Scientific paper

A comparison of the luminosity functions of galaxies belonging to clusters of different morphological types has been performed using photographic F band photometry of a uniform sample of Abell clusters. Statistically significant differences have been found between the average luminosity functions of late and early type clusters. Core and linear clusters appear intermediate between cD and flat or irregular clusters. The results support the notion that the morphological Rood and Sastry types correspond to an evolutionary sequence, where the luminosity function evolves through a merging process which affects preferentially the bright end of the cluster luminosity function.
