Interpretation of the galaxy structure surrounding the Local Supercluster

Abstract

After numerical simulations by E. Praton, we interprete the cocoon-like structure observed for the distribution of galaxies around us as an effect of infall velocities onto clusters. In this view structures like the Cocoon (or even like the Great-Wall) could be interpreted as observationnal artefacts.
