QUASAR 0237-233: CHANCE COINCIDENCES AND THE ALLEGED CO REDSHIFT SYSTEM

Varshni,Y.P.: 1983, Sov.Astron.Lett., 9, 368.

It is shown that the number of redshifted CO absorption-line systems that are found in the spectrum of the quasar PKS 0237-233, using the rules of Varshalovich and Levshakov, is insignificantly different from that which would be expected from chance coincidences. Consequently, the CO systems proposed by Varshalovich and Levshakov have no physical reality'
