Scientific paper

A program of redshift measurements was carried out in a region of the sky in which a relative under-density of Abell clusters had been used to infer the presence of a large (diameter about 40/h Mpc) void in the general galaxy distribution. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the large-scale distribution of galaxies is traced by the distribution of rich clusters. Redshifts are presented for 308 galaxies in the Zwicky Catalog in a 234 square degree region centered on R.A. about 2h, Decl. about 12 deg of which 229 have been newly measured. These data reveal a pattern of filamentary structure alternating with voids of characteristic diameter about 25-30/h Mpc, throughout the volume sampled. While the redshift data reveal an underdensity in the distribution of galaxies in the general region suggested by the Abell cluster distribution, they do not support the existence there of a 40/h Mpc diameter void.
