In this Wikipedia page I'm going to edit I will add: where it is located in space, how far away it is from earth, what abell 1413 consist of, how it came to form, and pictures of the galaxy cluster.Cbronsing1 (talk) 01:47, 8 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

A suggestion I have is to add citations to the first paragraph, as it is completely empty. Wikipedia has a few [Citation Needed]'s placed in the article when you open it in edit mode, and I think that would be a good place to start.

This article needs serious rework. edit

This is such an interesting and greatly studied galaxy cluster in the literature. The article's state as of the moment is just a general description of the Abell catalogue and some surface details. Five decades of astronomical literature is behind this galaxy cluster.

Might do a large rework of this, especially concerning the Abell 1413 BCG. SkyFlubbler (talk) 05:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

To clarify, This galaxy is mentioned multiple times to be among the largest galaxies known, and at an earlier date than IC 1101. https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012A%26A...548A..18C/abstract, https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1976ApJ...209..693O (harvard.edu)--The Space Enthusiast (talk) 16:53, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Uson and Boughn 2003 edit

While searching for material to be added onto the article I found this: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1086/319962. It studies several clusters, once of which is Abell 1413, and it mentions that the ICL can be traced out for more than 1 Megaparsecs from the cluster center. It then cites a paper called "Uson and Boughn 2003", but I could not find it anywhere. Does anyone have any clues as to where this paper is?--The Space Enthusiast (talk) 03:51, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The link you've posted points to a 2001 paper by Dale et al. It doesn't mention anything by Uson and Boughn, as far as I can see. Did you post the correct link? TowardsTheLight (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oops, my bad. IT is actually this one:https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2003AJ....126..675D/abstract The Space Enthusiast (talk) 20:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I cannot find anything that matches that paper in either the Astrophysics Data System or the Arxiv preprint server. As Dale & Uson referred to it as "Uson, J. M., & Boughn, S. P. 2003, in preparation", we might expect it would have appeared in print around 2003-2005, but I can't find anything. Perhaps the paper was never published.

Sad... I wanted to add more data to it, probably because it has important data about the colossal central galaxy. The Space Enthusiast (talk) 20:22, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
