摘要
本文对Veron-Cetty和Veron类星体表中3197颗红移精度为0.001的类星体做了红移分布的周期性分析。结果表明:类星体红移值在几个方向上存在高频波动的周期性分布,且置信度水平较高。根据我们的分析,这种周期性不可能完全是由于选择效应引起的。因此,类星体在大尺度上的分布很可能具有大约50Mpc的周期涨落。
The Periodicity in the redshift distribution of quasars is analysed.The sample used is 3179 quasars with redshift accuracy 0.001 extracted from in the AGN catalog compiled by Veron-Cetty and Veron(1989).A few high frequency periods are found in different sky regions with confidence levels higher than 90%.Such a high frequency period is not due to the selection effect in observations according to our analyses.The results show that quasars distribute possibly in the universe with a large scale periodic fluctuation of a characteristic scale about 50h-1 Mpc.
