Improved models for the evolution of the Coma cluster of galaxies

The analysis by Fitchett & Webster of the observations of the Coma cluster of galaxies has demonstrated that the center of the Coma Cluster consists of two subclusters. Therefore, it is important to construct realistic dynamical models of a galaxy cluster with two mass centers. Our previous N-body models for the Coma Cluster consisted of point masses or particles with simple interaction properties. In the current paper, we employ a more sophisticated N-body code, which includes dynamical friction, mass exchange, and mergers between galaxies.
