CHANCE COINCIDENCES AND THE SO-CALLED REDSHIFT SYSTEMS IN THE ABSORPTION SPECTRUM OF PKS 0237-23

Varshni,Y.P.: 1981, Atrophys.Space Sci., 74, 3.

It is shown that the number of redshift systems based on C IV doublets, proposed by Boronson et al (1978) in the absorption spectrum of the quasar PKS 0237-23, is insignificantly different from that that would be expected from chance coincidences. Consequently, these systems and their z-values appear to be devoid of any physical significance.
