Daniel Pomarède
Daniel Pomarède (born October 3, 1971) is a staff scientist at the Institute of Research into the Fundamental Laws of the Universe,
CEA Paris-Saclay University. He co-discovered
Laniakea, our home supercluster of galaxies, and
Ho'oleilana, a spherical shell-like structure 1 billion light-years in diameter found in the distribution of galaxies, possibly the remnant of a
Baryon Acoustic Oscillation. Specialized in data visualization and
cosmography, a branch of cosmology dedicated to mapping the Universe, he also co-authored the discoveries of the
Dipole Repeller and of the Cold Spot Repeller, two large influential cosmic
voids, and the discovery of the
South Pole Wall, a large-scale structure located in the direction of the south
celestial pole beyond the southern frontiers of Laniakea.
