Description
In this paper we study the stellar populations of 356 bright, Mr<=-19, Coma cluster members located in a 2{deg} field centred on the cluster core using Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) spectroscopy. We find ~31 per cent of the sample have significant emission in H{beta}, [OIII]5007, H{alpha} or [NII]6585, due to star formation or active galactic nuclei (AGN)/LINER activity. The remaining portion of the sample we describe as passive or quiescent.
