Scientific paper

The cannibalism mechanism of formation of cD galaxies in clusters of
Bautz-Morgan class I is analyzed. Dependences between absolute magnitude of cD
galaxies, and of the clusters in which they reside (richness, redshifts) are
considered. Evidences are presented in favor of formation of cD galaxies by
cannibalism and their evolution.
