A Time-Dependent and Cosmological Model Consistent with Cosmological Constraints

Figure 1

(a) Variation of distance modulus with red shift . (b) The residuals in distance modulus relative to the open universe (shown by the blue curve) that expands forever. In both panels, data from [3] are superposed as in Figure  4 of [34]. The green curve shows matter-only universe that collapses on itself. Black curve shows the current constant model with of 0.73. The red and magenta curves correspond to the proposed variable model with of 0.82 and 0.73, respectively (see the text for more details).
