Misschien brengt deze link inzicht. Het gaat trouwens over sterrenstelsels volgens mij, niet direct individuele sterren.
http://astro.wku.edu schreef:Hubble's Law states that the galaxy's recession speed = Ho * distance, where Ho is known as the Hubble constant and is a measure of the slope of the line through the distance versus recession velocity data. The line goes through the origin (0,0) because that represents our home position (zero distance) and we are not moving away from ourselves (zero speed).

galaxy's distance, we must rely on indirect methods. For instance, one assumption used by Hubble, and other early 20th century astronomers, is to assume all galaxies of the same type are the same physical size, no matter where they are. This is known as "the standard ruler" assumption. To determine the distance to a galaxy one would only need to measure its apparent (angular) size, and use the small angle equation: a = s / d, where a is the measured angular size (in radians!), s is the galaxy's true size (diameter), and d is the distance to the galaxy.

Indien men de relatie: snelheid (uit Doppler shift) vs. afstand weet van sterrenstelsels (Hubble law), kan men ook uit de redshift alleen de afstand afschatten (indien men het type sterrenstelsel identificeert). Maar om de relatie snelheid afstand eenmalig vast te stellen dient men vergelijkbare methoden als quote 2 gebruiken.
(men kan volgens mij ook rotationele redshift sterren bepalen binnen in een stelsel sterren tegenwoordig. links vs. rechts. Maar dit is snelheid relateert niet om afstand te bepalen)
