  2. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    However, photometry does at least allow a qualitative characterization of a redshift. For example, if a Sun-like spectrum had a redshift of z = 1, it would be brightest in the infrared(1000nm) rather than at the blue-green(500nm) color associated with the peak of its blackbody spectrum, and the light intensity will be reduced in the filter by a ...

  3. Tired light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tired_light

    Tired light was an idea that came about due to the observation made by Edwin Hubble that distant galaxies have redshifts proportional to their distance.Redshift is a shift in the spectrum of the emitted electromagnetic radiation from an object toward lower energies and frequencies, associated with the phenomenon of the Doppler effect.

  4. Photometric redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photometric_redshift

    A photometric redshift is an estimate for the recession velocity of an astronomical object such as a galaxy or quasar, made without measuring its spectrum.The technique uses photometry (that is, the brightness of the object viewed through various standard filters, each of which lets through a relatively broad passband of colours, such as red light, green light, or blue light) to determine the ...

  5. HD1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD1

    HD1 is one of the earliest and most distant known galaxies yet identified in the observable universe, having a spectroscopic redshift of z = 13.27, meaning that the light from the galaxy travelled for 13.5 billion years on its way to Earth, which due to the expansion of the universe, corresponds to a proper distance of approximately 33.4 billion light-years (10.2 billion parsecs).

  6. Lyman-alpha emitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman-alpha_emitter

    Evidence now shows strong evolution in the Lyman-alpha escape fraction with redshift, most likely associated with the buildup of dust in the ISM. Dust is shown to be the main parameter setting the escape of Lyman-alpha photons. [4] Additionally the metallicity, outflows, and detailed evolution with redshift is unknown.

    Arp has interpreted these connections to mean that these objects are in fact physically connected. He further hypothesized that the higher redshift objects are ejected from the lower redshift objects - which are usually active galactic nuclei (AGN)- and that the large observed redshifts of these "ejected" objects is dominated by a non ...
