I'm familiar with galactic rotational curves and there are plenty of graphs depicting such curves, but I'm interested in the rotation curves of entire galactic clusters at the moment and I'm not too good with sifting through what shows up in the search engines. (not a physicist, just a hobbyist) Has anyone graphed the rotation curve of any cluster? What I'm interested in learning is:
1) the locations of the galaxies involved relative to the axis of rotation of the cluster (not all, just a handful but at varying distances from the axis)
2) the velocities of these galaxies around the axis of rotation.
3) (optional) The single dimension location of the galaxy along the axis
3) these things depicted in a graph or in the absence of that, the spreadsheet or chart.
I would think this would be out there somewhere, but I'm at a loss how to find it, but perhaps someone here is actually doing work on this sort of thing.
Thanks,
