Gravitational redshifts and the mass distributions of galaxies and clusters

This thesis studies a new method of constraining the mass distributions of elliptical galaxies and clusters of galaxies: gravitational redshift. The aim was to determine the types of astrophysical object in which gravitational redshift can be most readily detected and to attempt to observe the effec...
