3. Question: What is the statistical significance of the examples being cited?
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), immediately introduced millions of objects to the field of study. Amongst them were more than 40 000 positively
identified quasars. The two deep field surveys are also invaluable sources of redshift data. The 2dF
Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) lists~250 000 galaxies, and the 2dF Quasar Redshift
Survey (2QZ) examines ~25 000 quasars.

4. What are anomalous redshifts?
Anomalous redshifts are defined as quantities significantly at variance with the Hubble Law.
To assess whether an apparent system is or is not anomalous, we would look for “properties of
nearness, alignment, disturbances, connections.”(Arp, Burbidge, & Burbidge 2004)

19. Redshift survey of local galaxies
• Tully-Fisher Relationship (TFR)
•Intrinsic redshifts in normal spiral galaxies
•Redshift deficits by type
•Adopting a strict velocity interpretation of galaxy redshifts
requires that as a group the giant Sb galaxies are approaching
the Milky Way with a mean velocity of -898 km s-1 while the
giant ScI galaxies are receding from the Milky Way with a
mean velocity of +824 km s-1.

22. Geoffrey Burbidge in the documentary programme Universe – the Cosmology Quest 2000
• “If you see two objects close together with very different redshifts, you only have one of two explanations. One is that a large part of the redshift has nothing to do with distance. The other is that it’s an accident. So the real issue…is how frequently do you expect to see accidents?”

• Ejection from AGN
• Cosmological Principle
• How do we incorporate anomalous results?
