Alternative Cosmology Group Newsletter - July 2006

Posted July 20, 2006

Correction to June Newsletter:

Due to error on the part of the editor, the third item was incorrectly described as confirming a constant surface brightens of galaxies. In fact, the paper used old data from Lubin and Sandage which implied a (z+1)^-3 variation in surface brightness. The error is now corrected in the June newsletter.
 

Two papers on the difficulty of reconciling galaxy number density and evolution models.
