Description
We constrain the mass profile and orbital structure of nearby groups and clusters of galaxies. Our method yields the joint probability distribution of the density slope n, the velocity anisotropy {beta}, and the turnover radius r_0_ for these systems. The measurement technique does not use results from N-body simulations as priors. We incorporate 2419 new redshifts (included here) in the fields of 41 systems of galaxies with z<0.04.
