Abstract

Recently finished redshift surveys make it possible to study the large-scale environment of superclusters and their mutual relationship.Figure 1 shows the distribution of nearby clusters in the sky in supergalactic coordinates at two redshift intervals. Nearby clusters in the distance interval 75 to 150 Mpc form a belt around us which is close to the supergalactic equator; its inclination is only 20°. The following superclusters belong to this belt: Ursa Major-Lynx (Giovanelli and Haynes 1982), Coma, Hydra-Centaurus, Pavo-Corona Australes, and Perseus-Pisces. Coordinates and redshifts for a number of previously unknown southern clusters have been derived by Dr. H. Corwin and Dr. M. Tarenghi (Einasto et al. 1982).
