Observations of the central region of the galaxy cluster associated with 2A 0335+096, obtained in H-alpha, R, I, and b45 (4506 A with FWHM 355 A) using an 800 x 800-pixel CCD detector on the 4-m telescope at KPNO on December 27 and 30, 1986, are reported. The data are presented graphically and analyzed. Features discussed include a 17-kpc-long bar of H-alpha emission surrounded by filaments, a smaller elongated H-alpha structure (possibly an accretion disk) centered on the nucleus of the central galaxy, a secondary galaxy with a red H-alpha-bright nucleus located within the 17-kpc bar about 6 arcsec from the central-galaxy nucleus, and evidence for excess blue emission (indicating star formation at about 8 solar mass/yr in the cooling flow). From the presence of dust in the emission-line gas it is inferred that theoretical models based on preferential formation of low-mass stars may not be applicable to this object.
