ADC_Keywords: Clusters, galaxy ; Redshifts Keywords: galaxies: elliptical and lenticular, cD - galaxies: evolution Abstract: Multifiber spectroscopy has been obtained for 335 galaxies in the field of the double cluster A3128/A3125, using the 2dF multifiber positioner on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. When combined with previously published results, a total of 532 objects in the double cluster now have known redshifts. We have also obtained a 20ks Chandra ACIS-I image of the central 16'x16' of A3128 and radio imaging of the cluster with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The spatial/kinematic distribution of redshifts in the field of A3128/A3125, when combined with the Chandra ACIS-I image of A3128, reveals a variety of substructures present in the galaxy distribution and in the hot intracluster medium (ICM).
