Detection of Non-Random Galaxy Orientations in X-ray Subclusters of the Coma Cluster
arXiv:astro-ph/0303016 · doi:10.1086/376670
Abstract
This study on the Coma cluster suggests that there are deviations from a completely random galaxy orientation on small scales. Since we found a significant coincidence of hot-gas features identified in the latest X-ray observations of Coma with these local anisotropies, they may indicate regions of recent mutual interaction of member galaxies within subclusters which are currently falling in on the main cluster.
