We discuss the interpretation of the angles in the Geodesic Light-Cone (GLC) coordinates. In particular, we clarify the way in which these angles can be identified with the observed ones. We show that, although this identification is always possible in principle, one cannot implement it in the usual gauge-fixing way, i.e. through a set of conditions on the GLC metric. Rather, one needs to invoke a tetrad at the observer and a Cartesian-like coordinate system in order to obtain the desired map globally on the observed sky.

  1. 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.
