Using supercluster geometry as a cosmological probe
S. Basilakos, V. Kolokotronis, M. Plionis
Abstract
We study the properties of superclusters detected in the Abell/ACO cluster catalogue. We identify the superclusters utilizing the `friend-of-friend' procedure, and then determine supercluster shapes by using the differential geometry approach. We find that the dominant supercluster morphological feature is filamentariness. We compare our Abell/ACO supercluster results with the corresponding ones generated from two different CDM cosmological models in order to investigate statistically which of the latter models best reproduces the observational results.
