Abstract:
    Spectroscopic data and density counts are presented for this southern
    cluster, which seems to belong to the outskirts of the Shapley 8
    concentration (= A 3558 = SC 1326-311). Using telescopes at the Cerro
    Tololo Interamerican Observatory and La Silla Observatory a total of
    72 galaxy velocities were measured giving a mean redshift of 0.0384
    and a global velocity dispersion of 1022 (+99, -77) km/s. A
    preliminary analysis of velocity and density data suggests the
    presence of various subgroups. The central core of the cluster is
    dominated by a very elongated, distorded and diffuse cD galaxy. This
    cluster may be an example where the cD was formed early in the
    collapse process of a cluster which has not reached overall
    virialization yet. The derived X-ray luminosity of ~2x10^44^erg/s in
    the 2-6keV band places this cluster in the group of strong X-ray
    cluster sources.
