The angular size redshift relation describes the relation between the angular size observed on the sky of an object of given physical size, and the objects Redshift from Earth (which is related to its distance from Earth). In a Euclidean geometry the relation between size on the sky and distance from Earth would simply be given by the equation: where is the angular size of the object on the sky, is the size of the object and is the distance to the object. Where is small this approximates to: . However, in the Currently Favoured Geometric Model Of Our Universe , the relation is more complicated. In this model, objects at Redshift s greater than about 1.5 appear ''larger'' on the sky with increasing Redshift . This is related to the Angular Diameter Distance , which is the distance an object is calculated to be at from and , assuming the Universe is Euclidean . RELATED LINKS |
