A Redshift Survey of Nearby Galaxy Groups: The Shape of the Mass Density Profile
We constrain the mass profile and orbital structure of nearby groups andclusters of galaxies. Our method yields the joint probabilitydistribution of the density slope n, the velocity anisotropy β, andthe turnover radius r0 for these systems. The measurementtechnique does not use results from N-body simulations as priors. Weincorporate 2419 new redshifts (included here) in the fields of 41systems of galaxies with z<0.04. The new groups have median velocitydispersion σ=360 km s-1. We also use 979 archivedredshifts in the fields of eight nearly relaxed clusters with z<0.1.Within R<~2r200, the data are consistent with a singlepower-law matter density distribution with slope n=1.8-2.2 for systemswith σ<470 km s-1 and n=1.6-2.0 for those withσ>470 (95% confidence). We show that a simple, scale-freephase-space distribution function (DF)f(E,L2)~(-E)α-1/2L-2β isconsistent with the data as long as the matter density has a cusp. Usingthis DF, matter density profiles with constant-density cores (n=0) areruled out with better than 99.7% confidence.

A search for Low Surface Brightness galaxies in the near-infrared. II. Arecibo H I line observations
A total of 367 Low Surface Brightness galaxies detected in the 2MASSall-sky near-infrared survey have been observed in the 21 cm H I lineusing the Arecibo telescope. All have a Ks-band mean centralsurface brightness, measured within a 5'' radius, fainter than 18 magarcsec-2. We present global H I line parameters for the 107clearly detected objects and the 21 marginal detections, as well asupper limits for the undetected objects. The 107 clear detectionscomprise 15 previously uncatalogued objects and 36 with a PGC entryonly.Tables \ref{tab2}, \ref{tab4}, \ref{tab4b}, 5a, 5b and Figs. 2, 3 areonly available in electronic form at http://www.edpsciences.org

A search for Low Surface Brightness galaxies in the near-infrared. I. Selection of the sample
A sample of about 3800 Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies wasselected using the all-sky near-infrared (J, H and Ks-band)2MASS survey. The selected objects have a mean central surfacebrightness within a 5'' radius around their centre fainter than 18 magarcsec-2 in the Ks band, making them the lowestsurface brightness galaxies detected by 2MASS. A description is given ofthe relevant properties of the 2MASS survey and the LSB galaxy selectionprocedure, as well as of basic photometric properties of the selectedobjects. The latter properties are compared to those of other samples ofgalaxies, of both LSBs and ``classical'' high surface brightness (HSB)objects, which were selected in the optical. The 2MASS LSBs have aBT_c-KT colour which is on average 0.9 mag bluerthan that of HSBs from the NGC. The 2MASS sample does not appear tocontain a significant population of red objects.All tables and Figs. 2a-c are only available in electronic form athttp://www.edpsciences.org

The Dynamics of Poor Systems of Galaxies
We assemble and observe a sample of poor galaxy systems that is suitablefor testing N-body simulations of hierarchical clustering and otherdynamical halo models. We (1) determine the parameters of the densityprofile rho(r) and the velocity dispersion profile sigma_p(R), (2)separate emission-line galaxies from absorption-line galaxies, examiningthe model parameters and as a function of spectroscopic type, and (3)for the best-behaved subsample, constrain the velocity anisotropyparameter, beta, which determines the shapes of the galaxy orbits. Oursample consists of 20 systems, 12 of which have extended X-ray emissionin the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. We measure the 877 optical spectra ofgalaxies brighter than m_R~15.4 within 1.5 h^-1 Mpc of the systemcenters (we take H_0=100 h km s^-1 Mpc^-1). Thus, we sample the systemmembership to a radius typically three times larger than other recentoptical group surveys. The average system population is 30 galaxies, andthe average line-of-sight velocity dispersion is ~300 km s^-1. TheNavarro, Frenk, & White universal profile and the Hernquist modelboth provide good descriptions of the spatial data. In most cases anisothermal sphere is ruled out. Systems with declining sigma_p(R) arewell-matched by theoretical profiles in which the star-forming galaxieshave predominantly radial orbits (beta>0) many of these galaxies areprobably falling in for the first time. There is significant evidencefor spatial segregation of the spectroscopic classes regardless ofsigma_p(R).
