The Morphology Dependence of Luminosity Segregation in the Coma Cluster

Abstract

We carry out CCD photometry of galaxies in the 5.25 deg2 region centered on the Coma Cluster down to which is beyond the limit of conventional morphological classication. We use M R \ [16.0, the angular two-point correlation function as well as radial proles in order to characterize the luminosity segregation. We nd strong luminosity segregation for our total sample over the magnitude range of which is not entirely accounted for in terms of the morphology-density relation
