  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. Gravitational redshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_redshift

    Gravitational redshift can be interpreted as a consequence of the equivalence principle (that gravitational effects are locally equivalent to inertial effects and the redshift is caused by the Doppler effect) [5] or as a consequence of the mass–energy equivalence and conservation of energy ('falling' photons gain energy), [6] [7] though there ...

  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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JADES-GS-z14-0

    JADES-GS-z14-0 is a high-redshift Lyman-Break galaxy in the constellation Fornax that was discovered in 2024 using NIRcam as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It has a redshift of 14.32, making it the most distant galaxy and astronomical object ever discovered.

  6. 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.

    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 ...

    We’ve all heard of the term "spectrum," used to describe everything from colors to mental health, but what does it mean when applied to gender and sexuality? As the world has further explored ...

  9. Lyman-break galaxy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyman-break_galaxy

    The technique may be adapted to look for galaxies at other redshifts by choosing different sets of filters; the method works as long as images may be taken through at least one filter above and below the wavelength of the redshifted Lyman limit. In order to confirm the redshift estimated by the color selection, follow-up spectroscopy is ...
