Descripción
Redshift observations of 30 clusters in the direction of the Sextans-Leo supercluster candidate are reported. The observations are part of a program which involves mapping the universe's large-scale structure, and include North Galactic Cap Abell clusters, Abell clusters that have only been partially observed, and unmeasured poor Zwicky clusters. Three large superclusters are identified in the region which surround an apparent void that is open on one side towards the galaxy void in Bootes. The minimum dimensions of the void are given, and one of the superclusters is identified based on it resemblance to Coma/A1367. The emptiness of the Bootes void and the void of Bahcall and Soneira (1982) are redefined by the positions determined for five clusters observed in other portions of the northern cap. Additionally, some galaxies appear to be within the bounds of the Sextans-Leo void.
