Abstract The Gravitational Wave High-energy Electromagnetic Counterpart All-sky Monitor (GECAM) is a pair of microsatellites (i.e., GECAM-A and GECAM-B) dedicated to monitoring gamma-ray transients including the high-energy electromagnetic counterparts gravitational waves, such as bursts, soft repeaters, solar flares, terrestrial flashes.

We present a new deep spectroscopic catalogue for Abell 85, within 3.0 $\times$ 2.6 Mpc$^2$ and down to $M_{r} \sim M_{r}^* +6$. Using the Visible Multi-Object Spectrograph at Very Large Telescope (VIMOS@VLT) AutoFiber 2 William Herschel (AF2@WHT), we obtained almost 1,430 redshifts galaxies with $m_r \leq 21$ mag $\langle \mu_{e,r} \rangle 24$ arcsec$^{-2}$.

Context. The ubiquitous presence of the Fe line complex in X-ray spectra galaxy clusters offers possibility measuring their redshift without resorting to spectroscopic follow-up observations. In practice, blind search is a difficult task and affected not only by limited S/N (particularly at high redshift), but also several systematic errors, associated with varying abundance values, ICM temperature gradients, instrumental characteristics.

With σ -plateau algorithm caustic method, identify 868 members and a number substructures in distribution both outskirts, out to ∼3.5 Mpc center, central region. In one substructure overlaps falling clump gas previously identified X-ray band. These suggest presence multiple minor mergers, which...
