The explanation is based on the assumption that quasar black holes are, in some sense, foreign for our Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe and do not participate in the Hubble flow. Although at first sight such a weird explanation requires unreasonably fine-tuned Big Bang initial conditions, we find a natural justification for it using the Milne cosmological model as an inspiration.

Cosmological Distances and Fractal Statistics of Galaxy Distribution
Astronomy & Astrophysics manuscript no. 1469 June 13, 2018 (DOI: will be inserted by hand later) Cosmological distances and fractal statistics of galaxy distribution Marcelo B. Ribeiro Physics Institute, University of Brazil–UFRJ, CxP 68532, CEP 21945-970, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; E-mail: [email protected] Received 15 June 2004 / Accepted August 2004 Abstract. This paper studies the effect of the distance choice in radial (non-average) statistical tools used for fractal characterization of 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 Sitter cosmology. The main results are as follows: (1) the choice of distance plays a crucial role in determining the scale where relativistic corrections must be taken ∗ into account, as both γ and γ are strongly affected by such a choice; (2) inappropriate distance choices may lead to failure to find evidence of a galaxy fractal structure when one calculates those quantities, even if such a structure does occur in the galaxy distribution; (3) the comoving distance and the distance given by Mattig’s ∗ formula are unsuitable to probe for a possible fractal pattern as they render γ and γ constant for all redshifts; (4) a possible galaxy fractal system at scales larger than 100Mpc (z ≈ 0.03) may only be found if those statistics ∗ are calculated with the luminosity or redshift distances, as they are the ones where γ and γ decrease at higher redshifts; (5) C´el´erier and Thieberger’s (2001) critique of Ribeiro’s (1995) earlier study are rendered impaired as their objections were based on misconceptions regarding relativistic distance definitions. -

Astro-Ph/9812074 3 Dec 1998 1 Ter Calibrations of Cepheid Luminositites, Alues
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by CERN Document Server The Cepheid Distance Scale after Hipparcos Frdric Pont Observatoire de Genve, Switzerland Abstract. More than twohundred classical cepheids were measured by the Hip- parcos astrometric satellite, making p ossible a geometrical calibration of the cepheid distance scale. However, the large average distance of even the nearest cepheids measured by Hipparcos implies trigonometric paral- laxes of at most a few mas. Determining unbiased distances and absolute magnitudes from such high relative error parallax data is not a trivial problem. In 1997, Feast & Catchp ole announced that Hipparcos cepheid paral- laxes indicated a Perio d-Luminosity scale 0.2 mag brighter than previous calibrations, with imp ortant consequences on the whole cosmic distance scale. In the wake of this initial study, several authors have reconsid- ered the question, and favour fainter calibrations of cepheid luminositites, compatible with pre-Hipparcos values. All authors used equivalent data sets, and the bulk of the di erence in the results arises from the statistical treatment of the parallax data. Wehave attempted to rep eat the analyses of all these studies and test them with Monte Carlo simulations and synthetic samples. We conclude that the initial Feast & Catchp ole study is sound, and that the subsequent studies are sub jected in several di erentways to biases involved in the treatment of high relative error parallax data. We consider the source of these biases in some detail. We also prop ose a reappraisal of the error budget in the nal Hipparcos cepheid result, leading to a PL relation { adapted from Feast & Catchp ole { of +0 M = 2:81(assumed) log P 1:43 0:16(stat) (syst) V 0:03 astro-ph/9812074 3 Dec 1998 We compare this calibration to recentvalues from cluster cepheids or the surface brightness metho d, and nd that the overall agreement is good within the uncertainties. -

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract We deduced the Hubble law and the age of the Universe, through the introduction of the Inverse Yukawa Field (IYF), as a non-local additive complement of the Newtonian gravitation (Modified Newtonian Dynamics). As a result, we connected the dynamics of astronomical objects at great scale with the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker ΛFRW) model. From the corresponding formalism, the Hubble law can be expressed as v=(4 π[ G] cr) , which was derived by evaluating the IYF force at distances much greater than 50 Mpc, giving a maximum value for the expansion rate of the (max) −−11 universe of H0 86.31 km⋅⋅ s Mpc , consistent with the observational data of 392 astronom- ical objects from NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED). This additional field (IYF) provides a simple interpretation of dark energy as the action of baryonic matter at large scales. -
