Galaxy activity influenced by the environment in the cluster of galaxies Abell 85

Abstract

Description

We analyse the relation between the dynamical state of a cluster of galaxies and the activity (star formation and AGN) of its members. For the case of Abell 85 we find some evidence for an enhanced activity of both types in substructures which are in the early stage of merging with the cluster.
