Abstract:
A search for preferential galaxy alignments in the Pisces-Perseus
Supercluster (PPS) is made using the Minnesota Automated Plate Scanner
Pisces-Perseus Survey (MAPS-PP). The MAPS-PP is a catalog of
1400 galaxies with a (roughly) isophotal diameter greater than 30"
constructed from digitized scans of the blue and red plates of the
Palomar Observatory Sky Survey covering the PPS. This is the largest
sample of galaxies applied to a search of galaxy alignments in this
supercluster, and it has been used in combination with previously
published redshifts to construct the deepest PPS galaxy luminosity
function to date.
While previous studies have relied extensively on catalogs with
visually estimated parameters for both sample selection and
determination of galaxy orientation, the MAPS-PP uses selection
criteria and measurements that are entirely machine and computer
based. Therefore, it is not susceptible to some of the biases, such as
the diameter inclination effect, known to exist in some other galaxy
catalogs. The presence of anisotropic galaxy distributions is
determined by use of the Kuiper statistic, a robust alternative to the
chi^2 statistic more traditionally used in these studies.
