摘要
Cosmological parameters of a spatially flat universe with a decaying cosmological constant-LAMBDA that is proposed by Peebles and Ratra are constrained from recent observations of number count of faint galaxies in the blue and near-infrared passbands. We determine possible combinations of density parameter OMEGA-0 and the index alpha which controls the decaying rate of LAMBDA. It is found that the number count data indicate OMEGA-0 = 0.3-0.5 for a possible range of alpha, and that the high-density OMEGA-0 = 1 universe with zero space curvature is strongly disfavored by these data.
