- Title
Dark energy in flows of galaxies.
- Authors
Chernin, A.
- Abstract
It has traditionally been taken for granted that Hubble's law is the key relation in cosmology, while it is surprisingly mysterious on the local scales of 1-30 Mpc where it was originally discovered. The progress in observational cosmology and, in particular, the discovery of dark energy have changed the views, and now we see that Hubble's law works hardly at truly cosmological distances, but it rules very well on local scales. Recent observations with the HST, in combination with a theory model of the local expansion flows, give a clear evidence to the presence of dark energy in the local universe. It is dark energy that dominates the dynamics of the local flows and introduces to them the approximately linear velocity-distance relation with nearly universal expansion time-rate.
