redshifted line xatt-e sorx kibideh Fr.: raie décalée vers le rouge    A spectral line whose wavelength does not coincide with its theoretical value and is shifted toward longer wavelengths.  | 
relativistic redshift sorx kib-e  bâzânigimand Fr.: décalage vers le rouge relativiste    A redshift caused by the → relativistic Doppler effect. → gravitational redshift. → relativistic; → redshift.  | 
shift kib Fr.: décalage    A change in place or position, in particular a change in wavelength, causing a movement of a spectral band or line. → redshift; → blueshift. Shift, M.E., from O.E. sciftan "to divide, arrange"; akin to O.N. skipa "to arrange, assign." Kib "shift" from kibidan "to shift, displace, turn on one side," kibidé "displaced, turned on one side."  |
