  2. K correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_correction

    I.E. the adjustment to the standard relationship between absolute and apparent magnitude required to correct for the redshift effect. [4] Here, D L is the luminosity distance measured in parsecs . The exact nature of the calculation that needs to be applied in order to perform a K correction depends upon the type of filter used to make the ...

  3. List of cosmological computation software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cosmological...

    This List of Cosmological Computation Software catalogs the tools and programs used by scientists in cosmological research. In the past few decades, the accelerating technological evolution has profoundly enhanced astronomical instrumentation, enabling more precise observations and expanding the breadth and depth of data collection by several ...

  4. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    The cosmological redshift is can be interpreted as an accumulation of infinitesimal Doppler shifts along the trajectory of the light. [30] There are several websites for calculating various times and distances from redshift, as the precise calculations require numerical integrals for most values of the parameters. [31] [32] [33] [34]

  5. Distance measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distance_measure

    Distance measures are used in physical cosmology to give a natural notion of the distance between two objects or events in the universe.They are often used to tie some observable quantity (such as the luminosity of a distant quasar, the redshift of a distant galaxy, or the angular size of the acoustic peaks in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum) to another quantity that is ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    The redshift z is often described as a redshift velocity, which is the recessional velocity that would produce the same redshift if it were caused by a linear Doppler effect (which, however, is not the case, as the velocities involved are too large to use a non-relativistic formula for Doppler shift). This redshift velocity can easily exceed ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. Lambda-CDM model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model

    Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have resulted in various galaxies confirmed by spectroscopy at high redshift, such as JADES-GS-z13-0 at cosmological redshift of 13.2. [ 101 ] [ 102 ] Other candidate galaxies which have not been confirmed by spectroscopy include CEERS-93316 at cosmological redshift of 16.4.
