The authors draw on their personal experience in astrophysics and cosmology to explain key concepts of cosmology, both observational and theoretical, and to highlight several items which give cosmology its special character. These highlighted items are: Ideosyncratic features of the “cosmic laboratory”, Malmquist bias in the determination of cosmic distances, Theory of gravitation as a cornerstone of cosmological models, Crucial tests for checking the reality of space expansion, Methods of analyzing the structures of the universe as mapped by galaxies, Usefulness of fractals as a model to describe the large-scale structure and new cosmological physics inherent in the Friedmann world model.. | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | 关键词 | Astrophysical Cosmology; Astrophysical tests of Gravity theories; Cosmography; Cosmolgical redshift; Cos | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-2379-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-3718-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-007-2379-5Series ISSN 0067-0057 Series E-ISSN 2214-7985 | issn_series | 0067-0057 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2012 |
