Cosmological Distance Scale. Part 14: “Hubble Bubble” and the Gravitational Dipole

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Drawing on astronomical discoveries made in the past 25 years, the paper discusses possible causes of the phenomenon perceived as the “accelerated expansion of the universe.” In 1998, to confirm the “accelerated expansion of the universe,” the High-Z SN Search Team tested and rejected the hypothesis about the effect produced by a local void — Hubble bubble — using data on 44 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), which was believed to be an alternative to the positive cosmological constant. Also in 1998, the present author and specialists of the Computing Center of the Academy of Sciences (CC RAS) discovered divergent dipole anisotropy in the redshift of 383 quasars and radio galaxies along the Virgo – Leo ↔ Eridanus – Aquarius axis when testing the MCM-stat M program for multivariate statistical analysis using standard reference data. In 2007, the issues associated with anisotropy caught the attention of cosmologists, while in 2016, the High-Z SN Search Team and the Carnegie–Chicago Hubble program initiated a discussion about the impasse in cosmology. An additional analysis revealed that the dipole anisotropy in the redshift of SNe Ia, as well as radio galaxies, is inversely oriented with respect to the dipole anisotropy of quasars.

Notes

  1. As a function of time, the Hubble constant is called the Hubble parameter [2].

  2. Perhaps the terms “dark substance” and “dark field” would be more appropriate.

  3. Astronomical term — departure of the local value of the Hubble constant H0 from its globally averaged value, a local void in the matter distribution [13].

  4. According to Hubble’s law cz = H0r, a speed of about 7000 km·s−1 corresponds to z ~ 0.02 or a distance of z ~ 108 Mpc.

  5. In the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model, ΩΛ is called the dark energy density parameter.
