Properties of the redshift-magnitude bands in the Coma cluster.
Abstract
Redshifts of additional faint galaxies in the Coma cluster are given. A total of 108 galaxies with redshift and magnitude data is now available and is discussed with regard to both nuclearregion and total magnitude. The banded correlation previously discussed by Tifft is shown to be convergent toward zero redshift and possibly to possess a discrete structure along each band which correlates with galaxy angular momentum. The statistical significance of the banded correlation is investigated by power-spectrum analysis, and implications of the correlations are briefly discussed.
