"Galaxy distribution" refers to the way galaxies are spread out across the universe. It focuses on studying and understanding how galaxies are arranged, their patterns, and clustering.
Full definition
The research team provides a new window on galaxy evolution by comparing the three -
dimensional galaxy distribution mapped with a redshift survey including star - forming galaxies to a weak lensing map based on Subaru imaging.
«Even if the ring is real, it's not at all clear that it also is not seen in
the galaxy distribution,» he says.
Ebeling says Ma's comparisons of the temperature peaks of the gas and
the galaxy distributions enabled the team to deduce the directions of motion of the clusters.
The MAMMOTH - 1 nebula appears to have a filamentary structure that aligns with
the galaxy distribution in the large - scale structure of the protocluster, supporting the idea that ELANs are illuminated segments of the cosmic web, Cai said.
The LCRS was the first extensive redshift survey deep enough to convincingly show that
the galaxy distribution becomes homogeneous on sufficiently large scales.
