Infall of Galaxies into the Virgo Cluster
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 August 2017
Extract
There are a subtantial number of galaxies in the Virgo southern extention just beyond the Virgo Cluster which are blueshifted with respect to the cluster and a lesser number of galaxies slightly nearer than the Virgo Cluster which are redshifted with respect to the cluster. These galaxies must be falling into the cluster. We are able to model the observed infall motions by following the collapse of spherical shells with the Friedmann equations in a closed universe. A family of mass-age solutions provide satisfactory fits to the observations.
