| Abstract: | Empirical and analytical procedures are developed to determine the morphological properties of galaxy clusters. The apparent orientations and shapes are obtainted in two dimensional space while the direction towards the cluster pole is found in three dimensional space. These properties were determined for three Abell clusters and found to be strongly related. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date. |
