Abstract
In this article we present a historical review of study of the redshift periodicity of galaxies, starting from the first works performed in the 1970s until the present day. We discuss the observational data and methods used, showing in which cases the discretization of redshifts was observed. We conclude that galaxy redshift periodization is an effect which can really exist. We also discussed the redshift discretization in two different structures: the Local Group of galaxies and the Hercules Supercluster. Contrary to the previous studies, we consider all galaxies which can be regarded as a structure member disregarding the accuracy of velocity measurements. We applied the power spectrum analysis using the Hann function for weighting, together with the jack-knife error estimator. In both structures we found weak effects of redshift periodization.
