A classification scheme based on shapefinders deduced from the Minkowski functionals is examined to fully account for the morphological diversity of galaxy clusters, including relaxed and merging clusters, clusters fed by filamentary structures, and cluster-pair bridges. These configurations are conveniently treated with idealised geometric models and analytical formulae, some of which are novel. Examples from CLASH and LC$^2$ clusters and observed cluster-pair bridges are discussed.STAMPAenArticle10.1093/mnras/stab2742-s2.0-85117457309http://arxiv.org/abs/2101.12634v1https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-abstract/502/3/3911/6125953?redirectedFrom=fulltext&login=falseFIS/05 - ASTRONOMIA E ASTROFISICAERC sectors::Physical Sciences and Engineering::PE9 Universe sciences: astro-physics/chemistry/biology; solar systems; stellar, galactic and extragalactic astronomy, planetary systems, cosmology, space science, instrumentation::PE9_9 Clusters of galaxies and large scale structures
