REDSHIFT PERIODICITY


AUTHOR(S) INFORMATION: Bajan K. and Flin P.

ABSTRACT

In this article we present the detailed history of the galaxy, quasar and large-scale (120 Mpc) redshift periodicity, starting from the first works performed in the seventies of the last century until present day. We discuss the observational data and methods used, showing in which cases the discretization of redshifts has been observed. We discussed also the distribution of radial velocities of galaxies belonging to two different structures: the Local Group of Galaxies and the Hercules Supercluster. We applied the power spectrum analysis using the Hann function for weighting, together with the jackknife error estimator. We found weak effects of redshift periodisation in both structures.
