Locating bound structure in an accelerating universe
@article{Pearson2013LocatingBS, title={Locating bound structure in an accelerating universe}, author={David W. Pearson and David J. Batuski}, journal={Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society}, year={2013}, volume={436}, pages={796-806} }
Given the overwhelming evidence that the universe is currently undergoing an accelerated expansion, the question of what are the largest gravitationally bound structures remains. A couple of groups, Busha et al. 2003 (B03) and Dunner et al. 2006 (D06), have attempted to analytically define these limits, arriving at substantially different estimates due to differences in their assumptions about the velocities at the present epoch. In an effort to locate the largest bound structures in the…
