Cosmological tests using the angular size of galaxy clusters

We use measurements of the galaxy-cluster angular size versus redshift to test and compare the standard model ($\Lambda$CDM) and the $R_{\rm h}=ct$ Universe. We show that the latter fits the data with a reduced $\chi^2_{\rm dof}=0.786$ for a Hubble constant $H_{0}= 72.6_{-3.4}^{+3.8}$ km $\rm s^...
