  2. Wow 98,000 peculiar velocities

    The DESI DR1 Peculiar Velocity Survey: Fundamental Plane Catalogue
    by C.E. Ross and co-authors
    arxiv.org/abs/2512.03226

    For comparison: the Great Attractor was discovered with 400 PVs, Laniakea with 8000 PVs, South Pole Wall with 18,000 PVs

  3. #OTD 2020, publication of the discovery of the South Pole Wall. This 1.4 billion light-years wide filament was detected through the gravitational influence it exerts on nearby galaxies, for which we measured distance and velocity.

  4. Pleased to give a talk (online) to the Cosmology group at Observatório Nacional in Rio de Janeiro. After a short historical intro - discussing the role of pioneers such as Vera Rubin and Gérard de Vaucouleurs - I will present the discoveries of our Cosmicflows research program.

  6. A comparison of the extent of the South Pole Wall with two other nearby structures: the CfA Great Wall (bottom left) and the Sloan Great Wall (top left). The South Pole Wall (right) is represented by isodensity contour levels.

    This is Figure 3 from doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ab99

  8. This Massive Wall of Galaxies Is Lurking Beyond the Milky Way

    Cosmographers’ goal is to map out the observable universe, and from their findings we can not only learn more about the structures that make up everything we can see, we also gain insight into the things we cannot see!

  9. Astronomers discover South Pole Wall, a gigantic structure stretching 1.4 billion light-years across

    Check out this paper by Adam Mann for LiveScience, on this recent discovery in the field of cosmography, which is "the cartography of the cosmos": livescience.com/south-pole-wal

  10. @JSPailly Hello J.S. thank you so much for your interest! Yes that's fascinating I feel so lucky to work on this stuff. If you want to read more posts on this just follow the #southpolewall hashtag ;0) Cheers, Daniel

  11. Beyond the Milky Way, a Galactic Wall

    Dennis Overbye, Cosmic Affairs Correspondent at the New York Times, tells the story of how astronomers have discovered the South Pole Wall, a vast assemblage of galaxies hidden behind our own, in the Zone of Avoidance.

  12. The South Pole Wall

    This 1.4 billion light-years wide filament of the Cosmic Web was detected through the gravitational influence it exerts on nearby galaxies, for which we measured distance and velocity

  13. The South Pole Wall is one of the largest structure of the Universe. Hidden behind the dusty disk of our own galaxy, in the so called Zone of Galactic Obscuration, in the direction of the celestial south, it was discovered by our research program, by analyzing the influence it exerts on the velocity of nearby galaxies.

    In this video youtu.be/3wEW_DiC80E, Dr. Maggie Lieu reports on this discovery, and explains why things like these are important!
