Template:Infobox galaxy cluster/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox galaxy cluster. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Infobox for articles on galaxy groups and galaxy clusters. Intended for the creation of new galaxy cluster pages and for updating older pages with outdated infoboxes.

Parameters
name
Name of the object wikilinked to the parent catalog page, i.e. Abell 370, NGC 7318, etc.
image
Associated image of the object: [[Image:name.png|300px]]
Text underneath the image.
credit
To whom do we owe this great pleasure?
epoch
Equatorial coordinates based on which epoch? If other than J2000, please find or convert to J2000.
constellation
Wikilink to constellation.
ra
{{RA|00|00}}
dec
{{DEC|±00|00}}
brightest_member
The brightest (visible) member.
member_no
The number of galaxies belonging to the cluster, out to (at least) the virial radius.
richness
Abell (or related) richness class. Based on number of members within a magnitude range of m3 to m3+2, where m3 is the magnitude of the third brightest member of the cluster. Not to be mistaken for the total number of galaxies in the cluster. Link to the digital version of the entire Abell Catalog is here.
bmtype
Bautz-Morgan classification type is available via NASA Extragalactic Database (NED) or the digital version of the Abell Catalog.
velocity_dispersion
Velocity dispersion of the cluster (as opposed to of only the core).
redshift
- z, if ≳ 0.2 :
0.8
- z (km/s), if ≲ 0.2 :
0.0717 (21 500 km/s)
distance
NED's default value for the dimensionless Hubble parameter is 0.73 using the WMAP 3-year results, but one is able to change this to match the WMAP 5-year results with h=0.705.
- If measurement is left in 'units' of h:
{{hub|}}
gives h−1 - If h=0.73 is used:
{{hub|0.73}}
gives h−1
0.73 {{convert|100|Mpc|Mly|2|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.73}}
gives 100 Mpc (326.16 Mly) h−1
0.73{{convert|100|+/-|20|Mpc|Mly|abbr=on|lk=on}} {{hub|0.73}}
gives 100 ± 20 Mpc (326 ± 65 Mly) h−1
0.73- Use Gpc as appropriate and/or feel free to leave off the light-year conversion if it becomes unwieldy. Parsecs are less ambiguous and are preferred over light-years, especially at cosmological distances (and also at nearby distances were parallaxes can be measured).
temperature
X-ray temperature of the intracluster medium, usually given in keV.
mass
1.4{{e|14}} {{hub|0.70}} [[solar mass|M<sub>☉</sub>]]
gives 1.4×1014 h−1
0.70 M☉
luminosity
- X-ray luminosity, usually given in erg s-1 for some keV range.
1.4{{e|14}} [[erg]] s<sup>-1</sup> (0.1—2.4 [[electron volt|keV]])
gives 1.4×1014 erg s-1 (0.1—2.4 keV)
flux
- X-ray flux, usually given in erg s-1 cm-2 for some keV range.
(1.4 ± 0.2){{e|-11}} [[erg]] s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> (0.1—2.4 [[electron volt|keV]])
gives (1.4 ± 0.2)×10−11 erg s-1 cm-2 (0.1—2.4 keV)
other_names
Please don't list all the cross-identifications in NED for each object.
