The Size of the Longest Filaments in the Universe
Somnath Bharadwaj, Suketu Bhavsar, Jatush V. Sheth
We analyze the filamentarity in the Las Campanas redshift survey (LCRS) and determine the length scale at which filaments are statistically significant. The largest length-scale at…
Models for the Magnitude-Distribution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
J. P. Bernstein, Suketu P. Bhavsar
The brightest, or first-ranked, galaxies (BCGs) in rich clusters show a very small dispersion in luminosity, making them excellent standard candles. This small dispersion has raise…
A catalog of Nearby Poor Clusters of Galaxies
R. A. White, M. Bliton, S. P. Bhavsar +4
A catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of declination is presented. The poor clusters, called WBL clus…
The Superiority of the Minimal Spanning Tree in Percolation Analyses of Cosmological Datasets
S. P. Bhavsar, R. J. Splinter
In this work we demonstrate the ability of the Minimal Spanning Tree to duplicate the information contained within a percolation analysis for a point dataset. We show how to constr…
