May I just ask what are pertinent to me a couple of questions re doppler shift. To be able to evaluate anything from doppler shift three things need to be known with certainty. 1. The original stationary frequency of the EMR source. 2. The actual direction and motion of the source 3. The actual direction and motion of the observer. I cannot understand how any person on earth can establish what the original frequency spectrum of the far away star is, given that they do not know if what is being observed is moving or static relative to us the observer let alone the direction of this movement. Add to this the presumed motions of our observation post, the earth, which may or may not be true. How certain can we be of the accuracy of classifications given to stars, based upon measurements of of our own sun, given the uncertainty of the three basic requirements shown above, and considering also that stars as does our sun vary over time. Even with the help of observed binary star systems the doppler shift proves there is a rotation, but it can only provide an average of the frequency spectrum which is not the true frequency, unless the system was static relative to our own star, which of course is impossible to know. Of what use is doppler shift in cosmology ? Isn't it just another case of assumptions, like big brother Bang?

A fine contribution. I would be very interested in the Doppler shift distribution that you propose, especially as MS already describes redshift as a "statistical" phenomenon. Also, if you decide to write something up on these negative parallaxes for your own site, then I would like to link to it if that's okay? (May I suggest a change of colours, though, just to make it more obvious when you are commenting and when you are quoting?) Neville.

Go ahead and start the research - don't wait for me. My agenda is filling up with more books, articles and projects, so it may be a while before I get back to this. To keep the analysis unbiased, we should each use different star catalogs for the raw data- I will be using CDS III/239. I have no Web site yet, just a file server. In any case you are always free to link up, w/o a permission request.

I struggled to understand how parallax could be negative, in terms of its angular definition. So I did some surfing. Even astronomers themselves don't trust negative parallax (or HIP) : . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.
