The Axis of Opportunity: The Large-Scale Correlation of Elliptical Galaxies

Astrophysics 2007-09-04 v2

Abstract

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to the discovery of a serious bias resulting from the systematic dimming of galaxies with larger ellipticities away from the North Galactic Pole. Thus the conclusion that there is a special axis along which the elliptical galaxies tend to be aligned is incorrect.
