Groups of galaxies. I - Nearby groups

Huchra, J. P., Geller, M. J.·1982·The Astrophysical Journal

Abstract

Generalized techniques for determining density enhancements in redshift space are presented, and one of these techniques is used to examine the effects of varying selection criteria on the dynamical parameters defined for groups of galaxies. There is a broad range of selection parameters which yields well defined and well behaved groups. A whole sky catalog of nearby groups with outer number density enhancement exceeding 20 is presented; the median M/L for these groups is approximately 170, corresponding to a cosmological density Omega = 0.1. A two-dimensional projection of several contours near the Virgo cluster is examined, and the clustering is found to exhibit both concentric and hierarchical structure.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
