approx. 300 Mpc void of rich clusters of galaxies

The distribution of rich Abell clusters of galaxies reveals a large void of cataloged, nearby (D< or =4) rich clusters corresponding to the approximate redshift range z roughly-equal 0.03--0.08. This apparent void is approx.100/sup 0/ across the sky (approx.300 h/sup -1/ Mpc) and approx.150 h/sup -1/ Mpc deep. Its projected area is completely devoid of nearby--but not distant--rich clusters (R> or =1). It is also depleted in, but not completely devoid of, the lower density R = 0 clusters. The void does not appear to be caused by absorption in the Galaxy. If this apparent void in nearby rich clusters is real, it subtends a value of more than 10/sup 6/h/sup -3/ Mpc./sup 3/
