Pavo-Indus Supercluster


The Pavo-Indus Supercluster is a neighboring supercluster located about away in the constellations of Pavo, Indus, and Telescopium. The supercluster contains three main clusters, Abell 3656, Abell 3698, and Abell 3742.
Other groups and clusters in the supercluster include the NGC 6769 Group and Abell S805 and the massive Norma Cluster.
In 2014 it was announced that the Pavo-Indus Supercluster is a lobe in a greater supercluster, Laniakea, that is centered on the Great Attractor. The Virgo Supercluster would also be part of this greater supercluster, thus becoming the local supercluster.

Structure

The Pavo-Indus Supercluster exhibits a wall or filamentary structure that extends to a total length of.

Perseus-Pisces Supercluster

Di Nel la H. et al found no evidence of a connection between Pavo-Indus and the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster. However, Pomarède et al. revealed the existence of a filamentary extension of the Pavo-Indus Supercluster known as the Arch that caps the Local Void in the supergalactic north and provides a connection to the Perseus-Pisces Supercluster before terminating close to the NGC 7242 Cluster.
