Template documentation

Infobox for articles on superclusters of galaxies. Intended for the creation of new supercluster pages and for updating older pages with outdated infoboxes.

Usage

{{Infobox supercluster | name = | image = | caption = | credit = | epoch = | constellation = | ra = {{RA|00|00}} | dec = {{DEC|±00|00}} | brightest_member = | member_no = | major_axis_mpc = {{convert|000|Mpc|Mly|0|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.00}} | minor_axis_mpc = {{convert|000|Mpc|Mly|0|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.00}} | redshift = | distance = {{convert|000|Mpc|Mly|0|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.00}} | mass = 0{{e|14}} {{hub|0.00}} {{solar mass|link=y}} | luminosity = | flux = | other_names = }}

Parameters

name

<Name of the object> Supercluster, i.e. Shapley Supercluster

image

Associated image of the object: [[Image:name.png|400px]]

caption

Text underneath the image.

credit

To whom do we owe this great pleasure?

epoch

Equatorial coordinates based on which epoch? If other than J2000, please find or convert to J2000.

constellation

Wikilink(s) to constellation(s).

ra

{{RA|00|00}}

dec

{{DEC|±00|00}}

brightest_member

The brightest cluster.

member_no

The number of galaxy clusters belonging to the supercluster.

major_axis_mpc

The major axis of the supercluster in h−1
, h−1
0.70, h−1
0.75, etc., megaparsecs. See distance section.

minor_axis_mpc

The minor axis of the supercluster in h−1
, h−1
0.70, h−1
0.75, etc., megaparsecs. See distance section.

redshift

• z, if ≳ 0.2 : 0.8
• z (km/s), if ≲ 0.2 : 0.0717 (21 500 km/s)

distance

NED's default value for the dimensionless Hubble parameter is 0.73 using the WMAP 3-year results, but one is able to change this to match the WMAP 5-year results with h=0.705.

• If measurement is left in 'units' of h: {{hub|}} gives h−1
  
• If h=0.73 is used: {{hub|0.73}} gives h−1
  0.73
• {{convert|100|Mpc|Mly|2|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.73}} gives 100 Mpc (326.16 Mly) h−1
  0.73
• {{convert|100|+/-|20|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.73}} gives 100 ± 20 Mpc (330 ± 65 Mly) h−1
  0.73
• Use Gpc as appropriate and/or feel free to leave off the light-year conversion if it becomes unwieldy. Parsecs are less ambiguous and are preferred over light-years, especially at cosmological scales.

mass

• 1.4{{e|14}} {{hub|0.70}} {{solar mass|link=y}} gives 1.4×10¹⁴h−1
  0.70 M_☉

luminosity

Make sure to specify the passband:

• X-ray luminosity is usually given in erg s^-1 for some keV range.
  • 1.4{{e|14}} [[erg]] s<sup>-1</sup> (0.1—2.4 [[electron volt|keV]]) gives 1.4×10¹⁴erg s^-1 (0.1—2.4 keV)
• Visible or bolometric luminosity is usually given in L_☉.
  • 1.4{{e|14}} {{hub|0.70}} {{solar luminosity|link=y}} gives 1.4×10¹⁴h−1
    0.70 L_☉

flux

If available, use alternatively to luminosity. Make sure to specify the passband.

• X-ray flux, usually given in erg s^-1 cm^-2 for some keV range.
  • (1.4 ± 0.2){{e|-11}} [[erg]] s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> (0.1—2.4 [[electron volt|keV]]) gives (1.4 ± 0.2)×10⁻¹¹erg s^-1 cm^-2 (0.1—2.4 keV)

other_names

Please don't list all the cross-identifications in NED for each object.
