SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for comprehensive literature on galaxy clusters, dark matter, superclusters, and voids, specifically targeting undergraduate to advanced levels. The user mentions the "The Dark Matter and Cosmic Web Story" from the Scientific American Library but expresses concerns about its suitability for in-depth study due to its cost and potential historical focus. The emphasis is on finding resources that include equations and data rather than general overviews, particularly regarding the Sloan Great Wall supercluster and the cosmic web. The consensus indicates that current research is primarily found in academic journals rather than books.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of galaxy formation and structure
  • Familiarity with dark matter theories
  • Knowledge of cosmology and large-scale structures
  • Ability to interpret scientific literature and equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research academic journals focusing on galaxy clusters and voids
  • Explore advanced textbooks on cosmology and dark matter
  • Investigate resources on the Sloan Great Wall supercluster
  • Look for online courses or lectures on large-scale cosmic structures
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy students, astrophysicists, and researchers interested in the detailed study of galaxy clusters, dark matter, and cosmic structures.

good books on superclusters and voids??

I have been searching for a good undergraduate to advanced level book on galaxy clusters , dark matter , superclusters and voids and I have yet to find any.

I have found however the scientific American library book " the dark matter and cosmic web story" but I am hesitant to purchase it is expensive and I do not know if it is more of an historical book or a book for study.

I am looking for a good book that will give me the equations , data and necessary study on the subjects. Not just an overview of the subject for the lay person.

I was really looking for studies on the sloan great wall super cluster , voids , the cosmic web ( large scale structure ) just basically what the title of the thread states.

It's quite likely such a book does not exist. It takes time to write one, and these are all subjects of active study. Interested people are reading journals at this stage, not books.
