Galaxy morphology in rich clusters: implications for the formation and evolution of galaxies
Journal Article
·
· Astrophys. J.; (United States)
A study of the galaxy populations in 55 rich clusters is presented together with a discussion of the implications for the formation and/or evolution of different morphological types. A well-defined relationship is found between local galaxy density and galaxy type, which, in agreement with previous studies, indicates an increasing elliptical and SO population and a corresponding decrease in spirals with increasing density.
