Abstract

Colors and magnitudes, obtained from Palomar 48 inch (1.2 m) Schmidt plates in the J and F bands, and morphological types are presented for galaxies in the cores of 10 nearby clusters of galaxies. In the typical cluster, the sample includes all galaxies within a radius of 1.5 Mpc (assuming H(0) = 50 km/s/Mpc) of the cluster center and brighter than J = 17.5.The accuracy of the photometry varies with cluster, but most magnitudes are accurate to 0.10 mag, and typical errors in the colors are of the same order. As expected, the colors of the elliptical and S0 galaxies show a narrow dispersion about a mean color which decreases with magnitude. However, the colors of the spiral galaxies are not entirely as expected, having a smaller dispersion than would have been predicted from their morphological types.
