Abstract
We report the results of the study of red-sequence (RS) galaxies in 47 galaxy clusters (0.023 < z < 0.047) located in different environments: in the superclusters Hercules and Leo, and in the field, based on the SDSS catalog data. In the Open image in new window interval, the number of bright RS dwarf galaxies in galaxy clusters increaseswith the X-ray luminosity of the cluster as logN ∝ logX0.64. The dwarf-to-giant ratio (DGR) does not depend on the surroundings, mass, or richness of the cluster. This ratio is seen to increase for galaxy clusters with log LX > 43.5 erg/s or σ > 520 km/s. The compositeDGR of galaxy clusters, determined both from the membership in different structures and the X-ray luminosity along the radius R200, is minimum in the central regions of the clusters (about 0.6 ± 0.06), reaches a maximum within 0.3–0.9R200 (about 0.9 ± 0.10), and decreases approximately to 0.7 ± 0.03 upon reaching the radius 1.4 R200.
