By studying the morphology--cluster-centric-radius relation, we have found two characteristic environments where galaxy morphologies change dramatically. We found passive spiral galaxies in the infalling region of clusters. They are likely to be a galaxy population in transition due to the cluster environment. We also studied E+A galaxies, which have also been thought to be cluster originated. We found that E+As live in all environments including the field region.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-12-01T21:49:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "sdss data", "environmental effects", "galaxy evolution", "uniform galaxy cluster catalog", "cluster galaxies evolve" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 634337 } } }
