Scientific paper

The Hercules Cluster shows a high degree of sub-structure and contains a relatively high fraction of spiral galaxies, suggesting that the cluster is currently being assembled via the merger of several smaller groups. This suggests that the cluster is at a relatively early stage in its development; one typically seen in much higher redshift clusters. This makes the Hercules cluster an excellent place to study the affects of the cluster assembly process on the galaxies in the cluster, since it is easily studied with modest observing resources. I present here the results of a narrow band H-Alpha survey of the cluster, and an analysis of the current state of star formation in the cluster using the data from the survey.
