Abstract

We investigated the galaxy morphology of 6 Abell clusters at z = 0.0784 - 0.145 based on deep images obtained using MegaCam on the CFHT. For hundreds of galaxies in our data, we classified their morphology based on criteria related to secular or merger related evolution. We found that the morphological mixture of galaxies varies considerably from cluster to cluster. This article contains a general description of our deep imaging campaign and preliminary results for galaxy morphologies in cluster environments.
