We have measured redshifts for 172 galaxies; 106 of these are cluster members. We determine the luminosity function from a photometric survey of the central 1.2 h^{-1} x 1.2 h^{-1} Mpc. The LF has a bump at the bright end and a faint-end slope of \\alpha = -1.37+-0.16, populated almost exclusively by absorption-line galaxies. The cluster velocity dispersion is lower in the core (\\sim 530 km/s) than at the outskirts (\\sim 680 km/s), consistent with the cooling flow seen in the X-ray. The cold core extends \\sim 150 h^{-1} kpc from the cluster center. The Kron-Cousins R-band mass-to-light ratio of the system is 650+-170 h M_\\odot/L_\\odot, substantially lower than previous optical determinations, but consistent with most previous X-ray determinations. We adopt H_0 = 100 h km/s/Mpc throughout this paper; at the mean cluster redshift, (5247+-76 km/s), 1 h^{-1} Mpc subtends 65$\\farcm$5.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-08-05T16:49:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "kinematic study", "photometric", "kron-cousins r-band mass-to-light ratio", "measured redshifts", "mean cluster redshift" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 489852 } } }
