De Propris, Roberto, Colless, Matthew, Peacock, John, Couch, Warrick, Driver, Simon, Balogh, Michael, ...

We derive the fraction of blue galaxies in a sample of clusters at z < 0.11 and the general field at the same redshift. The value of the blue fraction is observed to depend on the luminosity limit...
