Scientific paper

We have studied the quantitative morphology of the galaxies of the Coma cluster brighter than mr=17. The surface brightness profiles of all galaxies were decomposed into the structural components: bulge and disc. We found a correlation between the scale length of the discs and the location in the cluster. Galaxies located at small projected distances show smaller discs than those located in the outermost regions of the cluster. We have also investigated the correlation betwenn the B-r color of the galaxies and their environment. For late-type galaxies there is a correlation between the color and the position in the cluster. The bluest galaxies are located in the outermost regions of the cluster and show the largest discs. These results can be explained in terms of galaxy harassment.
