Bound populations around cD galaxies
Journal Article
·
· Astrophys. J.; (United States)
Velocity measurements of a complete sample of galaxies within a projected separation of 200 kpc are presented for the cD clusters A2271, A2589, and A2634. The aim of the measurements was to search for the presence of a bound population of satellite galaxies that are in the process of merging with the cD. It is concluded that the question of the frequency of bound populations around cD galaxies remains open since most clusters have not yet been observed in the detail that is required to discover these populations. 31 references.
