Notes. The masses and the distances of galaxies are taken from Van den Bergh et al. (2000). The distance of clusters are calculated from redshift data available at Nasa Extragalactic Database (NED1).

Reference. The masses are taken from Fouqué et al. (2001), Nasonova et al. (2011), Boehringer et al. (1996), Hopp & Materne (1985), Gavazzi et al. (2009).
