Hidden Spiral Features in Cluster Dwarfs

We develop an advanced technique for uncovering and accurately measuring the amount of spiral features, disturbed features, star-forming regions, shells and tidal streams, hidden within cluster galaxies. We apply this method to the latest in deep imaging surveys nearby clusters and groups. We also conduct numerical simulations to better understand the observed features, and what they can tell us about the evolution of such galaxies.
