借助James Webb Space Telescope(JWST,詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜),近期发现了红移$z>10$的天体,这对已流行一段时间的$Λ$CDM宇宙学模型提出了严峻挑战。新数据表明,星系形成必定发生得远早于该模型的预期。另一类可行的宇宙学模型是所谓的滑行模型,其中宇宙的标度因子随时间成比例变化。在这些模型中,红移$z=12$时的宇宙拥有充足时间(约1070 Myrs)用于星系形成。此类模型最早由E.A. Milne基于其“运动学相对论”提出,但由于未将引力视为宇宙学尺度上的相关因素,它被认为是不现实的。早在SNe Ia数据开始大量涌现之前,本文作者就提出了一种闭合版本的永恒滑行FLRW模型。随后,我们发展了同类中更一般的模型,该模型对全部三种可能几何均有效,即空间截面为开放、闭合或平坦。在非相对论时期,该模型给出可证伪的预测:物质密度与暗能量密度之比为2。这避免了宇宙巧合问题。此外,这种永恒滑行模型为物质从暗能量中创生留出了空间,正如JWST数据所暗示的,这可能加速早期时期的星系和结构形成。本文还尝试综述一些类似的滑行模型,但强调永恒滑行宇宙学是最有可能解释JWST所发现高红移星系存在的候选模型。
英文摘要:
The recent discovery of objects with redshift $z>10$ with the help of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) poses serious challenges to the $Λ$CDM cosmological model, which has been in vogue for some time now. The new data indicate that galaxy formation must have taken place much earlier than expected in this model. Another viable class of cosmological models is that of the so-called coasting models, in which the scale factor of the universe varies proportionately with time. In these models, the universe at redshift $z=12$ has ample time ($\sim 1070$ Myrs) for galaxy formation. The earliest such model is the one proposed by E.A. Milne, based on his `kinematic relativity', but it is considered unrealistic for not treating gravity as relevant at cosmological scales. A closed version of an eternal coasting FLRW model was proposed by the present authors even before SNe Ia data began to pour in. Subsequently we developed a more general model of the same class, which is valid for all the three possible geometries, with open, closed or flat spatial sections. In the nonrelativistic era, this model makes the falsifiable prediction that the ratio of matter density to dark energy density is 2. This avoids the cosmic coincidence problem. Moreover, this eternal coasting model allows room for creation of matter from dark energy, that may speed up galaxy and structure formation at the early epochs, as implied by the JWST data. The paper also attempts to review some similar coasting models, but emphasizes the eternal coasting cosmology as the most probable candidate model capable of explaining the presence of high redshift galaxies discovered by JWST.
