The transformation of Spirals into S0 galaxies in the cluster environment

We discuss the observational evidences of the morphological transformation of Spirals into S0 galaxies in the cluster environment exploiting two big databases of galaxy clusters: WINGS (0.04<z<0.07)andEDisCS(0.4<z<0.8).The most important results are: 1) the average number of S0 galaxies...
