The Distances of Subclusters in the Virgo Area

  • By using the Mixture Model and radial velocity data from CfA redshift catalogue, we resolve the substructures of the Virgo cluster.Distances of three main subclusters are determined by the Tully-Fisher galaxies, they are 18.0±1.3Mpc, 25.0 ±2.3Mpc and 30.9±3.1Mpc respectively, which implicate that they are independent clusters, and the Virgo area has a significant depth in the line-of-sight direction.
