A search for additional parameters in the infrared luminosity/21 cm line-width relation for spiral galaxies in clusters of galaxies.

The relationship first pointed out by Tully and Fisher between the luminosity of spiral galaxies and their maximum rotation velocity, as measured by the 21 cm line-width, continues to be one of the best methods available to measure relative distances. At infrared wavelengths, the observational scatt...
