Galaxy systems in the optical and infrared
Abstract
Description
In these three lectures a review is provided of the properties of galaxy systems as determined from optical and infrared measurements. Covered topics are: clusters identification, global cluster properties and their scaling relations, cluster internal structure and dynamics, and properties of cluster galaxy populations.
Three lectures given at the Course on the "Astrophysics of Galaxy Clusters" of the International School of Physics "Enrico Fermi" (Varenna, July 2008). 60 pages, 20 figures, 525 references
