Using data from an earlier search for supernovae in distant clusters, we have constructed a homogeneous set of V images for 19 rich clusters with mean redshift z¯¯¯=0.32z¯=0.32. By considering the images above a fixed surface brightness limit, the da... Read More about A statistically complete survey for arc-like features in images of distant rich clusters of galaxies.

Spectra are presented for portions of the two arcs observed close to the dominant cD galaxy in the rich cluster Abell 963 (z = 0.206). The spectrum of the northern arc displays a strong emission line at 6600 Å which is seen along the entire arc. The... Read More about Spectroscopy of arcs in the rich cluster Abell 963.
