Abstract

We present an analysis of the ellipticities of galaxy groups, derived from the spatial distribution of member galaxies, revealing a notable incongruity between the observed local galaxy groups and their counterparts in the Lambda cold dark matter cosmology. Specifically, our investigation reveals a substantial disparity in the ellipticities of observed groups with masses 1013.0
星系群椭圆度证实宇宙更年轻
我们对星系团的椭圆度进行了分析,分析结果来自成员星系的空间分布,揭示了观测到的本地星系团与它们在Lambda冷暗物质宇宙学中的对应星系团之间存在着明显的不一致性。具体地说,我们的研究发现,观测到的质量为1013.0
