We present a study of spin vector orientation of 1218 SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) galaxies in Supercluster S [227+006+0078] having redshift 0.07 to 0.09. The database of these galaxies is taken from SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) 7th and 9th data release. We have converted two dimensional data to three dimensional by Godlowskian Transformation using position angle-inclination angle method. We intend to find non-random effects in the spatial orientation of galaxies in the Supercluster. No preferred alignment of angular momentum vectors is noticed, supporting Hierarchy model of galaxy formation.

We present a study of spin vector orientation of 1331 SDSS (Sloan Digital Sky Survey) galaxies in SDSS Supercluster S[202-001+0084] having redshift 0.02 to 0.03. The data are provided by our collaborator, Institute of Astro-particle Physics, Innsbruck University, Austria. We have converted two dimensional data to three dimensional by Godlowskian Transformation. Our aim is to find out non-random effects in the preferred alignments of angular momentum vectors of galaxies. In general, no preferred alignments angular momentum vectors of galaxies are noticed, supporting Hierarchy model of galaxy formation. In almost all sub samples the 1st order Fourier coefficient suggests that the angular momentum vectors are randomly oriented but other statistical tests suggest anisotropic distribution probably due to the binning effect and gravitational shearing effect.
We present an analysis of spatial orientations of 1331 galaxies in the supercluster S [247+040+0029]. The main goal of this work is to search for a new substructure candidate and examine the orientation of angular momentum in the framework of three different scenarios (hierarchy, pancake, and primordial vorticity models) using “position angle-inclination method”, and to test the dependence on magnitude with the angular momentum orientations and their projections. We identified five substructures studying number density contour map with considerably high concentration of galaxies. Using random simulation method to remove the selection effect on database, we carried out expected isotropic distribution using cosmological principle. We then used three statistical tests: Chi-square, Auto-correlation, and Fourier to identify isotropy between observed and expected isotropic distributions. We varied radius in the range 0.3° to 1.0° to find substructures in supercluster. From this we found five sub-structures when taking radius 0.3° and two substructures for 1.0° radius in the number density counter maps of galaxies. By analyzing the result obtained through statistical tests, we are able to conform that evolution of galaxy in the supercluster and substructures supports “Hierarchy model" giving the angular momentum of galaxies in the large scale structure tends to be oriented random with respect to the reference coordinate system.
We present magnitude, color, redshift and number density distributions of 1302 galaxies in the supercluster S[173+014+0082]. Our aim is to identify substructures and study their redshift maps. The visual magnitude distribution suggests that the supercluster is dynamically unstable. We found 3 substructures in the supercluster region having mean redshift 0.083, 0.085 and 0.090. An empirical relation be-tween the number of galaxies in the substructures and their mean redshift is observed.
We present spatial orientation of angular momentum vectors of 3038 galaxies in the SDSS supercluster S[202-002+0084] having mean redshift 0.084. The selection effects in the database are removed using random simulation method. The observed distributions of angular momentum vectors of galaxies are compared with expected theoretical distribution using chi-square, auto-correlation and Fourier tests. No preferred alignments of angular momentum vectors of galaxies are noticed in the supercluster S[202-001+0084], supporting hierarchy model.
