40/h Mpc diameter void in Pisces-Cetus
Journal Article

· Astrophys. J.; (United States)
Evidence is presented for the existence of a large region of space in Pisces-Cetus that is empty of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The volume of this roughly spherical, 40/h Mpc diameter void is comparable to the largest empty region (free of emission-line galaxies) in the recently completed study of the Bootes void. It is argued that the observed distributions of galaxies and clusters within the Pisces-Cetus void region are unlike that expected for a uniform distribution taking into consideration observational sampling. 38 references.
