Counts of faint galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 February 2017
Extract
The number-magnitude relation for galaxies is an insensitive test for discriminating between cosmological models. Nevertheless, counts of faint galaxies enable us to investigate possible evolutionary effects, which may be caused by time dependence of the luminosity and/or number density of galaxies.
