| Abstract: | At the beginning of a series of papers concerning reality of various suggested cosmological evolutionary effects, the counts of quasars are examined. The recently reported counts of optically selected quasars (Green and Schmidt, 1978) probably have been biased by the use of distance-dependent morphological criteria of selection. The influence of this bias is to mimic cosmological evolution. The application of theK-correction for the counts of quasars is discussed. TheK-corrected, presumably unbiased counts of objects with ultraviolet excess and broad emission lines, including quasars and type 1 Seyfert galaxies, give the slopeb=0.6, i.e. a uniform radial distribution. Correctness of the latter sampling of data is dependent on the solution of the redshift problem and presupposes an inverse correlation between luminosity and intrinsic redshift. |
