On Hubble’s Law of Redshift, Olbers’ Paradox and the Cosmic Background Radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
We utilize the principle of conservation of energy in a model which explains the cosmological redshift, Olbers’ paradox and the cosmic background radiation. The model is based on a hypothesis of absorption and emission of light by galactic and intergalactic matter, and a mean temperature of matter in the Universe compatible with the background radiation. We also discuss the early works of Regener and Nernst related to these topics. Lastly we derive some known scaling laws for galaxies, i.e., luminosity to mass and luminosity to area, which had not been well understood up to now. All of this is accomplished supposing a boundless, stationary Universe that is homogeneous on the large scale.

The redshift of extragalactic nebulae
The important, lasting result of Fritz Zwicky’s early paper on extragalactic astrophysics, which is not mentioned in the abstract, is his conclusion, derived in Sect. 5, that the universe contains much more dark than luminous matter. This result is embedded in a review of what was known about “nebulae” and their redshift in 1933. The first methods to determine distances of galaxies and their di...

متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE Neutrino and Gamma Ray Flux Expectations from HiRes Monocular Fits
A simple model of a homogeneous population of cosmic accelerators injecting protons following a unique power law has long been shown to fit the HiRes monocular data very well. The model evolves the sources with redshift and adjusts both the redshift evolution and the exponent in the injecting power law to fit the data. At lower energies galactic iron is added in as suggested by composition meas...
متن کاملJoint estimation of cosmological parameters from CMB and IRAS data
Observations of large scale structure (LSS) and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) each place separate constraints on the values of cosmological parameters. We calculate a joint likelihood based on various CMB experiments and the IRAS 1.2Jy galaxy redshift survey and use this to find an overall optimum with respect to the free parameters. Our formulation self-consistently takes account of th...
متن کاملProbing the cosmic microwave background temperature using the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect
We discuss the possibility to constrain the relation between redshift and temperature of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) using multifrequency Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) observations. We have simulated a catalog of clusters of galaxies detected through their SZ signature assuming the sensitivities that will be achieved by the Planck satellite at 100, 143 and 353 GHz, taking into account the in...
