Quasars: Redshifts
Scientific paper
It was proposed that there are two effects which may cause the periodicity in the redshift distribution of QSO's. The first is the periodicity exhibited by the intrinsic wavelengths of the main lines used in determining redshifts. The second is the restriction on the range of spectral line redshifts imposed by the optical window. This paper supports the above-mentioned second view-point and at the same time demonstrates the impracticability of the first one. Starting from the second one, the author applies the method of probability analysis and obtains a distribution of observation probabilities in redshifts. This distribution agrees rather well with a part of observations and, on the whole, can interpret the periodicity in the redshift distribution of QSO's.
