Abstract

We present a study of the morphologies and stellar content of the galaxies in the central ∼ 74”×64” region of the galaxy cluster Abell 2218 (see Fig. 1). The spectroscopic data were obtained with the integral field unit PMAS (Roth et al. 2005) in the PPAK mode (Verheijen et al. 2004; Kelz et al. 2006), at the 3.5 m telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory. The covered wavelength range was 4650–8000 Å, with a spectral resolution FWHM∼ 10Å. These data were combined with with deep HST/ACS F475W, F555W, F625W and F850LP imaging, and additional data from the literature.
