The paper ``Suppressed radio emission in supercluster galaxies: enhanced ram pressure in merging clusters'' was published in A&A 475, 169. There is a double typographical error in Appendix A. In Eqs. (A.2) and (A.9), which both express the squared aperture velocity dispersion of a respectively general and NFW (Navarro et al. 1996) spherical system, there is a factor 3 missing in the terms in front of the integrals, so that the squared aperture velocity dispersion should be 3 times smaller than given[*]. These two equations should thus read

\begin{displaymath}\sigma_{\rm ap}^2 (R) = {4\pi~G\over 3~M_{\rm p}(R)}~\left [\...
... {(r^2\!-\!R^2)^{3/2}\over r^2}~\rho(r)
M(r)~{\rm d}r \right ]
\end{displaymath} (A.2)

and


\begin{displaymath}\widetilde \sigma_v^2 (Y~r_{\rm vir}/c) = {c\over 3~g}~
{\int...
...1}(1/Y) / \left \vert Y^2-1\right\vert^{1/2} + \ln(Y/2)} \cdot
\end{displaymath} (A.9)

However, all other equations (in particular Eqs. (A.10) and (A.11)) are correct as is the accompanying discussion.

Note that the derivation of Eq. (A.9) involves not only Eq. (A.2) of Mauduit & Mamon (2007) and Eq. (42) of okas & Mamon (2001), but also Eq. (43) of okas & Mamon.
