Abstract:
We present complete multicolor photometry in the Gunn system for the three
clusters of galaxies A3284, A3305 and A1942 at redshift z~0.2. INVENTORY
magnitudes and colours have been obtained for over 1,000 objects in the
three fields down to g=24, and with a good completeness level in the
detections (85% or better) about one magnitude brighter. By fitting with
King profiles the r counts we derived the total number of galaxies and the
core radius down to the r magnitude limit in each cluster. These are
N_TOT_=146 galaxies and R_c_=0.24 Mpc for A3284, N_TOT_=129 and R_c_=0.20
Mpc for A3305, N_TOT_=130 and R_c_=0.24 Mpc for A1942. The observed mean
redshift of the clusters is z=0.150+/-0.001 for A3284, z=0.157+/-0.001
for A3305, and z=0.226+/-0.001 for A1942. The c-m diagrams and the g-i
colour distribution as well as the two-colour diagrams are used to single
out early-type galaxies and spirals on the basis of their different
photometric properties. This approach aimed at a self-consistent
classification of galaxies on the basis of photometric indicators will be
further developed for a systematic study of the galaxy population in
distant clusters.
