“…The left panel shows a 35 ×24 field near the top of the southern survey area. Some of the LSB structures are associated with known background sources, including ICL in the distant background galaxy cluster Abell 1541 (z = 0.09, Slinglend et al 1998) and the tidal tails associated with the background galaxy group around the radio galaxy NGC 4410 (cz = 7254 km s −1 , Hummel et al 1986, Donahue et al 2002. We also trace the faint outer arms of the Virgo spiral NGC 4411 to a distance of 3.6 (17.3 kpc).…”

We present the results of a deep imaging survey of the Virgo cluster of galaxies, concentrated around the cores of Virgo subclusters A and B. The goal of this survey was to detect and study very low surface brightness features present in Virgo, including discrete tidal features, the faint halos of luminous galaxies, and the diffuse intracluster light (ICL). Our observations span roughly 16 degrees 2 in two filters, reaching a 3σ limiting depth of µ B =29.5 and µ V =28.5 mag arcsec −2 . At these depths, our limiting systematic uncertainties are astrophysical: variations in faint background sources as well as scattered light from galactic dust. We show that this dust-scattered light is well-traced by deep farinfrared imaging, making it possible to separate it from true diffuse light in Virgo. We use our imaging to trace and measure the color of the diffuse tidal streams and intracluster light in the Virgo core near M87, in fields adjacent to the core including the M86/M84 region, and to the south of the core around M49 and subcluster B, along with the more distant W cloud around NGC 4365. Overall, the bulk of the projected ICL is found in the Virgo core and within the W cloud; we find little evidence for an extensive ICL component in the field around M49. The bulk of the ICL we detect is fairly red in color (B − V =0.7-0.9), indicative of old, evolved stellar populations. Based on the luminosity of the observed ICL features in the cluster, we estimate a total Virgo ICL fraction of 7-15%. This value is somewhat smaller than that expected for massive, evolved clusters, suggesting that Virgo is still in the process of growing its extended ICL component. We also trace the shape of M87's extremely boxy outer halo out to ∼ 150 kpc, and show that the current tidal stripping rate from low luminosity galaxies is insufficient to have built M87's outer halo over a Hubble time. We identify a number of previously unknown low surface brightness structures around galaxies projected close to M86 and M84. The extensive diffuse light seen in the infalling W cloud around NGC 4365 is likely to be subsumed in the general Virgo ICL component once the group enters the cluster, illustrating the importance of group infall in generating intracluster light. Finally, we also identify another large and extremely low surface brightness ultra-diffuse galaxy, likely in the process of being shredded by the cluster tidal field. With the survey complete, the full imaging dataset is now available for public release.

“…Therefore, we also used a photometric sample of galaxies with m r < 17.77 whose redshift information is available in the literature. We downloaded the photometric sample of galaxies with m r < 17.77 and matched it with the redshift catalogs of galaxies such as Updated Zwicky Catalog (UZC; Falco et al 1999), MX northern Abell cluster redshift survey (Slinglend et al 1998), EFAR survey (Wegner et al 1996(Wegner et al , 1999, and the redshift survey of Abell clusters (Hill & Oegerle 1993. Furthermore, we add redshift information of the photometric sample of galaxies located within ten times the virial radius of some galaxy clusters from the NASA Extragalactic Database (NED) ).…”

Aims. We study the environmental dependence of local luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data. Methods. The LIRG and ULIRG samples are constructed by cross-correlating spectroscopic catalogs of galaxies of the SDSS Data Release 7 and the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Faint Source Catalog. We examine the effects of the large-scale background density (Σ 5 ), galaxy clusters and the nearest neighbor galaxy on the properties of infrared galaxies (IRGs). Results. We find that the fraction of LIRGs plus ULIRGs among IRGs ( f (U)LIRGs ) and the infrared luminosity (L IR ) of IRGs strongly depend on the morphology of and the distance to the nearest neighbor galaxy: the probability of an IRG being a (U)LIRG ( f (U)LIRGs ) and its L IR both increases as it approaches a late-type galaxy, but decreases as it approaches an early-type galaxy (within half the virial radius of its neighbor). We find no dependence of f (U)LIRGs on the background density (surface galaxy number density) at a fixed stellar mass of galaxies. The dependence of f (U)LIRGs on the distance to galaxy clusters is also found to be very weak, but in the highest density regions, such as the center of galaxy clusters, few (U)LIRGs are found.Conclusions. This environmental dependence of LIRGs and ULIRGs and the evolution of the star formation rate (SFR)-environment relation from high redshifts to low redshifts seem to support the idea that galaxy-galaxy interactions and merging play a critical role in triggering the star formation activity of LIRGs and ULIRGs.

We present a compilation of redshifts for 1572 Abell, Corwin, & Olowin (ACO) clusters, referenced to both the heliocentric and cosmic background radiation reference frames, and 395 velocity dispersions corrected to the reference frame of the cluster, available from the literature as of 1998 December. We present an additional list of 81 ACO clusters with published redshifts which are probably those of galaxies or groups superimposed on, or near, the ACO cluster position.
