Scientific paper

We present results of a study of the dynamics of the rich cluster Abell 2634. Spectroscopic observations were obtained using the MX spectrometer on the Steward Observatory 2.3-m telescope. We have obtained about 100 radial velocities of galaxies in this cluster with an accuracy of about 100 km/s. This cluster is of particular interest since its cD galaxy (NGC 7720) has been identified with the wide-angle tail radio source 3C 465. The observations of Scott et al. (1977) indicate that NGC 7720 has a peculiar velocity of about 330 km/s with respect to the mean cluster velocity. We do not measure a significant peculiar motion for the cD galaxy. We also do not find evidence of substructure in this cluster or deviations from normality of the galaxy velocity distribution.
