Cosmological number density in depth from V/Vm distribution


الملخص بالإنكليزية

Using distribution p(V/Vm) of V/Vm rather than just mean <V/Vm> in V/Vm-test leads directly to cosmological number density n(z). Calculation of n(z) from p(V/Vm) is illustrated using best sample (of 76 quasars) available in 1981, when method was developed. This is only illustrative, sample being too small for any meaningful results. Keywords: V/Vm . luminosity volume . cosmological number density . V/Vm distribution
