Projection Effects in the Abell Catalogue
van Haarlem, M. P.
Original · EN
We investigate the influence that projection effects have on the completeness of the the Abell cluster catalogue in the context of an Ω₀=1 CDM Universe. We construct a galaxy catalogue and identify clusters using an algorithm that mimics Abell's method. Over 30% of Richness Class ≥1 clusters have been selected despite not meeting the required intrinsic (3D) richness criterion. Velocity dispersions are shown to have been systematically overestimated.
