Abstract:
    We present the results of a study of streaming motion of galaxy
    clusters around the Giant Void (RA~13h, DE~40{deg}, z~0.11 and a
    diameter of 150/hMpc) in the distribution of rich Abell clusters. We
    used the Kormendy relation as a distance indicator taking into account
    galaxy luminosities. Observations were carried out in Kron-Cousins
    R_c_ system on the 6m and 1m telescopes of SAO RAS. For 17 clusters in
    a spherical shell of 25/hMpc in thickness centered on the void no
    significant diverging motion (expected to be generated by the mass
    deficit in the void) has been detected. This implies that cosmological
    models with low {Omega}_m_ are preferred. To explain small mass
    underdensity inside the Giant Void, a mechanism of void formation with
    strong biasing is required.

Description:
    Photometric parameters for 210 early-type galaxies in the central
    regions for 17 clusters around the Giant Void are presented. Galaxies
    in the following clusters have been observed:
    A1298, A1361, A1427, A1468, A1542, A1551, A1609, A1637, A1666,
    A1691, A1700, A1739, A1793, A1823, A1834, A1885, and A1894.
    For each galaxy equatorial coordinates, total magnitudes in R_c_
    (Kron-Cousins) band, effective radius, surface brightness and mean
    surface brightness are given. The derivation of the effective
    parameters takes the seeing into account.
