Abstract

AbstractAn increasing amount of data has revealed that many clusters are very complex systems. Optical analyses show that several clusters contain subsystems of galaxies suggesting that they are still in the phase of relaxation, possibly after a phase of cluster merging. I briefly review the main results about substructure, and the connection between cluster dynamical status and galaxy properties. Useful comparisons with the results derived from X-ray data are also discussed.
