Abstract : In this paper, we present the correlation between structural properties and morphology of galaxies in the central region of Coma Cluster for 221 objects within the apparent magnitude range m < 19.5. The data is taken from the HST/ACS Coma Cluster Treasury Survey and Source Extractor Catalogue compiled by Hammer et. al. 2010. For cluster membership we have used photometric redshifts of Michard et. al. 2008 & Edwards et. al.,2002 and spectroscopic redshifts of SDSS DR9 catalog. We present multiple component decompositions using Galfit. From the investigation of correlations of effective radius, Sersic index, absolute magnitude and bulge to total light ratio, we find that giants constitute 73%, Dwarf galaxies constitute 24% and the remaining 3% are Spirals+Irr+Ring. We observed that multiple component fits are best for giants and the single Sersic fit is best for Dwarfs & Spiral galaxies.
