Description

Two cosmological tests using optical data for individual galaxies are considered. One is based on the Hubble diagram, i.e. the relation between apparent magnitude and redshift (m-z) for brightest cluster galaxies and the other is based on counts of galaxies as a function of apparent magnitude. Both prove to be sensitive to different aspects of galactic evolution and different properties of the universe. (Auth.)
