The Large Scale Distribution of Galaxies in the Shapley Supercluster
We present new results of our wide-field redshift survey of galaxies in a 182 square degree region of the Shapley Supercluster (SSC) based on observations with the FLAIRII spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST). In this paper we present new measurements to give a total sample of redshifts for 710 bright (R ≤ 16.6) galaxies, of which 464 are members of the SSC (8000 < v < 18000kms ). Ou...
متن کاملShapley Optical Survey . I : Luminosity Functions in the Supercluster Environment ⋆
We present the Shapley Optical Survey, a photometric study covering a ∼ 2 deg2 region of the Shapley Supercluster core at z∼0.05 in two bands (B and R). The galaxy sample is complete to B = 22.5 (>M+6, Ngal = 16 588), and R = 22.0 (>M+7, Ngal = 28 008). The galaxy luminosity function cannot be described by a single Schechter function due to dips apparent at B ∼ 17.5 (MB ∼ 19.3) and R ∼ 17.0 (MR...
متن کاملProbing the Distribution of Dark Matter in the Abell 901/902 Supercluster with Weak Lensing
We present a weak shear analysis of the Abell 901/902 supercluster, composed of three rich clusters at z = 0.16. Using a deep R-band image from the 0.5 × 0.5 MPG/ESO Wide Field Imager together with supplementary Bband observations, we build up a comprehensive picture of the light and mass distributions in this region. We find that, on average, the light from the early-type galaxies traces the d...
متن کاملThe Density Contrast of the Shapley Supercluster
We calculate the density contrast of the Shapley Supercluster (SSC) based on the enhanced abundance of X-ray clusters in it, using the extended Press-Schechter formalism. We derive a total SSC mass of Mtot = (3.5 ± 0.35) × 10 16 M⊙ within a sphere of 50 Mpc centered at a distance of about 160 Mpc. The nonlinear fractional density contrast of the sphere is (1 + δ) = 1.39 ± 0.13 relative to the m...
متن کاملOn the mass distribution in the Shapley Supercluster inferred from X-ray observations
We present an analysis of a mosaic of ROSAT PSPC and Einstein Observatory IPC X–ray observations of 14 clusters and 2 groups of galaxies, enclosed in a sky area 15 × 20 centred on A3558 within the Shapley Supercluster region. From the mass of each cluster, extrapolated to a density contrast of 500, we define 4 large structures: (1) the core of the Shapley Supercluster with radius 13 h 50 Mpc; (...
