Description
The morphological types of galaxies in nine clusters in the redshift range 0.1<~z<~0.25 are derived from very good seeing images taken at the North Optical Telescope (NOT) and the La Silla-Danish telescopes, with all galaxies at M_V_<-20 and within the central ~1Mpc^2^ area being classified. With the purpose of investigating the evolution of the fraction of different morphological types with redshift, we compare our results with the morphological content of nine distant clusters studied by the MORPHS group, five clusters observed with HST/WFPC2 at redshift z=0.2-0.3, and Dressler's large sample of nearby clusters.
