An attempt is made to establish the membership of Abell clusters in superclusters of galaxies. The relation is used to calibrate the distances to the clusters of galaxies with two redshift estimates. One is m10, the magnitude of the ten-ranked galaxy, and the other is the “mean population,” P, defined by: where p = 40, 65, 105 … galaxies for richness groups 0, 1, 2 …, and r is the apparent radius in degrees given by: The first iteration for redshift, z1, is obtained from m10 alone: The standard deviation for Eq. (1) is 0.105, the number of clusters with known velocities is 342 and the correlation coefficient between observed and fitted values is 0.921. With zi from Eq. (1), we define Cartesian galactic coordinates Xi = Rih−1 cosBi cosLi, Yi = Rih−1 cosBi sinLi, Zi = Rih−1 sinBi for each Abell cluster, i = 1, …, 2712, where Ri is the distance to the cluster (Mpc), and Ho = 100 h km s−1 Mpc−1.

We discuss four samples from the Abell (1958) catalog of clusters of galaxies. Our samples are drawn out from the Abell sample and all clusters have richness 2 and 3. With Ho = 100 km/s/Mpc and qo = +1, we examine the following volumes, defined for both galactic hemispheres: (i)RG 3: b 40° for 0° < 1 360° and b 30° for 90° < 1 240°, distance 300 < R < 750 Mpc, N = 35 clusters, 30 of which with known redshift;(ii)RG 3: b −35° for 15° < 1 232°, 150 < R < 600 Mpc, N = 15 (13);(iii)RG 2: b and 1 as (i), 60 < R < 525 Mpc, N = 110 (55);(iv)RG 2: b and 1 as (ii), 120 < R < 600 Mpc, N = 102(14).

We have studied the properties of rich clusters of galaxies in various cosmological scenarios by comparing high resolution N-body simulations with observations of Abell clusters. The clusters have been simulated in two steps. First, protoclusters are identified in large-scale simulations which represent a wide range of cosmological scenarios (hierarchical clustering, pancake scenarios, and hybrids of the two, spanning a range of power spectra). Then the region around each protocluster is simulated with high resolution, the particles representing L* galaxies. The protoclusters have no spatial symmetry built into them initially. The final clusters are still dynamically young, and of moderate densities, which should be representative of Abell clusters of richness classes 1 and 2.
