Super-large-scale structures in the distribution of infrared galaxies

Typical scales in the distribution of IRAS galaxies with the unnormalized pair count method. Samples are those provided by QDOT redshift survey and sorted out from the IRAS faint sources catalog. Analysis is concentrated on the structures at super-large scales. The results show that statistically significant typical scales do exist in the distribution of all these samples from both 2-dimensiortal and 3-dimensional analyses. These scales are consistent with those found from the analyses of galaxies and clusters of galaxies by Mo et al. and also consistent with those found from analysis of quasars by Deng et al. The analysis provides additional evidence for the existence of typical scales in the large-scale structure of the universe. The existence of typical scales challenges all the existing models on the formation of galaxies and structures.
