Abstract:
Broad-band surface photometry in V, R and I colors is presented for three elliptical galaxies immersed in hot intracluster gas emitting X-rays due to thermal bremsstrahlung. The galaxies are (1) a cD galaxy, and (2) a radio bright galaxy with a narrow angle tail in the cluster of galaxies, 2A0335+096, and (3) NGC 3607 in a small nearby group of galaxies. Strong H-alpha emission from NGC 3607 has also been imaged. Detection of a dust ring in NGC 3607 is being reported here for the first time
