Do clusters of galaxies rotatate?

چکیده
It is shown that the number of members, NA, and the linear radius of the Abell clusters at z < 0.18 increase with redshift. The increase is caused by observational selection: the number of rich and large clusters is small in the nearby small volume of space, while poor and small clusters are not detected at high distances. Besides, the numbers of clusters with different ellipticities are about the same at all distances, though in the case of cosmological evolution the number of the more elliptical clusters increases with decrease of distance. It means that clusters do not evolve dynamically. The dependences of the X-ray emission detection rate and the temperature of the X-ray emission on redshift are consequences of the dependence of NA on redshift. The radial velocity dispersion of the less elliptical clusters is higher than that of the elongated ones. This shows that galaxies in a cluster move preferentially along the large axis of the cluster. The space density is not changing in the considered range of z. Movement of galaxies along the cluster elongation may be explained by rotatation along the large axis of a cluster.

Allowing the energy of a gravitational field to serve partially as its own source allows gravitating bodies to exhibit stronger fields, as if they were more massive. Depending on degree of compaction of the body, the field could be one to five times larger than the Newtonian field. This is a comfortable range of increase in field strength and may prove to be of convenience in the study of vel...
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملAGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies
We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...
متن کاملThe Dependence of Globular Cluster Number on Density for Abell Cluster Central Galaxies
A study of the globular cluster systems of 23 brightest, or central, galaxies in 19 Abell clusters has recently been completed (Blakeslee 1997). This letter presents some of the newly discovered correlations of the globular cluster specific frequency SN in these galaxies with other galaxy and cluster properties and puts forth an interpretation of these results. SN is found to correlate strongly...
