The orientation of rich galaxy clusters

Monika Biernacka and Katarzyna Bajan

We present an analysis of spatial orientations of galaxies in 377 optically selected rich Abell clusters (Abell et al., 1989) with redshift z<0.2. We investigated the relation between angles that give information about galaxy angular momenta and the number of members in each structure.
