چکیده
The mean redshift of the core of the Coma cluster-cz = 6953 km s −1 and its dispersion σ = 949 km s −1 are obtained by means of the analysis of the substructures of this cluster by using the S-tree method. The existence of three subgroups of galaxies is revealed, one of them is associated with the cD galaxy NGC 4874, the other – with NGC 4889. It is argued that these subgroups are galaxy associations, i.e. galactic dynamical entities moving within the main cluster. Thus we conclude that the non-stationarity of the dynamical processes ongoing in the Coma core is due to the merging of small-scale galaxy associations, rather than of two equal sized clusters. We provide the lists of the galaxies of the associations, the observational study of which can be of particular interest.

The physical conditions in the inner parsec of accretion disks believed to orbit the central black holes in active galactic nuclei can be probed by imaging the absorption (by ionized gas in the disk) of background emission from a radio counterjet. We report high angular resolution VLBI observations of the nearby (∼ 40 Mpc) radio galaxy NGC 4261 that confirm free-free absorption of radio emissio...

The high spatial resolution of the MECS experiment on board Beppo-SAX has encouraged a few scientists, including the author, to perform observations of galaxy clusters. Results from the analysis of the first few observed objects are encouraging. After having reviewed the Beppo-SAX observing program for galaxy clusters and referenced contributions to these proceedings by other authors on the sam...

We present evidence for a new morphologically defined form of small-scale substructure in the Coma Cluster, which we call galaxy aggregates. These aggregates are dominated by a central galaxy, which is on average three magnitudes brighter than the smaller aggregate members, nearly all of which lie to one side of the central galaxy. We have found three such galaxy aggregates dominated by the S0 ...
