Abstract

We combine HST WFPC mosaics of clusters at multiple redshifts with Keck LRIS spectroscopy to characterize different galaxy populations and how they evolve. By combining quantitative measurements of structural parameters with velocity dispersions, line indices, and morphological types, we attempt to establish links between ellipticals, S0's, E+A's, and later type galaxies. Here we focus on galaxies in CL1358+62, a massive cluster at z=0.33.
