The aim of this review article is to give a comprehensive description of the scaling properties
detected for the distribution of cosmic structures, like galaxies and galaxy clusters. I will also …

The authors propose a new covariant and gauge-invariant (GI) treatment of perturbations in
a Robertson-Walker universe dominated by a classical scalar field phi. They first set up the …

We aim to settle the debate regarding the fraction of the Local Group's peculiar velocity that
is induced by structures beyond the Great Attractor by calculating the dipole anisotropy of …

We present the latest results of the Clusters in the Zone of Avoidance (CIZA) survey, which is
mapping large-scale structures behind the Milky Way by performing the first systematic …

Contrary to popular belief, there is as yet no convincing evidence that the Universe has a
density near the critical value required for closure. Indeed, a low-density Universe is …

This controversial book examines one of the most fundamental questions of modern
cosmology: how much matter is there in the Universe? This issue affects theories of the …

We determine the Minkowski functionals for a sample of Abell/ACO clusters, 401 with
measured and 16 with estimated redshifts. The four Minkowski functionals (including the …

The union of Abell and Abell-Corwin-Olowin samples of rich clusters provides a view of the
universe up to z~ 0, 1 and within this domain there are two outstanding concentrations of …
