14 Sep 2000 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | A blind HI survey using the Parkes telescope at |b|<5 deg, 300 deg < l < 332 deg has so far revealed 305 galaxies, most of which were previously unknown. These galaxies are used to map out the distribution of filaments and voids out to 10000 km/s. A preliminary measurement of the galaxy overdensity suggests only a moderate overdensity is present, and that the excess mass (above the background density) is ~2.10^{15}.Omega.M(sun). This is below the mass predicted in POTENT reconstructions of the local velocity field, and implies that the `Great Attractor’ (GA) is not as massive as these reconstructions indicate, or does not lie hidden in the region investigated. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0009223 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
