  2. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    The cosmological redshift is more naturally interpreted as a Doppler shift arising due to the recession of distant objects. [28] The observational consequences of this effect can be derived using the equations from general relativity that describe a homogeneous and isotropic universe.

  3. Redshift quantization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift_quantization

    In standard inflationary cosmological models, the redshift of cosmological bodies is ascribed to the expansion of the universe, with greater redshift indicating greater cosmic distance from the Earth (see Hubble's law). This is referred to as cosmological redshift and is one of the main pieces of evidence for the Big Bang. Quantized redshifts ...

  4. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    This is obtained analysing low-redshift cosmological data within ΛCDM model. The datasets used are type-Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations , time-delay measurements using strong-lensing, H ( z ) measurements using cosmic chronometers and growth measurements from large scale structure observations.

  5. Tired light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tired_light

    Tired light was an idea that came about due to the observation made by Edwin Hubble that distant galaxies have redshifts proportional to their distance.Redshift is a shift in the spectrum of the emitted electromagnetic radiation from an object toward lower energies and frequencies, associated with the phenomenon of the Doppler effect.

    Using redshift measurements, NGC 7619 was the highest at the time of measurement. At the time of announcement, it was not yet accepted as a general guide to distance, however, later in the year, Edwin Hubble described redshift in relation to distance, which became accepted widely as an inferred distance. [204] [206] [207] NGC 584 (Dreyer nebula ...

  7. Recessional velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recessional_velocity

    One application of Hubble's law is to estimate distances to galaxies based on measurements of their recessional velocities. However, for relatively nearby galaxies the peculiar velocity can be comparable to or larger than the recessional velocity, in which case Hubble's law does not give a good estimate of an object's distance based on its ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasars,_Redshifts_and...

    The idea was that the cosmological redshift might be showing evidence of periodicity which would be difficult to explain in a Hubble's law universe that had the feature of continuous expansion. However, most astronomers agree that the analysis suffers from poor methodology and small number statistics .

  9. Redshift-space distortions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift-space_distortions

    The effect is due to the peculiar velocities of the galaxies causing a Doppler shift in addition to the redshift caused by the cosmological expansion. Redshift-space distortions (RSDs) manifest in two particular ways.
