Scientific paper

The paper presents photoelectric observations at two wavelengths of the surface brightness distribution over a large area of the Coma cluster. The distribution of cluster light is found to follow the distribution of galaxies very closely, and there is little luminosity outside the V25 isophotes of the galaxies. The present data alone give an upper limit of 25 per cent for the amount of the total cluster luminosity which might come from a smoothly distributed intergalactic medium.
