Abstract:
We present the results of a program to study the detailed morphologies
of galaxies in intermediate-redshift clusters and hence understand the
physical origin of the enhanced star formation seen in the
environments at earlier epochs. Deep, high-resolution imagery has been
obtained of three rich clusters, AC 103, AC 118 and AC 114 at z=0.31,
through the R (F702W) filter of the Wide Field Planetary Camera
(WFPC2) of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

Note (3): Identity number of each object in SExtractor catalog derived from our
WFPC2 images.
The absence of entry indicates that the object lies outside the
WFPC2 field.
Note (4): The presence of a colon denotes that the measurement is based on just
one line emission, assumed in all cases to be [O II] λ3727.
Note (5): Psv(pec): galaxies whose spectra have all the same characteristics
as the passive types but whose colors are marginally bluer.
