Universe:  Density and Velocity on 100 Mpc scales

  

Dekel et al. 1996

 

 Valentine, Saunders, Taylor, 2000

 

 

Local Supercluster:

-

Virgo cluster:  18Mpc away,  1014 Msun, velocity dispersion of 700km/s

-

Groups           of galaxies: about 1/2 of galaxies are in groups

-

Filaments     

-

Plane:             2 Mpc thick

-

Velocities:       250 km/s infall velocity of the Local Group,

                           "cold flow": 50-60km/s for 5Mpc No blueshifts
- Local Group:    Mass: (0.3-1)1013Msun Radius=1.5Mpc (turn-around).
 

                               Small overdensity (0.25?) for 5Mpc sphere
