  2. Gravitational redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift

    In physics and general relativity, gravitational redshift (known as Einstein shift in older literature) [1] [2] is the phenomenon that electromagnetic waves or photons travelling out of a gravitational well lose energy. This loss of energy corresponds to a decrease in the wave frequency and increase in the wavelength, known more generally as a ...

  3. Redshift quantization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift_quantization

    Redshift quantization, also referred to as redshift periodicity, [1] redshift discretization, [2] preferred redshifts [3] and redshift-magnitude bands, [4] [5] is the hypothesis that the redshifts of cosmologically distant objects (in particular galaxies and quasars) tend to cluster around multiples of some particular value.

  4. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    In physics, a redshift is an increase in the wavelength, and corresponding decrease in the frequency and photon energy, of electromagnetic radiation (such as light).The opposite change, a decrease in wavelength and increase in frequency and energy, is known as a blueshift, or negative redshift.

    The redshift of Sirius B was finally measured by Greenstein et al. in 1971, obtaining the value for the gravitational redshift of 89 ± 16 km/s, with more accurate measurements by the Hubble Space Telescope showing 80.4 ± 4.8 km/s. [38]

    JADES-GS-z13-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-break galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) during NIRCam imaging for the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) on 29 September 2022.

    He had discovered the phenomenon of recoilless γ-emission. [1] [note 1] In 1959, several research groups, most notably Robert Pound and Glen Rebka in Harvard and a team led by John Paul Schiffer in Harwell (England), announced plans to exploit this recently discovered effect to perform terrestrial tests of gravitational redshift.

  8. UDFj-39546284 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UDFj-39546284

    UDFj-39546284 is a high-redshift Lyman-break galaxy discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in infrared Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (HUDF) observations in 2009. The object, located in the Fornax constellation, was identified by G. Illingworth (UC Santa Cruz), R. Bouwens (UC Santa Cruz and Leiden University) and the HUDF09 Team during 2009 and 2010.

  9. 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.
