M. Fukugita et al., MORPHOLOGY CLASSIFICATION OF GALAXIES IN CL-0939-BASED TELESCOPE IMAGE(4713 USING A GROUND), The Astrophysical journal, 439(2), 1995, pp. 584-587
Morphological classification is studied for galaxies in cluster CL 093
9 + 4713 at z = 0.407 using simple photometric parameters obtained fro
m a ground-based telescope image with seeing of 1.''2 FWHM. By plottin
g the galaxies in a plane of the concentration parameter versus mean s
urface brightness, we find a good correlation between the location on
the plane and galaxy colors, which are known to correlate with morphol
ogical types from a recent Hubble Space Telescope study. Using the pre
sent method, we expect a success rate of classification into early and
late types of about 70% or possibly more.
