Abstract
In the cores of galaxy clusters there is a population of lows-mass stellar systems such as dwarf Early-type galaxies, ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) and ultra diffuse dwarf galaxies. We present here the photometric and morphological characterization of this population of objects using deep CFHT images of a sample of clusters belonging to the WINGS survey (0.04 < z < 0.06). We study only galaxies that are spectroscopically confirmed members of the cluster. The population of dwarfs ranges from ∽ 30% for the more rich clusters to ∽ 5-6% for the less rich ones.
