Surface brightness and evolution of galaxies
Abstract
It is well known that before the redshift-magnitude diagram of galaxies could be used for determination of the cosmological parameters one must know the evolution of the galaxies. We propose use of apparent surface brightness: which depends only on the redshift and is independent of the cosmological model and the inhomogeneities in the universe: for observational determination of the evolution of galaxies. The needed observations are isophotal angular diameters and apparent magnitudes within this or any other reasonable angular diameter. The application of the results for determination of q/sub 0/ is discussed briefly. (AIP)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
