Abstract

Aims. Environmental effects gain importance as large scale structures in the Universe develop with time and have become the dominant mechanism for quenching galaxies of intermediate and low stellar masses at lower redshifts. Therefore, clusters of galaxies at z< 0.5 are the sites where environmental effects are expected to be more pronounced and more easily observed with present-day large telescopes.
