Cosmological Constraints from Compact Radio Source Angular Size versus Redshift Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the Gurvits, Kellermann, & Frey compact radio source angular size versus redshift data to place constraints on cosmological model parameters in models with and without a constant or time-variable cosmological constant. The resulting constraints are consistent with but weaker than those determined using current supernova apparent magnitude versus redshift data. Subject headings: cosmology: cosmological parameters—cosmology: observation—largescale structure of the universe

Cardassian Expansion: Constraints from Compact Radio Source Angular Size versus Redshift Data
The “Cardassian Expansion Scenario” was recently proposed by Freese & Lewis as an alternative to a cosmological constant in explaining the current accelerating universe. In this paper we investigate observational constraints on this scenario from recent measurements of the angular size of high-z compact radio sources compiled by Gurvits and coworkers. We show that the allowed intervals for n an...
متن کاملTight cosmological constraints from the angular-size/redshift relation for ultra-compact radio sources
Some years ago (Jackson and Dodgson 1997) analysis of the angular-size/redshift relationship for ultra-compact radio sources indicted that for spatially flat universes the best choice of cosmological parameters was Ωm = 0.2 and ΩΛ = 0.8. Here I present an astrophysical model of these sources, based upon the idea that for those with redshift z > 0.5 each measured angular size corresponds to a si...
متن کاملComparison of cosmological models using Bayesian theory
Using the Bayesian theory of model comparison, a new cosmological model due to John and Joseph @M. V. John and K. Babu Joseph, Phys. Rev. D 61, 087304 ~2000!# is compared with the standard VLÞ0 cosmological model. Their analysis based on the recent apparent magnitude-redshift data of type Ia supernovas found evidence against the new model; our more careful analysis finds instead that this evide...
متن کاملThe “ angular size – redshift ” relation for compact radio structures in quasars and radio galaxies ?
We discuss the “angular size – redshift” relation for compact radio sources distributed over a wide range of redshifts 0.011 ≤ z ≤ 4.72. Our study is based on a sample of 330 5 GHz VLBI contour maps taken from the literature. Unlike extended source samples, the “angular size – redshift” relation for compact radio sources appears consistent with the predictions of standard Friedmann world models...
متن کاملFlat Cosmology with Coupled Matter and Dark Energies
Three models of a flat universe of coupled matter and dark energies with different low-redshift parameterizations of the dark energy equation of state are considered. The dark energy is assumed to vary with time like the trace of the energy-momentum tensor of cosmic matter. In the radiation-dominated era the models reduce to standard cosmology. In the matter-dominated era they are, for modern v...
