Abstract:
    An optical photometric observation with the
    Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut multicolor system is carried out
    for the central region of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 2634.
    From the 2Kx2K CCD images with 14 filters, which cover a range of
    wavelength from 3600 to 10000{AA}, 5572 sources are detected down to
    V~20mag in a field of 56'x56' centered on this regular cluster of
    galaxies. As a result, we achieved the spectral energy distributions
    (SEDs) of all sources detected. There are 178 previously known
    galaxies included in our observations, 147 of which have known radial
    velocities in the literature. After excluding the foreground and
    background galaxies, a sample of 124 known members is formed for an
    investigation of the SED properties. The comparison of observed SEDs
    of the early-type member galaxies with the template SEDs demonstrates
    the accuracy and reliability of our photometric measurements.
