Description
On the basis of colorimetric data a composite spectrum of quasars is established from the visible to the Lyman's limit. Its agreement with the spectrum of the quasar 3C273, obtained directly, confirms the homogeneity of these objects. The compatibility of the following hypotheses: negligible evolution of quasars, Friedmann type model of the universe with cosmological constant, is studied by means of two tests: a non-correlation test adopted to the observation conditions and the construction of diagrams (absolute magnitude, volume) using the K-correction deduced from the composite spectrum. This procedure happens to give relatively well-defined values of the parameters; the central values of the density parameter, the reduced curvature and the reduced cosmological constant are: Ω0=0.053, k0=0.245, lambda-zero=1.19, which correspond to a big bang model, eternally expanding, spatially finite, in which Hubble's parameter H is presently increasing. This model responds well to different cosmological tests: density of matter, diameter of radio sources, age of the universe. Its characteristics suggest various cosmogonic mechanisms, espacially mass formation by growth of empty spherical bubbles

A partir des donnees colorimetriques des quasars, on construit un spectre composite de ces objets, du visible a la limite de Lyman. Son accord avec le spectre du quasar 3C273, obtenu directement, confirme l'homogeneite des quasars. On etudie la compatibilite des hypotheses suivantes: evolution negligeable des quasars, modele d'univers de type Friedmann avec constante cosmologique, au moyen de deux tests: un test de non-correlation adapte aux conditions d'observation, et la construction de diagrammes (magnitude absolue, volume), en utilisant la K-correction deduite du spectre composite. Il se trouve que l'on obtient ainsi des valeurs relativement bien definies des parametres; les valeurs centrales du parametre de densite, de la courbure reduite et de la constante cosmologique reduites sont: Ω0=0,053, k0=0,245, lambda-zero=1,19, qui correspondent a un modele de big-bang, a expansion eternelle, spatialement fini, dans lequel le parametre de Hubble H est actuellement croissant. Ce modele donne de bonnes reponses aux divers tests cosmologiques: densite de matiere, diametre des radio-sources, age de l'univers. Ses caracteristiques suggerent divers mecanismes cosmologiques, notamment la formation des amas par croissance de bulles spheriques videsFiles
