Redshifts of several galaxies thought to be associated with NGC 326 are determined. The results confirm the presence of a cluster and find a mean redshift of and a line‐of‐sight velocity dispersion σz=599 (+230,−110) km s−1. The velocity dispersion and previously measured X‐ray gas temperature of kT≃1.9 keV are consistent with the cluster σzkT relation, and NGC 326 is seen to be a slowly moving member of the cluster.
Measurements of the velocities of galaxies thought to be associated with the
giant radio galaxy NGC 6251 confirm the presence of a poor cluster with a
systemic redshift of z= 0.0244 +/- 0.0004 and a line-of-sight velocity
dispersion of sigma_{z}= 283 (+109, -52) km/s. This suggests a cluster
atmosphere temperature of T = 0.7 (+0.6, -0.2) keV, which is not enough to
confine the radio jet by gas pressure. The core of NGC 6251 shows strong
emission lines of [O III] and H alpha + [N II], but there is no evidence for
line emission from the jet (detected in optical continuum by Keel (1988)).Comment: 7 pages, 2 figures, to be published in MNRA
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
