In light of recent findings from the kinematic morphology–density relation, we investigate whether the same trends exist in the original morphology–density relation, using the same data as Dressler. In addition to Dressler's canonical relations, we find that further refinements are possible when considering the average local projected density of galaxies in a cluster. First, the distribution of el...
