Depto. de Astronomía (UGto) Astronomía Extragaláctica y Cosmología Observacional Lecture 3 Distribution of Galaxies • The Local Universe • the Milky-Way system • the Andromeda system • the Local Group of Galaxies • the Local Supercluster • the nearby superclusters
The Local Universe: Distribution of Galaxies • Small scale: • Galaxies are not distributed at random • Concentrations of galaxies may be groups, clusters, superclusters or filaments • Regions with the lowest densities of galaxies are called voids Distribution of 14650 galaxies of the catalogs UGC, ESO and MCG http://www.eso.org/~mhilker/Gallery/gallery_lect.html
