چکیده

The multiple images observed in galaxy cluster Abell 1689 provide strong constraints not only on the mass distribution of the cluster but also on the ensemble properties of the cluster galaxies. Using parametric strong lensing models for the cluster, and by assuming well motivated scaling laws between the truncation radius s and the velocity dispersion σ of a cluster galaxy we are able to derive sizes of the dark matter halos of cluster galaxies. For the scaling law expected for galaxies in the cluster environment (s ∝ σ), we obtain s = 64 −14 × (σ/ 220 km/s) kpc. For the scaling law used for galaxies in the field with s ∝ σ 2 we find s = 66 −16 × (σ/ 220 km/s) 2 kpc. Compared to halos of field galaxies, the cluster galaxy halos in Abell 1689 are strongly truncated.

We present the results of a galaxy redshift survey in the central region of the Shapley Concentration. Our total sample contains ∼ 2000 radial velocities of galaxies both in the clusters and in the inter-cluster field. We reconstruct the density profile of this supercluster, calculate its overdensity and total mass. Moreover we detect a massive structure behind the Shapley Concentration, at ∼ 3...

We present neutral hydrogen observations of 54 galaxies in the Pegasus cluster. The observations include single dish HI measurements, obtained with the Arecibo telescope for all 54 galaxies in the sample, as well as HI images, obtained with the VLA for 10 of these. The Arecibo profiles reveal an overall HI deficiency in the cluster, with ∼40% of the galaxies in the core of the cluster showing m...

We present the results of detailed N-body simulations regarding the interaction of four massive globular clusters in the central region of a triaxial galaxy. The systems undergo a full merging event, producing a sort of 'Super Star Cluster' (SSC) whose features are close to those of a superposition of the individual initial mergers. In contrast with other similar simulations, the resulting SSC ...
