Scientific paper

We present an analysis of the alignment effect of galaxies extracted from a sample of 57 low-redshift (0.04 < z < 0.20) Abell clusters. Galaxies have been selected with respect to their color, luminosity, and distance from the cluster center. We investigate possible correlations between the orientation of cluster galaxies and various properties of the host cluster (e.g., optical richness, BM-type, and X-ray luminosity). Understanding the relationship between cluster galaxies and their local environment, will help to uncover details about galaxy formation and evolution in these dense systems.
