Abstract
A mechanism is proposed for recent formation of dwarf galaxies in the vicinity of active radio galaxies. In the cores of rich clusters these dwarf galaxies are stripped of gas and eventually suffer tidal disruption. This leads us to suggest that the Coma cluster of galaxies may be bound by intergalactic halo-type stars.
