A Search for QSOs to Fit a Cosmological Model with Flat, Closed Spatial Sections
Abstract
A cosmological model with Einstein-de Sitter local metric and three-torus spatial topology predicts multiple images of cosmic sources like QSOs. Assuming that our Galaxy, in an early stage of its evolution, was such a source, the authors look in a quasar catalog for the ones that can possibly be interpreted as images of the Galaxy in that stage, expecting to fit a particular realization of that model.
