Structure and formation of superclusters -X. Fractal properties of superclusters.
Abstract
The effective dimension, D, of complete samples of galaxies in the Virgo supercluster and in a region between the Virgo and Coma superclusters has been derived. In the intersupercluster region the effective dimension is ~1.3, and for the Virgo supercluster itself we find, dimension of 1.9.
