The Perseus–Pisces Supercluster is one of two dominant concentrations of galaxies (the other being the Local supercluster) in the nearby universe (within 300 million light years). This supercluster also borders a prominent void, the Taurus Void, and is part of the Perseus–Pegasus Filament which stretches for roughly a billion light years. [1]
Perseus–Pegasus Filament (1985) 1,000,000,000: This galaxy filament contains the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster. Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex (1987) 1,000,000,000: Contains the Milky Way, and is the first galaxy filament to be discovered. (The first LQG was found earlier in 1982.) A new report in 2014 confirms the Milky Way as a member ...
The Perseus cluster (Abell 426) is a cluster of galaxies in the constellation Perseus. It has a recession speed of 5,366 km/ s and a diameter of 863 ′ . [ 1 ] It is one of the most massive objects in the known universe , containing thousands of galaxies immersed in a vast cloud of multimillion-degree gas.
It consisted of two known rich clusters and one newly discovered cluster as a result of the study that discovered it. The then known clusters were Cl 1604+4304 (z=0.897) and Cl 1604+4321 (z=0.924), which then known to have 21 and 42 known galaxies respectively. The then newly discovered cluster was located at 16 h 04 m 25.7 s, +43° 14′ 44.7 ...
The Perseus–Pegasus Filament is a galaxy filament containing the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster and stretching for roughly a billion light-years (or over 300/h Mpc). Currently, it is considered to be one of the largest known structures in the universe. [note 1] This filament is adjacent to the Pisces–Cetus Supercluster Complex.
Abell 262 is a galaxy cluster in the Abell catalogue. It is part of the Perseus–Pisces Supercluster , one of the largest known structures in the universe. [ 4 ] Although its central galaxy, NGC 708 , is a giant cD galaxy , most of its bright galaxies are spirals , which is unusual for a galaxy cluster. [ 4 ]
NGC 1260 is a spiral or lenticular galaxy [3] located 250 million light years away from earth in the constellation Perseus. [4] It was discovered by astronomer Guillaume Bigourdan on 19 October 1884. [5] NGC 1260 is a member of the Perseus Cluster [6] [3] and forms a tight pair with the galaxy PGC 12230. [3]
