| Abstract: | In 1968–2005 different observers (mainly, one of the authors—V.M. Lyuty) performed numerous measurements of luminosity of
the nucleus of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. It is shown that (a) luminosity of the object pulsated over 38 years with a period of 160.0106(7) min coinciding, within the error limits, with
the well-known period P
0 = 160.0101(2) min of the enigmatic “solar” pulsations, and (b) when registering oscillations of luminosity of NGC 4151 nucleus with the P
0 period, time moments of observations must be reduced to the earth instead of the sun, i.e., to the reference frame of the
observer. The coherent P
0 oscillation is characterized, therefore, by invariability of both frequency and phase with respect to redshift z and the earth’s orbital motion, respectively. From these results it, thus, follows that the coherent P
0 oscillation seems to be of a true cosmological origin. The P
0 period itself might represent a course of the “cosmic clock” related to the existence of an absolute time of the Universe
in Newton’s comprehension. |
