The scaling relations of early-type galaxies in clusters. I. Surface photometry in seven nearby clusters
This is the first paper of a series investigating the scaling relationsof early-type galaxies in clusters. Here we illustrate the multi-bandimagery and the image reduction and calibration procedures relative tothe whole sample of 22 clusters at 0.05 <~ z <~ 0.25. We alsopresent detailed surface photometry of 312 early-type galaxies in 7clusters in the first redshift bin, z ≈0.025-0.075. We give for eachgalaxy the complete set of luminosity and geometrical profiles, and anumber of global, photometric and morphological parameters. They havebeen evaluated taking into account the effects of seeing. Internalconsistency checks and comparisons with data in the literature confirmthe quality of our analysis. These data, together with the spectroscopicones presented in the second paper of the series, will provide the localcalibration of the scaling relations. Tables 6, 7a-7g, the colour printsof Figs. 12a-12g AND Figs. 13a-13g are only available in electronic format http://www.edpsciences.com. The complete set of profiles is availableupon request from the authors. Tables 7a-7g are also available inelectronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr(130.79.188.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/387/26
| The Horologium-Reticulum supercluster of galaxies
The existence of a supercluster at approximately 18,000 km/s in theHorologium-Reticulum region is demonstrated. The principal constituentsof the H-R supercluster are two rich clusters, Cl 0342-538 and 0329-527,one of which has an adjacent loose enhancement of galaxies, Cl 0326-537.A simple model indicates that the two main clusters of the H-Rsupercluster are at present approaching each other and will collidewithin 0.5 of a Hubble time. It is noted that a bridge (or filament) ofgalaxies connects Cl 0342-538 to the loose enhancements at Cl 0326-537.It is found that the position angles of the five bridge galaxies aresignificantly aligned along the direction of the bridge. A number offoreground groups are detected. One such system at 13,700 km/s coversmost of the survey region, exhibits a velocity dispersion of only 210km/s, and is similar to the G47 system observed in front of the Herculessupercluster. Several regions completely devoid of galaxies areidentified.
| A catalog of morphological types in 55 rich clusters of galaxies
Data are presented from a study of 55 rich clusters of galaxies. Thedata include positions, morphological types, estimated total magnitudes,bulge sizes, and ellipticities for about 6000 galaxies, as determinedfrom high scale photographic plates. Data reduction procedures aredescribed, and a brief analysis of cluster richness, which indicatesthat Abell richness classes are only rough indicators of total clustermembership, is included.
