Velocity dispersions and cluster properties in the SARS (Southern Abell   Redshift Survey) clusters. Paper II
  We report an analysis of the dynamical structure of clusters of galaxies from a survey of photometric and spectroscopic observations in the fields of southern Abell Clusters. We analyze the galaxy velocity field in extended regions up to 7 h^-1 Mpc from cluster centers and we estimate mean velocity dispersions and their radial dependence. Only one from a total number of 41 Abell clusters does not correspond to a dynamically bound system. However, four of these bound objects are double clusters. We estimate that 20 % (7 clusters) of the 35 remaining are subject to serious projection effects. Normalizing the clustercentric distances by means of the overdensity radius r_200, and the velocity dispersion profiles (VDPs) by the corresponding mean cluster velocity dispersion, we computed the average VDP. Our results indicate a flat behavior of the mean VDP at large distances from the cluster center. Nevertheless, we found that for the inner part of the clusters (r/r_200 leq 1) the VDP is up to a 10% smaller than at larger radii.
