Recessional velocity

Recessional velocity is the rate at which an astronomical object is moving away, typically from Earth. It can be measured by shifts in spectral lines or estimated by general reddening of a galactic spectra.

Galaxies outside our galaxy often have their recessional velocity calculated relative to the cosmic microwave background.

Recessional velocity is most pertinent to distant galaxies, which (due to Hubble's Law) redshift proportionally to their distance from the Earth. The redshift is usually interpreted as due to recessional velocity, which can be calculated according to the formula:

where ${\displaystyle H_{0}}$ is the Hubble constant, ${\displaystyle D}$ is the intervening distance in Mpc, and ${\displaystyle v}$ is the recessional velocity, generally measured in km/s.
