Abstract

We have constructed a set of supercluster catalogues for the galaxies from the SDSS survey main and luminous red galaxy (LRG) flux-limited samples. To delineate superclusters, we calculated luminosity density fields using the B_3_-spline kernel of the radius of 8Mpc/h for the main sample and 16Mpc/h for the LRG sample and define regions with densities over a selected threshold as superclusters, while utilising almost the whole volume of both samples. We created two types of catalogues, one with an adaptive local threshold and a set of catalogues with different global thresholds. We describe the supercluster catalogues and their general properties. Using smoothed bootstrap, we find uncertainty estimates for the density field and use these to attribute confidence levels to the catalogue objects. We have also created a test catalogue for the galaxies from the Millennium simulation to compare the simulated and observed superclusters and to clarify the methods we use. We find that the superclusters are well-defined systems, and the properties of the superclusters of the main and LRG samples are similar. We also show that with adaptive local thresholds we get a sample of superclusters, the properties of which do not depend on their distance from the observer. The Millennium galaxy catalogue superclusters are similar to those observed.
