Scientific paper

We present and discuss results concerning a study of stellar populations in the galaxies belonging to CL 0048-2942, a cluster at intermediate redshift (z = 0.64), and to the field. This study gives insight on the evolutionary stage of the cluster galaxies at different radial distances from the cluster centre. We find a population gradient within the cluster: centre galaxies host older stars whereas galaxies located towards the cluster outskirts are predominantly made of less evolved stars. This effect is even more pronounced as we move outside the cluster, into the field. This is interpreted as star formation being more intense in the field, or rather, suppressed within the cluster, particulary as we move towards its centre.
