It has long been established but seldom noticed that we are in a region at least 170 Mpc across in which different types of galaxies show different degrees of alignment with the plane of the de Vaucouleurs Local Supercluster. While clusters of galaxies and radio galaxies at redshifts less than 0.02 are concentrated at low supergalactic latitudes, t...

... can be taken to suggest that the position of the peak at low SGB in the more distant sample, 0.04 < í µí± § < 0.08, likely is accidental. But arguing against this is the coincidence that the position of this peak agrees with the peaks in three of the four distributions of clusters at redshifts greater than í µí± § = 0.02 in Figure 2. Figure 4 shows a check that at 0.01 < í µí± § < 0.02 the low supergalactic latitudes of the positions of radio galaxies and clusters of galaxies are best described as clumpy distributions across the two dimensions projected on the plane of the Local Supercluster, and these objects are at much smaller distances from the plane in the third dimension compared to the breadth of the distribution. The four rows of histograms show distributions in sin SGB in each quadrant of supergalactic longitude SGL. ...

... already seen in the distributions summed over supergalactic latitude in Panel X-ray 12 in Figure 2 and Panel radio 12 in Figure 3, most of these objects are at low SGB. The point added in Figure 4 is that there are radio galaxies in comparable numbers in all four quadrants, and that while only one cluster is detected as an X-ray source in the first quadrant, and it is at high SGB, there are larger numbers of cluster X-ray sources in each of the other three histograms, and most are at low SGB. ...
Context 3
... conclude from Figure 4 that in a region around us that is 170 Mpc across the radio galaxies and clusters of galaxies are scattered around the plane of the Local Supercluster, and significantly closer to the plane than the size of this region. .

Recent multimessenger studies have provided evidence for high-energy neutrino sources that are opaque to GeV-TeV gamma-rays. We investigate the connection between high-energy neutrinos and gamma-rays in the active galaxy NGC 1068, and find that the neutrinos most likely come from regions within about 100 Schwarzschild radii. This is especially the...

It is natural to wonder how far the flat pattern in the distribution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies around the de Vaucoueurs Local Supercluster extends, and whether there are other similarly extended flat patterns in cosmic structure. I present evidence of two extended flat sheet-like patterns in the distributions of galaxies and clusters det...

We present a study of the environments of $17$ emitting galaxies (LAEs) in the reionisation era ($5.8 < z < 8$) identified by JWST /NIRSpec as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES). Unless situated in sufficiently (re)ionised regions emission from these galaxies would be strongly absorbed by neutral gas in the intergalactic me...
