Distinguishing Local and Global Influences on Galaxy Morphology: An HST Comparison of High and Low X-ray Luminosity Clusters

Abstract:

(Abridged) We present a morphological analysis of 17 X-ray selected clusters at z~0.25, imaged uniformly with HST WFPC2. Eight of these clusters have low X-ray luminosities (<10^{44} erg/s), while the remaining nine clusters have L_x>10^{45} ergs/s. The clusters cover a relatively small range in redshift and the data are homogeneous in terms of depth, resolution and rest wavelength observed. We use GIM2D to fit the two dimensional surface brightness profiles of galaxies down to M(702)&l...
