Hubble Law: Measure and Interpretation

Abstract: We have had the chance to live through a fascinating revolution in measuring the fundamental empirical cosmological Hubble law. The key progress is analysed : 1) improvement of observational means (ground-based radio and optical observations, space missions) ; 2) understanding of the biases that affect both distant and local determinations of the Hubble constant; 3) new theoretical and observational results. These circumstances encourage us to take a critical look at some facts and ideas related to the cosmolo… Show more

“…as proposed previously [51]. Interestingly, according to eqn 21, if the age of HD140283 is assumed to provide a fair estimate for T f , with H 0 ≈ 70 km/s/Mpc [24,75,76,77], the oldest objects at z ≈ 4 are expected to have an age of T obs (4) ≈ 2.8 Gyr, in good agreement with the measured age of APM 08279+5255. Note that it has been claimed that ΛCDM can hardly cope with the estimated age of APM 08279+5255 [90,93,94,95].…”

“…Thus, with H 0 ≈ 70 km/s/Mpc [24,75,76,77], σ G ≈ 5 10 41 m 2 , the corresponding radius being of ≈ 2 10 20 m, which is indeed the order of magnitude of the radius of a galaxy.…”

“…The redshifts of the 300 GRBs considered were sorted by increasing values, so as to build 12 groups of 25 GRBs, the GRBs of each group having redshifts belonging to a given range, namely: Figure 1 shows the density of GRB sources observed by Swift for each of these 12 ranges, as obtained using eqn (7). It is found to be fairly constant up to z ≈ 4, with ρ M (z i , z j ) = 1.8 ± 0.5 GRB sources per Gpc 3 , if H 0 = 73 km.s −1 .Mpc −1 [26,27].…”

“…H 0 is the slope of the line in the Hubble-Lemaître Law, relating the recession velocity of a galaxy to the distance that it is from an observer. A representation of this law can be seen in Figure 1, obtained from Paturel et al [3]. In other words, H 0 relates to the expansion of the Universe on cosmic scales and is named after Edwin Hubble who discovered it in 1929 when he realized that galaxies' velocities away from an observer are directly proportional to their distance from that observer, except for cases of peculiar velocities [4].…”
