UB V Observations of Field Galaxies
Abstract
New UB V observations are combined with published data from the literature to see if the metallicity index Q is different for cluster and noncluster galaxies. The noncluster galaxies were found to have a lower Q value, but the effect is attributed to a difference in mean absolute magnitude of the samples rather than a real difference in metallicity between cluster and noncluster galaxies.
