Abstract

The present state of the compilation of the Metacatalogue of galaxies is described by Kalinkov et al. (1981). The preparation of the catalogue originated from the necessity to put on magnetic tape Zwicky’s catalogue in order to study the distribution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. Enlarging the Metacatalogue by joining to it other catalogues, some interesting results for the large scale structure in the Universe have been obtained. New methods for efficient data processing have been developed for smoothing and filtering of discrete fields, for computing the two-cell correlation function and its matrix representation to test homogeneity and isotropy, and so on (Kalinkov, 1974, 1976, 1977).
