Reasons in favor of a Hubble-Lemaitre-Slipher's (HLS) law

TL;DR

This paper advocates for renaming Hubble's law to Hubble-Lemaître-Slipher's law by highlighting historical contributions of Slipher, Lemaître, and Hubble to the discovery of the universe's expansion.

Contribution

It provides historical evidence supporting the inclusion of Slipher's name alongside Lemaître and Hubble in the law of cosmic expansion.

Findings

Historical analysis favors including Slipher's name.

Slipher's contributions are significant and well-documented.

The proposed name change reflects scientific history accurately.

Abstract

Based on historical facts, revisited from a present-day perspective, and on the documented opinions of the scientists involved in the discovery themselves, strong arguments are given in favor of a proposal to include prominent astronomer Vesto Slipher to the suggested addition of Georges Lema\^itre's name to Hubble's law on the expansion of the Universe, and thus eventually call it Hubble-Lema\^itre-Slipher's (HLS) law.
