Ia型超新星的消光改正

Ia型超新星因其在宇宙学上起着标准烛光的作用而备受关注,正确的消光改正才能还原其本征亮度和颜色,然后才能在宇宙学中恰当地应用。综述了不同环境中的尘埃对Ia型超新星消光的影响,并讨论Ia型超新星绝对星等的校正和Rv值偏小的原因。Ia型超新星绝对星等的弥散主要受两个方面的影响,一是由前身星状态所导致的固有弥散,二是寄主星系内尘埃的消光。利用与距离无关的参数对绝对星等校正后,可以将弥散降低到0.1 mag以下。Ia型超新星的内禀色指数呈现出随时间演化的一致性,使得其红化比较容易计算。大量的观测和分析表明,Ia型超新星在寄主星系中的Rv值在低红化时,其情形比较接近银河系;而在红化严重时偏小,多在2.0以下,低于银河系的平均值3.1。一种可能的解释是Ia型超新星的星周尘埃对星光的多重散射,另一种可能是Ia型超新星寄主星系的尘埃与典型的银河系内星际尘埃的差异。

The Looped Light of the Triple-Slit Real Experiment as a Confirmation for the Extra Dimensions of Quantum Spacetime and the Reality of Dark Energy

Looped light in a recent sophisticated real three-slit experiment is interpreted as a strong justification of the old theoretical Peano-Hilbert spacetime model of Ord and El Naschie. This in turn entails the existence of extra fractal dimensions and consequently of real dark energy density in full agreement with previous analysis as well as accurate measurements and observations of COBE, WMAP, and the type 1a supernova.
