Abstract

Samples of groups, clusters and superclusters of galaxies have been collected from existing catalogs. The group sample consisted of 70 systems, the list of clusters contains 50 systems, and there are five superclusters. Kinematical and dynamical characteristics are obtained — elongation (along the line of sight, RA and Dec), velocity statistics, total luminosity, harmonic radius, mean pair separation, crossing time, virial mass …We have compared some of the observational features with dynamical models of groups, clusters and superclusters. Aarseth’s (1985) code is used.
