6. Summary

We measured redshifts and velocity dispersion for two ACO clusters and a new cluster we identified on prime-focus plates, which had been previously included as part of the poor ACO cluster S0102 by Abell et al. (1989). As expected, they are medium-distant clusters, with redshifts between 0.16 and 0.25. For A 3889 and Cl 0053-37, we estimated also virial masses, finding respectively tex2html_wrap_inline1751 and tex2html_wrap_inline1753. We have presented strong evidence for a supercluster or wall at tex2html_wrap_inline1241, to which Cl 0053-37 belongs. This research has made use of: DIRA2, developed by the Astronet Working Group on Database and Documentation in Bologna, Italy; the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration; the Digitized Sky Surveys (DSS), which were produced at the Space Telescope Science Institute under U.S. Government grant NAG W-2166. The images of these surveys are based on photographic data obtained using the Oschin Schmidt Telescope on Palomar Mountain and the UK Schmidt Telescope. The plates were processed into the present compressed digital form with the permission of these institutions.
