Cosmological Malmquist bias in the Hubble diagram at high redshifts
The Malmquist bias in luminosity distances for gaussian standard candles is discussed within cosmological models where the Euclidean r3-law for volumes and r−2-law for fluxes is not valid. Furthermore, the influence of K-corrections and luminosity evolution are analyzed. It is noted that the usual way of comparing theoretical predictions and data points in the Hubble diagram (log z vs. m) shoul...
متن کاملA Physical Bias in Cosmological Simulations
Numerical simulations play an important role in the study of the structure formation of the universe. However, the mass resolution in current simulations is still poor. Due to technical difficulties, it is necessary to use both a greatly reduced number density of particles and a greatly raised unit particle mass. Consequently, the particle masses used in cosmological simulations are about 10 ti...
متن کاملMalmquist Bias and the Distance to the Virgo Cluster Anthony
This paper investigates the impact of Malmquist bias on the distance to the Virgo cluster determined by the H0 Key Project using M100, and consequently on the derived value of H0. Malmquist bias is a volume-induced statistical effect which causes the most probable distance to be different from the raw distance measured. Consideration of the bias in the distance to the Virgo cluster raises this ...
متن کاملLocal Starbursts in a Cosmological Context
In this contribution I introduce some of the major issues that motivate the conference, with an emphasis on how starbursts fit into the “big picture”. I begin by defining starbursts in several different ways, and discuss the merits and limitations of these definitions. I will argue that the most physically useful definition of a starburst is its “intensity” (star formation rate per unit area). ...
متن کاملThe twin paradox in a cosmological context
Recently Abramowicz and Bajtlik (arXiv:0905.2428 (2009)) have studied the twin paradox in Schwarzschild spacetime. Considering circular motion they showed that the twin with a non-vanishing 4-acceleration is older than his brother at the reunion and argued that, in spaces that are asymptotically Minkowskian, there exists an absolute standard of rest determining which twin is the oldest at the r...
