Anisotropic redshift distribution for compact galaxies with absorption spectra

Nature volume 256, pages 24–25 (1975)Cite this article

Abstract

RUBIN et al.1 have found that in one hemisphere of the sky ScI galaxies with 14.0 ⩽ m ⩽ 15.0 have a mean velocity 1,365 ± 200 km s−1 larger than in the other hemisphere. Anisotropies, corresponding to this, have also been found for brightest cluster galaxies, supernovae (T.J., G. Le Denmat, M.M., J. C. Pecker and J.P.V., unpublished and ref. 2), and Markarian galaxies (H.K. and M.M., unpublished). Here we present a similar result for absorption line compact galaxies.
