摘要
We present an analysis of the spatial orientations of 851 galaxies in 7 Abell clusters of BM type III ( type III in the Bautz-Morgan system). Anisotropy is found in all 7 clusters. It is found that the spin vector orientations of the galaxies in the clusters of BM type III tend to be oriented both parallel ( Abell 1412, Abell 2048 and Abell 4038) and perpendicular ( Abell 2061, Abell 2065, Abell 2151 and Abell 2197) to the local supercluster plane. The spin vector projections of galaxies in 5 clusters ( Abell 2061, Abell 2065, Abell 2151, Abell 2197 and Abell 4038) is found to be oriented perpendicular to the Virgo cluster center.
