Rich Superclusters within 2 Gly (Chow-Martinez et al 2014)
Rich superclusters (number of cluster members 7 or greater), and named superclusters from the Main SuperCluster Catalogue (MSCC), published in "Two new catalogues of superclusters of Abell/ACO galaxy clusters out to redshift 0.15," Chow-Martinez M., Andernach H., Caretta C.A. and Trejo-Alonso J.J., MNRAS 445, 4073–4085 (2014). The number is the MSCC catalog number. Abbreviations in the names: SGW = Sloan Great Wall, (FEW) = Front Eastern Wall, (c) = Central, (e) = in Einasto et al 2001, (p) = portion of, (n) = Northern, (s) = Southern. Named superclusters include the named superclusters corresponding to referenced SCL catalog numbers in "Optical And X-Ray Clusters As Tracers Of The Supercluster-Void Network. I Superclusters Of Abell And X-Ray Clusters," Einasto M., Einasto J., Tago E., Muller V., Andernach H., 2001, AJ, 122, 2222. The base grid lies 1,574 million light years (Mly) below the actual supergalactic plane (visible initially as the nearly edge on grid above the base grid). The axis in the grid labeled "To Virgo Cluster" points in the direction of the Sun towards the Virgo Cluster. Note however that in this view, the axis is extending well past the Virgo Cluster itself (the Virgo Cluster is the dominant galaxy cluster in our Local Supercluster).
