List of galaxy clusters

List of galaxy clusters

This page lists some of the more interesting galaxy clusters and groups.

Defining the limits of galaxy clusters is imprecise as many clusters are still forming. In particular, clusters close to the Milky Way tend to be classified as galaxy clusters even when they are much smaller than more distant clusters.

List of groups and clusters

Firsts

* In 2002, a very large, very rich proto-cluster, or the most distant proto-supercluster was found in the field of galaxy cluster MS 1512+36, around the gravitationally lensed galaxy MS 1512-cB58, at z=2.724 [ ESO Press Release 03/02 ; [http://www.eso.org/public/outreach/press-rel/pr-2002/pr-03-02.html UVES Investigates the Environment of a Very Remote Galaxy] ; 11 March 2002 ]

False clusters

Through researching of galaxy association, sometimes clusters are put forward that are not genuine clusters or superclusters, but rather random collections of groups that chance alignment makes it seem is a cluster.
