The Shapley Concentration is the richest supercluster of clusters in the nearby universe and its core is a remarkable complex formed by the ACO clusters A3558, A3562 and A3556, and by the two minor groups SC 1327-312 and SC 1329-314. This…
(abridged) We present the results of a redshift survey of intercluster galaxies in the central region of the Shapley Concentration supercluster, aimed at determining the distribution of galaxies in between obvious overdensities. Our sample…
We present the results of a redshift survey of galaxies in the A3528 complex, a chain of interacting clusters in the core of the Shapley Concentration. This complex is characterized in the X-ray band by two pairs of roughly similar…

We present an overview of a multi-wavelength survey of the Shapley supercluster (SSC; z~0.05) covering a contiguous area of 260 h^-2_70 Mpc^2 including the supercluster core. The project main aim is to quantify the influence of…
We report 2868 new multi-object spectroscopic measurements of galaxy redshifts in an area roughly 12\deg$\times$ 6\deg (right ascension $\times$ declination) centered on the Shapley Supercluster (SSC). These correspond to 2627 different…
The core region is dominated by three rich Abell clusters and two poor clusters. Their spatial distributions of gas temperature and metal abundance provide us with information on the interactions and motions of member clusters. From eight…
We present an analysis of a mosaic of ROSAT PSPC and Einstein Observatory IPC X-ray observations of 14 clusters and 2 groups of galaxies, enclosed in a sky area 15 degrees by 20 degrees centred on A3558 within the Shapley Supercluster…
We present new radial velocities for 306 bright (R<16) galaxies in a 77 square deg region of the Shapley supercluster measured with the FLAIR-II spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The galaxies we measured were uniformly distributed…
We present the results of a pointed ROSAT PSPC observation of the cluster A3558 which is part of the core of the Shapley Concentration. The X-ray brightness distribution can be fitted as the sum of an elliptical King law, with a major core…
We report 102 new redshifts and magnitudes for a sample of galaxies to RF ~ 15.5 mag in a 2.17 deg x 2.17 deg region centered on the galaxy IC 4296, the most luminous member of the A3565 cluster. Up to the limiting magnitude we find 29…
We investigate the dynamical properties of the cluster of galaxies A3558 (Shapley 8). Studying a region of one square degree ($\sim$ 3 Mpc$^2$) centered on the cluster cD galaxy, we have obtained a statistically complete photometric catalog…
In this paper we present new AAOmega spectroscopy of 254 galaxies within a 30' radius around Abell 3888. We combine these data with the existing redshifts measured in a one degree radius around the cluster and performed a substructure…
The core of the Shapley supercluster (A3556, A3558, SC1327-312, SC1329-313, and A3562) is an ideal region in which to study the effects of cluster mergers on the activity of individual galaxies. This paper presents the most comprehensive…
We present the results of a study of the spectral properties of galaxies in the central part of the Shapley Concentration, covering an extremely wide range of densities, from the rich cluster cores to the underlying supercluster…
We present here the first results of a 22cm survey of the Shapley Concentration core. The observations were carried out with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. Our radio observations completely and uniformely cover the A3558 complex,…
The "algorithm driven by the density estimate for the identification of clusters" (DEDICA, Pisani 1993, 1996) is applied to the A3558 cluster complex in order to find substructures. This complex, located at the center of the Shapley…
