L. Hansen et al., ISO far-infrared observations of rich galaxy clusters III. Abell 2029, Abell 2052, Abell 2142, ASTRON ASTR, 362(1), 2000, pp. 133-137
A sample of five rich galaxy clusters has been mapped by ISO at 60 mum, 100
mum, 135 mum, and 200 mum using the PHT-C camera. In previous papers Abell
2670 and Sersic 159-03 were discussed. Here we present the results for Abe
ll 2029, Abell 2052, and Abell 2142. The conclusion of the survey is that t
he relatively small fields (approximate to 60 square are minutes) are struc
tured with filaments or superpositions of point sources. In some cases poin
t sources (approximate to 0.1 Jy) can be identified with cluster galaxies.
An attempt to demonstrate infrared emission from dust in the cooling flows
(due to star formation) was inconclusive.
