Einasto Supercluster: the new heavyweight contender in the universe

An international team of scientists led by astronomers from Observatory in has discovered many in the , with the most prominent among them named the ‘Einasto Supercluster’ in honour of Prof. Jaan Einasto, a pioneering figure in the field, who will celebrate his 95th on 23 February.

Happy birthday Dr Supercluster!

"Regardless, the beauty of the local universe of galaxies is evident in the image where several huge superclusters of galaxies - clusters of galaxy clusters - can also be seen."

Discovery alert!

A spherical shell-like structure 1 billion light-years in diameter named Ho’oleilana is discovered in the distribution of relatively nearby galaxies. We posit this is the 1st observation of an individual Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO).

An artist's view of Ho'oleilana. The three-dimensional shell enclosed by the Baryon Acoustic Oscillation is colorized in reddish/orange/brown color and enhanced to capture its content in terms of galaxies and to expose how it is encapsulated in the larger structure of the Cosmic Web. Galaxies are shown as luminous tiny specks. The Cosmic Web is represented as the blueish filamentary maze. This view also exposes the other structures discovered by the Cosmicflows research program: Laniakea our Home supercluster of galaxies; the South Pole Wall, a giant filament of the cosmic web that embraces the sourthernmost frontiers of Laniakea; the Dipole Repeller and the Cold Spot Repeller, two underdense regions presumably associated to two giant cosmic voids.

A study of the distributions of the shape, topology, and morphology of the superclusters extracted from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 (SDSS DR12) main galaxy sample, by Satadru Bag, Lauri Juhan Liivamägi, and Maret Einasto.

The surfaces and galaxy content of three superclusters shown in 3D. A small supercluster (left panel) has quite a spherical shape. A moderately large supercluster in the middle panel is quite elongated. The largest supercluster (right panel) is extremely galaxy rich and visually quite filamentary. (taken from Figure 5)
