    Abstract: An unmagnetized dusty plasma consisting of static negatively charged dust fluid, nonthermal distributed electrons, and adiabatic ion fluid has been considered. Basic properties of the dust-ion-acoustic shock waves have been made by the reductive perturbation method to derive the Burgers’ equation for nonplanar geometry. The solution of modified Bur...

    Abstract: In the frame of the previously proposed model of the Universe dynamics (Timashev Serge. Planckian Energy-Mass Source and the Dynamics of the Universe: Phenomenology // International Journal of Astrophysics and Space Science, 2014, Vol. 2, No. 3, pp. 33-45), the substance of dark energy is associated with the electromagnetic component of the physica...

    Abstract: The Etherington's distance-duality equation is the relationship between the luminosity distance of standard candles and the angular-diameter distance. This relationship has been validated from astronomical observations based on the X-ray surface brightness and the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect of galaxy clusters. In the present study, we propose a deri... Show More
