Description

The identification of the linear radius of maximum rotational velocity in our Galaxy with the angular radii of maximum rotational velocity in other galaxies indicates a Hubble constant of H = 54+58-28 km s-1Mpc-1. The data is inconclusive regarding a possible Hubble anisotropy. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Die Gleichsetzung des linearen Radius der maximalen Rotationsgeschwindigkeit in unserer Galaxis mit den Winkelradien der maximalen Rotationsgeschwindigkeit in anderen Galaxien ergibt eine Hubble-Konstante von H = 54+58-28 km s-1Mpc-1. Die Daten sind im Hinblick auf eine moegliche Hubble-Anisotropie unschluessig. (orig.)
