Attractors in the local universe reconstructed from the CosmicFlows-4 galaxies (i.e identified in the peculiar velocity field reconstructed from the CF4 distances of individual galaxies). The reconstructed overdensity field is represented by 4 levels of isosurfaces from white to dark red: 0.75, 1, 1.4 and 1.75. Streamlines are derived by integrating the reconstructed peculiar velocity field in the forward direction. For clarity purposes, extra noise has been removed by showing only streamlines part of basins of attraction identified with the segmentation algorithm. Black spheres are located at the coordinates of attractors identified in the velocity field, i.e at the points where the streamlines are converging. The center of the reconstructed cube is located by the red, green and blue arrows of length 50 Mpc/h and directing along the supergalactic cartesian SGX, SGY and SGZ axes respectively.
