| notes | If present, at least one of: AGN? (central galaxy may have color or spectrum indicating it may host an AGN); Lensing? (cluster may show strong gravitational lensing features); Merger? (cluster may be a merger); Star formation? (a galaxy near the center may have blue colors which might indicate star formation if it is not a line-of-sight projection). These notes are not comprehensive and merely indicate some systems that were identified as potentially interesting during visual inspection of the available optical/IR imaging. |
