Proposal Title: Low Surface Brightness Galaxies in X-ray Emitting Clusters
ABSTRACT:
Successful surveys for the detection of low surface brightness disk galaxies have been primarily undertaken in spiral
rich clusters with little or no X-ray emission. Based on these detections, it has been shown that the number density
of galaxies in the local Universe is dominated by galaxies of low surface brightness. This, however, begs the
question of whether or not the previously surveyed environments are biased in their preponderance of low surface
brightness systems. To test this hypothesis we have undertaken a survey of the spiral-rich, strongly X-ray emitting
cluster Abell 1367. As a rst step in this project we have optically discovered 36 previously un-identied galaxies in
the central region of Abell 1367. However, positive identication of the newly discovered galaxies with the cluster
requires knowing the objects' redshifts. To accomplish this, we propose to use the Arecibo 305m telescope to search
for these galaxies in HI.
