The density and peculiar velocity fields of nearby galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the quantitative science that can be and has been done with redshift and peculiar velocity surveys of galaxies in the nearby universe, and discuss in some detail the various quantitative cosmological tests that can also be carried out with the redshift data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Giant voids in the Universe

TL;DR: Theories of galaxy formation predict the formation of non-spherical superclusters and giant voids as mentioned in this paper, and large-scale structure changes very slowly, so the currently observed structure reflects the whole history of galaxies formation and structural evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large scale structure

TL;DR: In this article, a review of catalogues of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and superclusters is given, and the power spectrum of density perturbations and correlation functions are discussed.

A cosmic watershed: the WVF void detection technique

TL;DR: The watershed void finder (WVF) as mentioned in this paper is based upon the watershed transform, a well-known technique for the segmentation of images, which has the potential to trace the existing manifestations of a void hierarchy.

Voids in the Point Source Catalogue Survey and the Updated Zwicky Catalog

TL;DR: In this paper, a void finder algorithm based on the El-Ad & Piran algorithm was proposed to detect voids in galaxy redshift surveys, which can recover up to 40% of the volume of the universe.
