Abstract

The high number of QSOs around NGC 6212 allows a correlation analysis to be carried out between their redshift distribution and the redshift distributions predicted by intrinsic redshift models. We find no correlation between the QSO redshift distribution and the intrinsic redshifts predicted by Karlsson's log(1+z) = 0.089 relation. However, we find that the QSO redshift distribution is correlated with the intrinsic redshifts predicted by the relation z_iQ = 0.62[N-0.1M_N], for N = 3. We also find evidence that the observed redshifts of the QSOs contain a small cosmological redshift component similar to that of NGC 6212. The same correlation analysis carried out on the distribution of 574 quasar redshifts discussed by Karlsson also gave a negative result for the log(1+z)= 0.089 relation, and a positive result for the z_iQ intrinsic redshifts.
