The Extended Plane of the Local Supercluster
TLDR
This paper updates evidence showing luminous galaxies, radio galaxies, and clusters correlate with the Local Supercluster plane up to 400Mpc.
Key contributions
- Updated evidence shows radio galaxies and clusters correlate with the Local Supercluster plane.
- Found correlation for 2-micron luminous galaxies within 100-200Mpc of the Supercluster plane.
- Argues for similar correlation in 2-micron luminous galaxies at 400Mpc distance.
- Questions whether these observed cosmic structures align with standard cosmological models.
Why it matters
This paper strengthens evidence for the Extended Plane of the Local Supercluster, a significant cosmic structure. It reveals unexpected correlations of luminous objects at vast distances, challenging standard cosmology and prompting new insights into large-scale structure.
Original Abstract
An update of the evidence that radio galaxies and clusters of galaxies are more common than average near the plane of the de Vaucouleurs Local Supercluster shows that in the distance range 100 to 200Mpc objects whose positions are correlated with the plane of the Local Supercluster include galaxies that are exceptionally luminous at two microns, radio galaxies, and clusters of galaxies. There can be little doubt about this property of cosmic structure. I also argue for detection of this correlation for the galaxies at 400Mpc distance that are exceptionally luminous at two microns. It will be interesting to learn whether these results are expected in the standard cosmology.
