Abstract
We review here the interplay of cluster and galaxy evolution. As a case study, we consider the Butcher-Oemler effect and propose that it is the result of the changing rate of cluster merger events in a hierarchical universe. This case study highlights the need for new catalogs of clusters and groups that possess quantified morphologies. We present such a sample here, namely the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) C4 Catalog, which has been objectively-selected from the SDSS spectroscopic galaxy sample. We outline here the C4 algorithm and present first results based on the SDSS Early Data Release, including an X-ray luminosity-velocity dispersion (Lx-συ) scaling relationship (as a function of cluster morphology) and the density-SFR relation of galaxies within C4 clusters (Gomez et al., 2003). We also discuss the merger of Coma and the NGC4839 group and its effect on the galaxy populations in these systems. We finish with a brief discussion of a new sample of Hδ-selected galaxies (i.e., k + a, post-starburst galaxies) obtained from the SDSS spectroscopic survey.
In this review, we investigate the interplay of cluster and galaxy evolution. We do so via two case studies: First, the relation between the Butcher-Oemler effect and the changing rate of cluster merger events in a hierarchical universe. Secondly, a study of the distribution of post-starburst galaxies in, the around, the Coma Cluster of Galaxies.
