磁性质。然而,与单独的折射不同,包括吸收需要修改取决于波本身的程函的光学度量。我们从修正的光学度规中导出了宇宙流体具有相关折射系数和吸收系数的Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker时空的距离-红移关系。然后,我们拟合了当前的超新星数据,并提供了宇宙明显加速的另一种解释(除了暗能量)。

英文摘要:

We show that it is possible to equate the intensity reduction of a light wave caused by weak absorption with a geometrical reduction in intensity caused by a "transverse" conformal transformation of the spacetime metric in which the wave travels. We are consequently able to modify Gordon's optical metric to account for electromagnetic properties of ponderable material whose properties include both refraction and absorption. Unlike refraction alone however, including absorption requires a modification of the optical metric that depends on the eikonal of the wave itself. We derive the distance-redshift relation from the modified optical metric for Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker spacetimes whose cosmic fluid has associated refraction and absorption coefficients. We then fit the current supernovae data and provide an alternate explanation (other than dark energy) of the apparent acceleration of the universe.
