We present results of the study of peculiar motions of 57 clusters and groups of galaxies in the regions of the Corona Borealis (CrB), Bootes (Boo), Z 5029/A 1424, A 1190, A 1750/A 1809 superclusters of galaxies and 20 galaxy clusters located beyond massive structures (0.05 z 0.10). Using the SDSS Data Release 8 data, a sample of early-type galaxies was compiled in the systems under study, their Fundamental Planes (FP) were built and relative distances and peculiar velocities were determined.

The evidence for the existence of very large scale structures, ∼ 100h−1 Mpc in size, as derived from the spatial distribution of clusters of galaxies is summarized. A “shell model” of galaxy clustering is described in which clusters of galaxies are located at shell intersections; the model yields results consistent with cluster observations. Detection of a ∼ 2000 km s−1 elongation in the redshift direction in the distribution of the clusters is also described. Possible causes of the effect are peculiar velocities of clusters on scales of 10–100h−1 Mpc and geometrical elongation of superclusters. If the effect is entirely due to the peculiar velocities of clusters, then superclusters have masses of order 1016,5M⊙ and may contain a larger amount of dark matter than previously anticipated.

Observations of supernovae Ia make it possible to estimate the values of cosmological parameters using the Hubble diagram. First of all, such observations give us a value of the Hubble constant, which is one of the most important cosmological parameters. Improving the accuracy of measurements of this parameter is a priority for modern cosmological analysis. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the influence of the peculiar velocities of supernovae Ia on the measurement of the redshift, which is used in constructing the Hubble diagram. We study the contribution of peculiar velocities due to the motion of host galaxies in the gravitational field of galaxy clusters for a cosmological sample of supernovae Pantheon.

AbstractWe are carrying out a multifrequency survey of late type galaxies in nearby clusters with the aim to investigate the effects exerted by both the very local and the global cluster environments. We report new VLA-HI images of galaxies in Abell 1367 and study the evolution of their gaseous component. In Abell 85 we perform a deep NIR imaging survey of the brightest spirals projected up to 1.0 Abell radius with the aim of unveiling possible gravitational effects on their stellar disks. Here we show preliminary results of these projects, mainly focused on infalling compact groups of galaxies moving towards their respective cluster centers.

Rough indications that v sin i is correlated with peculiar velocities exist only in the range of early-type Be Stars. Further corrections of space velocities of Be Stars for systematic movements of stellar groups to which they belong, as well as identifications of coeval stars have to be performed in order to decide whether the high rotation of some of them could be the consequence of gravitational encounters.

AbstractClusters and groups of galaxies contain the majority of galaxies in the universe. The rich clusters, while less numerous than the many poor groups, are the densest and largest systems known, and can be easily recognized and studied even at relatively large distances. Their study is important for understanding the formation and evolution of clusters and galaxies, and for a determination of the large-scale structure in the universe.
