Abstract
Absolute spectral energy distributions have been obtained for galaxies in three distant clusters. Com- parison with the energy distribution of the integrated light from nearby giant elliptical galaxies yields redshifts and information concerning evolutionary effects. The Hydra cluster (0855+0321) gives the known result that z = 0.20. A galaxy in the cluster (0024+ 1654) yields z = 0.38, and the absorption spectrum of 3C 295 gives z = 0.46 which agrees with Minkowski's redshift. All have errors of ± 0.01. The energy distributions for these galaxies show no evidence within the accuracy of the data for any evolution during the last 3 to 6 billion years. There is a suggestion that below 2800 A the spectral energy distribution for 3C 295 may flatten in a fashion analogous to that observed in nearby galaxies with OAO-2. I. INTRODUCTIO
