U1.11

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Large quasar group in the constellation Virgo

U1.11 is alarge quasar group located in theconstellations ofLeo andVirgo. It is one of thelargest LQG's known, with the estimated maximum diameter of 780Mpc (2.2 billionlight-years)[1] and contains 38quasars. It was discovered in 2011 during the course of theSloan Digital Sky Survey. Until the discovery of theHuge-LQG in November 2012, it was the largest known structure in the universe, beatingClowes–Campusano LQG's 20-year record as largest known structure at the time of its discovery.

Characteristics

[edit]

The structure is located approximately 2° away from the Clowes-Campusano LQG (CCLQG).[1] It is atredshift z = 1.11,[clarification needed] hence its name, corresponding to a distance of approximately 8.8 billion light years away.[1] It is adjacent to the CCLQG, and is relatively close to U1.54, another LQG.[1] It is composed of 38 quasars,[1] and may suggest the evolution of a large galaxy filament.

Cosmological principle

[edit]

According to thecosmological principle, the random distribution ofmatter andenergy within the different parts of the universe must be approximately homogeneous and isotropic, and that random overdensities of these objects must be small if projected on a large enough scale. Yadavet al projected that the maximum structural sizes was somewhere around 260h/Mpc,[2] while others gave values of 70-130 h/Mpc.[3][4][5] More recent calculations suggest values within 370 Mpc. However, U1.11 was twice as large as the presiding scale, and other structures are found that were larger than the said scale. (Some structures exceed the scale by a factor of 8, such asHercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall.) Given also its proximity to the Huge-LQG, CCLQG and U1.54,[1] it will be a big contradiction to the modern cosmological model.
