Description
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.
