[7.01] The Ellipticity of Clusters of Galaxies and Related Power Laws

Angela Linn (University of Kansas)

I will present in poster form the result of research exploring whether there is any correlation between the average ellipticity of cluster of galaxies in a given N-body simulation and the initial power spectrum used in the simulation. Also, research examining the possible correlation between the relative orientations of clusters' primary axes and their distance from each other to determine the effects of pancaking will be presented.
