  2. Redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift

    The effect is sometimes called the "Doppler–Fizeau effect". In 1868, British astronomer William Huggins was the first to determine the velocity of a star moving away from the Earth by the method. [5] In 1871, optical redshift was confirmed when the phenomenon was observed in Fraunhofer lines, using solar rotation, about 0.1 Å in the red. [6]

  3. Cosmological constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant

    Thus, the Lambda-CDM model, the current standard model of cosmology which uses the FLRW metric, includes the cosmological constant, which is measured to be on the order of 10 −52 m −2. It may be expressed as 10 −35 s −2 (multiplying by c 2 ≈ 10 17 m 2 ⋅s −2 ) or as 10 −122 ℓ P −2 [ 29 ] (where ℓ P is the Planck length).

  4. lambda-connectedness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-connectedness

    The lambda-connected segmentation is a region-growing segmentation method in general. It can also be made for split-and-merge segmentation. [ 4 ] Its time complexity also reaches the optimum at O ( n l o g n ) {\displaystyle O(nlogn)} where n {\displaystyle n} is the number of pixels in the image.

  5. Error correction code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_correction_code

    Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are a class of highly efficient linear block codes made from many single parity check (SPC) codes. They can provide performance very close to the channel capacity (the theoretical maximum) using an iterated soft-decision decoding approach, at linear time complexity in terms of their block length.

  6. Hubble's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble's_law

    The redshift z is often described as a redshift velocity, which is the recessional velocity that would produce the same redshift if it were caused by a linear Doppler effect (which, however, is not the case, as the velocities involved are too large to use a non-relativistic formula for Doppler shift).

  7. Lambda-CDM model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda-CDM_model

    For the Lambda-CDM model with a positive cosmological constant (as observed), the universe is predicted to expand forever regardless of whether the total density is slightly above or below the critical density; though other outcomes are possible in extended models where the dark energy is not constant but actually time-dependent.

  8. Error-tolerant design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error-tolerant_design

    An error-tolerant design (or human-error-tolerant design [1]) is one that does not unduly penalize user or human errors. It is the human equivalent of fault tolerant design that allows equipment to continue functioning in the presence of hardware faults, such as a "limp-in" mode for an automobile electronics unit that would be employed if ...

  9. Redshift survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift_survey

    In astronomy, a redshift survey is a survey of a section of the sky to measure the redshift of astronomical objects: usually galaxies, but sometimes other objects such as galaxy clusters or quasars. Using Hubble's law, the redshift can be used to estimate the distance of an object from Earth. By combining redshift with angular position data, a ...
