Abstract:
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 MV←20 and within the central ∼1Mpc2 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.

Note (1): Two entries for A2192:
l: Data refers to four contiguous Gunn r images covering a quite large area
s: Data relates to a smaller part of the cluster, for which (B-Gr) colors
of galaxies are available, thus allowing a more accurate photometric
calibration.

Note (2): The field galaxies have been determined from the galaxy number
counts given by Metcalfe et al (1995MNRAS.273..257M 1995MNRAS.273..257M) and the breakdown
into morphological classes (E/S0/Sp=18:27:56) was computed for our
limiting magnitudes at z∼0.2 from the fits to the differential
number counts of the Medium Deep Survey.
