Stellar Populations, Butcher-Oemler Effect, Star Formation in Clusters
arXiv:astro-ph/0311429
Abstract
In this brief overview of the stellar populations of galaxies in clusters I highlight some of the most recent results, including the downsizing of the k+a population and the star formation--local density relation. I conclude discussing some open questions regarding the interpretation of the observational results, and speculating on the current meaning of the words ``primordial'' and ``environmental''.
