Les astrophysiciens ont sélectionné 180 000 de ces galaxies pour étudier l'homogénéité de l'Univers aujourd’hui et à différentes époques passées. Ils ont combiné la méthode utilisée sur les données de SDSS [Sloan Digital Sky Survey] avec une analyse fondée sur une théorie plus générale reposant sur les fractales. Ils ont aussi utilisé une simulation à N corps modélisant l'évolution de l'Univers et la formation des grandes structures pour valider leur approche.
