  Arp Peculiar Galaxy Club Introduction | The Astronomical League
Halton C. Arp is one of the key actors in the contemporary debate on the origin and evolution of galaxies in the universe.
Arp was born in 1924, a distant cousin of the French painter Jean Arp.
Arp could not measure if the quasars that appeared to be clustering around the peculiar galaxies are actually physically related to peculiar galaxy since he could only measure the distance to galaxies and quasars by Hubble's Law, which puts the quasars much farther away than the peculiar galaxies.

 Book Review: Seeing Red by Halton Arp
This leads Arp to suggest that the redshift of matter is an inverse function of the age of that matter.
Arp concludes that quasars are initially faint, point-like objects of high redshift that transform into lower-redshift, compact objects surrounded by a fuzz as they evolve.
Arp suggests that a sampling of referee reports, showing "manipulative, sly, insulting, arrogant, and above all angry" referees, ought to be published because it would allow people to evaluate the objectivity of the information they are being allowed to read.

 SCIENTISTS SPEAK ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF MATTER - 3   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Halton C. Arp, a careful astronomer and astrophysicist, has compiled a remarkable collection of facts which negate acceptance of the speed theory of redshift.
Arp therefore argued that the high redshift of these quasars are caused by factors other than distance.
In 1983, Arp was to suffer the indignity of being barred from the tools of his trade.

 Halton Arp
Halton C. Arp was born on March 21, 1927, New York, N.Y., U.S. Arp had some valuable data in that he was an American astronomer noted for challenging the theory that red shifts of quasars indicate their great distance.
Arp became skeptical about the distance of quasars when he noticed that some of the galaxies that he had included in his Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies (1966) seemed to lie in the vicinity of quasars.
Arp theorized that the nuclei of galaxies may explode, ejecting quasars with a velocity great enough to account for their red shifts.

 III 15 The Big Bang and The Background   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Arp's interpretation of the observations contradict the present accepted theory that cosmological red shifts are caused by recessional velocities, but there are lots of problems with red shift caused by recessional velocity.
Halton Arp's interpretation of the observations is stunning in that it is the complete reverse of all other conceptualizations of galactic dynamics.
Arp's observations show that galaxies are exploding and ejecting great bursts of energy which are transformed into the luminous matter in the great spiral arms of spiral galaxies, and that galactic explosions form spiral galactic rings, as well as form galactic polar rings, and galactic arcs.

 Exploding the big bang
Arp argues that redshift is primarily a function of age, and that tired light plays no more than a secondary role.
Arp comments: "By ignoring the empirical evidence for ejection from galaxies, they illustrated an unfortunate tendency in science, namely that when presented with two possibilities, scientists tend to choose the wrong one" (p.
Arp is one of a growing number of scientists who are returning to the idea of an infinite, eternal universe, subject to constant transformations [4].

 Redshifts and the Hubble Law
According to Halton Arp, observations began to accumulate from 1966 that could not be accounted for by this conventional explanation of the redshift effect.
In view of the popularity of the notion of gravitational lensing Arp suggests instead that some gravitationally compact bodies are being ejected and that these ejected bodies are simply gravitationally amplifying objects in the far background which have a redshift caused by a recession velocity.
Arp postulates that the strong gravitional fields of large masses within individual quasars and discrepant galaxies account for large redshifts, but points out that even for typical quasars like ZC48, nebulosity around the nucleus is measured at about the same redshift as the nucleus.

 Geology and cosmology
Arp (1998) has presented a compelling case against the big-bang assumption that all redshifts are caused by recession velocities and are proportional to distance.
Since Arp is now proposing that gravitons are entirely absorbed by matter, rather than rebounding and transferring only part of their energy, this would greatly exacerbate the problem.
In his 1998 book, Arp explained the proposed increase in mass quite differently, in terms of the Machian principle that as a particle ages, its light-signal sphere expands so that it "communicates" with more and more particles -- but it is not clear exactly how this would bring about an increase in mass.

 The Universe According to Arp
To the unconventional astronomer, especially to Halton Arp, who has been the primary collector of these discrepant observations, it looks as if the primary galaxy is ejecting "babies" that grow up into companion galaxies.
Arp contends that just about everything we can see in the direction of the Virgo Cluster is a family member of that cluster.
Arp speculates that there may be other such large clusters beyond the reach of present-day telescopes: After all, the mother of our visible group must have come from somewhere.

 The Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Halton Arp, Peculiar Galaxies :: Willmann-Bell, Inc.
The purpose of the Atlas, Arp stated in his preface, was to graphically present structural peculiarities in galaxies "in order to build a realistic picture of what galaxies are really like." At the time, astronomers were struggling to formulate a workable taxonomy of "symmetrical" galaxies using classification schemes such as Edwin Hubble's tuning fork diagram.
In addition, it provides a chronicle of Arp's saga, from his early work at Mount Wilson and Palomar, where the original Atlas was assembled, to his controversial research on discordant redshifts.
Although Arp's astrophysical interpretations have sparked controversy among his peers - the giants of professional astronomy - his story has stoked the interests of amateur astronomers throughout the world who want to know more about the man and his catalog of peculiar galaxies.

Halton Arp is an astrophysicist at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Munich, Germany.
For more than three decades, Arp has compiled—through extensive observational astronomy using some of the world’s finest telescopes—a sizable database of “peculiar” galaxies and redshift “anomalies.” These peculiarities and anomalies hardly are insignificant or few in number.

 Big-Bang Bunk
Also, as Arp points out, if the quasars are really at the claimed Big-Bang distances, then they should have a random distribution in the sky relative to the distribution of Seyfert galaxies, but they do not: The actual distribution of quasars is not random relative to the distribution of Seyferts.
Arp’s observations refute the Big Bang and give instead a universe of unknown size and age in which parent galaxies give birth to new galaxies that undergo a life-cycle that has a clear evolution from a juvenile stage (a quasar) to an adult stage (a galaxy such as our own Milky Way).
Arp considers a number of examples that Big-Bang advocates claim to be the result of gravitational lensing.
