Scientific paper

An analysis of the spatial orientation of 118 galaxies in the main ridge of the Perseus supercluster reveals that the rotation axes of the galaxies tend to be aligned with the supercluster plane. The distribution of galaxy planes is found to be weakly anisotropic. It is noted that the projections of the rotation axes of the galaxies in the supercluster plane tend to avoid the directions on either side of the main concentration of galaxies in the supercluster.
