| contents | Photometric Properties of Low-Redshift Galaxy Clusters Omar López Cruz Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas A comprehensive multicolor survey was undertaken to investigate global optical properties of Abell clusters of galaxies. This survey was christened the Low-Redshift Cluster Optical Survey (LOCOS). LOCOS was devised to search for patterns of galaxy evolution induced by the environment. The generated dat a base contains accurate deep CCD photometric measurements (Kron-Cousins R, B and I) for a sample of 46 low-redshift (0.04 <= z <= 0.18) Abell clusters . This is one of the few large surveys that included the contribution due to dwar f galaxies (about 5.5 mag deeper than the R characteristic magnitude (MR*); {Ho}=50 h50 km s-1 Mpc-1, qo=0). Due to space restrictions only the main results concerning the variations at the bright-end of the luminosity function (LF) are presented here. Other results are presented elsewhere (Lopez-Cruz & Yee 2000a,b). We have detected clear variations at both the bright end and the faint end of the LF. The nature of the variations at the bright end revealed that poor cD cluster have dimmer MR*. We can explain these variations as a result of dynamical friction. On the other hand, non-cD clusters seem to have unaffected LFs. A third class termed as binary clusters seems to be a transition class that might have resulted from cluster-cluster mergers. 2001 artículo científico 0185-1101 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57101154 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=571 Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica (México) Vol.11 |
