UV surface brightness of galaxies from the local universe to z ~ 5

Abstract: The Tolman test for surface brightness dimming was originally proposed as a test for the expansion of the Universe. The test, which is independent of the details of the assumed cosmology, is based on comparisons of the surface brightness (SB) of identical objects at different cosmological distances. Claims have been made that the Tolman test provides compelling evidence against a static model for the Universe. In this paper we reconsider this subject by adopting a static Euclidean Universe with a linear Hubble… Show more

“…That said, the results are not spectacularly convincing at first sight with 2.59 in the "R band" which a cynic may say is more like "splitting the difference" between the two models rather than distinguishing between them. To resolve the issue Lerner et al [10] looked at the UV surface brightness of galaxies from the local Universe to z ~ 5 using the HUDF and GALEX datasets. They concluded "that available observations of galactic SB are consistent with a static Euclidean model of the Universe.…”

“…7, No. 2;2015 induced redshift, the cosmological potential induced redshift, and the Doppler redshift resulting from the recession velocity. The star gravity induced redshift does not have to be considered here, since after the star or the galaxy explosions have occurred when the Supernova explosions or the GRB data are compiled, most of the principal source of the gravitational field has been converted to radiation and radiated away and only the remnants or the afterglow produce the light that is observed.…”
