Toward Understanding Environmental Effects in SDSS Clusters
We find clusters and superclusters of galaxies using the Data Release 1 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We calculate a low-resolution density field with a smoothing length of 10 h Mpc to characterise the density of the cluster environment. We determine the luminosity function of clusters, and investigate properties of clusters in various environments. We find that clusters in a high-density en...
متن کاملClusters of Galaxies in the SDSS
I review here past and present research on clusters and groups of galaxies within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). I begin with a short review of the SDSS and efforts to find clusters of galaxies using both the photometric and spectroscopic SDSS data. In particular, I discuss the C4 algorithm which is designed to search for clusters and groups within a 7–dimensional data–space, i.e., simult...
متن کاملSearching for rotating galaxy clusters in SDSS and 2 dFGRS
We present a result of searching for galaxy clusters that show an indication of global rotation using a spectroscopic sample of galaxies in SDSS and 2dFGRS. We have determined the member galaxies of 899 Abell clusters covered in SDSS and 2dFGRS using the redshift and the positional data of galaxies, and have estimated the ratio of the cluster rotation amplitude to the cluster velocity dispersio...
متن کاملDiscovery of Strong Lensing Clusters in the Sdss Dr6
We discovered strong gravitational lensing in 4 galaxy clusters by visual inspection of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey images in Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6). Two of them show the Einstein rings, and the other two show tangential giant arcs. These arcs or rings have large angle separations of > 8 from the bright central galaxies. The lensed images in general are bluer than cluster member galaxies. T...
متن کاملEnvironmental effects on Gas and Galaxy Evolution in Clusters
The cluster environment is the site of important transformations in galaxies at a relatively recent cosmological epoch: the galactic morphological types and star formation activity have evolved significantly during the last few Gyrs. How is this related to the galactic gas content? The first part of this paper briefly presents the optical observations of galaxies in distant clusters, while the ...
