Sloan数字巡天类星体计数中未知选择效应模拟红移周期性

Unknown selection effect simulates redshift periodicity in quasar number counts from Sloan Digital Sky Survey

John G. Hartnett

摘要:

对类星体数量的离散傅立叶分析,作为红移的函数,$z$,从斯隆数字巡天DR 6版本计算出来,似乎表明类星体具有优先的周期性红移,红移间隔为0.258,0.312,0.44,0.63和1.1。然而,在用于标记光谱测量的可靠性的$zConf$参数的平均值中发现相同的周期。因此,这些红移周期一定是由某种选择效应引起的,但尚未确定。它并不表示类星体中任何内在的(量子化的)红移。

英文摘要:

Discrete Fourier analysis on the quasar number count, as a function of redshift, $z$, calculated from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR6 release appears to indicate that quasars have preferred periodic redshifts with redshift intervals of 0.258, 0.312, 0.44, 0.63, and 1.1. However the same periods are found in the mean of the $zConf$ parameter used to flag the reliability of the spectroscopic measurements. It follows that these redshift periods must result from some selection effect, as yet undetermined. It does not signal any intrinsic (quantized) redshifts in the quasars.
