Abell 2390 is a massive galaxy cluster located in the constellation Pegasus.[4] It is classified as an X-ray and rich galaxy clusters measured cooling rate of 200-300 Mʘyr-1.[5] The galaxy cluster contains a cD galaxy called Abell 2390 BCG (short for brightest cluster galaxy), associated with a complex radio source, B2151+141.[6][7]

A study has been conducted on the galaxy members of Abell 2390 and finds each of them have different morphology classifications.[8] Further evidence also points out only a few galaxies show star formations, indicating starbursts play no major role in propelling the galaxy cluster's evolution.[9]

Based on weak gravitational distortion of galaxies lying in the background, dark matter distribution is detected in Abell 2390.[10] Its X-ray distribution in the cluster is elliptical and distorted by its sub-structure on a large scale according to an X-ray ROSAT/HRI observation.[11]
