We show that the angular directions locally measured by a static geodesic observer in a generic cosmological background and expressed in the system of Fermi Normal Coordinates always coincide with those expressed in the Geodesic-Light-Cone (GLC) gauge, up to a local transformation which exploits the residual gauge freedom of the GLC coordinates. This is not the case for other gauges - like, for instance, the synchronous and longitudinal gauge - commonly used in the context of observational cosmology. We also make an explicit proposal for the GLC gauge-fixing condition that ensures a full identification of its angles with the observational ones.

  1. Nonlinear Relativistic Effects on Cosmological Redshift Drift

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    Second-order relativistic effects on redshift drift are computed, showing distortions appear only at this order with enhanced nonlinear bispectrum contributions at low redshift and large momenta.

  2. Tetrad formalism for exact cosmological observables

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper derives exact, coordinate-independent equations for cosmological observables on a new 'observer space-time' manifold, using tetrads to track the observer frame.
