Scientific paper

We report the results of an attempt to study the velocity structure of the core of the cluster A2218 in order to probe its dynamical state. The aim is to understand if the core is indeed virialized? relaxed? or in hydrodynamic equilibrium? We use cluster lensing data in conjunction with the optical galaxy data to solve in detail for the nature of galaxy orbits and the velocity anisotropy in the core. We present our preliminary results below.
