Scientific paper

We quantify the incidence of galaxy-galaxy mergers in ten intermediate redshift (0.4 < z < 0.8) clusters selected from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EdisCS). Merger candidates are selected from spectroscopically-confirmed cluster members and classified using HST ACS imaging. We investigate 24um properties using Spitzer MIPS data in an effort to quantify star-formation in both early-type and late-type mergers. Preliminary results of the incidence and properties of the merging galaxies relative to the overall cluster population are presented and interpreted in terms of galaxy evolution and elliptical galaxy formation models.
