Abstract

The authors obtained CCD images of the brightest elliptical galaxy in 27 clusters of galaxies with redshifts z < 0.1. Elliptical isophotes were fit to each galaxy image. The authors also measured the position angle of each cluster from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) prints. They found only marginal evidence for the alignment of brightest cluster members with their parent clusters, but they found that their CCD isophotes are well aligned with the POSS image.
