Relativistic corrections to fractal analyses of the galaxy distribution
The effect of curvature on the results of fractal analyses of the galaxy distribution is investigated. We show that, if the universe satisfies the criteria of a wide class of parabolic homogeneous models, the observers measuring the fractal index with the integrated conditional density procedure may use the Hubble formula, without having to allow for curvature, out to distances of 600 Mpc, and ...
متن کاملFractal Approach to Large–Scale Galaxy Distribution
We present a review of the history and the present state of the fractal approach to the large-scale distribution of galaxies. The roots of the modern idea of cosmic fractality go to the beginning of the 20th century, when hierarchical world models were proposed by Fournier and Charlier. Fundamental aspects of hierarchical matter distribution was discussed by Einstein and Selety in the correspon...
متن کاملBoundary Corrections in Fractal Analysis of Galaxy Surveys
The analysis of redshift surveys with fractal tools requires one to apply some form of statistical correction for galaxies lying near the geometric boundary of the sample. In this paper we compare three different methods of performing such a correction upon estimates of the correlation integral in order to assess the extent to which estimates may be biased by boundary terms. We apply the correc...
متن کاملLocal angular fractal and galaxy distribution
The power-law dependence of the angle in the angular projection of galaxy distribution is explained by assuming that in the spherical shells within a small angle the distributions are also fractal, this local angular fractal gives the so-called local isotropy a precise meaning and thus realizes the Cosmological Principle in a fractal model in a rather strict way. If it possesses local angular f...
متن کاملCosmological Distances and Fractal Statistics of the Galaxy Distribution
This paper studies the effect of the distance choice in radial (non-average) statistical tools used for fractal characterization of the galaxy distribution. After reviewing the basics of measuring distances of cosmological sources, various distance definitions are used to calculate the differential density γ and the integral differential density γ∗ of the dust distribution in the Einstein-de Si...
