Default Doppler Tests on Local Stars

A prediction of the teleconnection is that the reason for the flattening
of galaxy rotation curves is that radial velocity measured using Doppler
requires a correction due to cosmological expansion. If this is true
then the orbital velocity of the sun about the Milky Way is ~160km/s,
not ~220km/s as is usually stated


You need to worry about how these results are consistent with the
observed parallactic motion of the galactic centre -- see e.g. Reid &
Brunthaler 2004 ApJ 616 872.
