... Radio source identifications . The Web-server of the Special Astrophysical Observatory supports the mirror version of the Clusters of Galaxies database . At present only the data about radio sources in ACO clusters of galaxies are reasonably complete, while only restricted optical information is in our database. Later on, we also intend to include X-ray data and data about brightest cluster galaxies (BCG). ... ACO: radio optic ( for example, A0690 and " optic "), . ...

... A bibliographic database will be constructed with the purpose to be a general tool for searching references for galaxy clusters. ... Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bound systems in the Universe. ... It is reasonable to test the basic concepts which will be incorporated in the database using A/ACO clusters of galaxies (Abell 1958; Abell, Corwin, & Olowin 1989). ... The first catalog of clusters of galaxies was published by Abell (1958) for and extended by Abell et al. (1989) for...

... Editor's choices for the most educational Astronomy Pictures of the Day about clusters of galaxies: . APOD: 2006 March 21 - The Coma Cluster of Galaxies . ... APOD: 2005 November 22 - A Galactic Collision in Cluster Abell 1185 . ... A prominent example occurs on the left of the above image of the rich cluster of galaxies Abell 1185. ... Recent observations of Abell 1185 have found unusual globular clusters of stars that appear to belong only to the galaxy cluster and not to any individual galaxy. ...

... Authors: Marc Postman 1 , Lori M. Lubin 2,3,4 , J. B. Oke 5,6 We present an extensive photometric and spectroscopic study of two high-redshift clusters of galaxies based on data obtained from the Keck 10m telescopes and the Hubble Space Telescope. The clusters CL0023+0423 (z=0.84) and CL1604+4304 (z=0.90) are part of a multi-wavelength program to study nine candidate clusters at z 0.6 (Oke, Postman & Lubin 1998). ... We also observe many old, red galaxies. ... huizinga@stsci.edu . ...

... 3C294: Distant X Ray Galaxy Cluster . ... Astronomers now realize that a hallmark of these cosmic behemoths are gas clouds with temperatures of tens of millions of degrees that pervade the clusters and radiate strongly in x-rays. This Chandra Observatory image centered on a radio galaxy cataloged as 3C294 indeed reveals the telltale hot x-ray gas in an hourglass shaped region surrounding the dominant galaxy and shows the presence of a massive galaxy cluster in the distant universe . ...

The radial distribution of metallicity of star-forming galaxies in a galaxy cluster can inform us about the mass assembly and enrichment history of the galaxy cluster. ... Both galaxy clusters are cool-core clusters at redshift z т?? ... The gas-phase metallicity of star- forming galaxies in MACS1115+01 exhibit anti-correlation with projected distance т??0.15 ТБ 0.08 dex/Mpc, whereas the radial metallicity distribution of RXJ1532+30 is statistically flat (т??0.09 ТБ 0.12 dex/Mpc). ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...
