cosmological redshift

The redshift resulting from the expansion of the Universe rather than from gravitational effects of intervening matter (see gravitational redshift) or from the motion of an intragalactic object away from the Solar System. See also cosmic scale factor.

(astronomy)
The red shift that can be ascribed entirely to the general expansion of space-time initiated by the big bang.

Perhaps with the Doppler interpretation of the cosmological redshift reconsidered -- and rejected -- we can at last embrace the essential beauty and mystery of cosmic expansion as originally envisioned by its discoverers.

There is no need for expansion of space and its cosmological redshift to explain the SNe1a data.
Distant redshifted SNe1a light sources from the Universe that are usually interpreted as cosmological redshifts are shown to be universal gravitational redshifts seen by all observers in the quantum celestial mechanics (QCM) approach to cosmology.
