Distant Galaxy Clusters Identified from Optical Background Fluctuations
We present the first high redshift (0.3 < z < 1.1) galaxy clusters found by systematically identifying optical low surface brightness fluctuations in the background sky. Using spectra obtained with the Keck telescope and I-band images from the Palomar 1.5m telescope, we conclude that at least eight of the ten candidates examined are high redshift galaxy clusters. The identification of such clus...
متن کاملOptical and Near-Infrared Photometry of Distant Galaxy Clusters
We present optical and near-infrared photometry of 45 clusters of galaxies at 0.1 < z < 1.3. Galaxy catalogs in each cluster were defined at the longest wavelenth available, generally the K-band, down to approximately two magnitudes below M∗. We include finding chart images of the band used for catalog definition. The photometry has been used in previously published papers to examine the origin...
متن کاملEisily Looking for Distant Galaxy Clusters
We present a new algorithm to search for distant clusters of galaxies on catalogues deriving from imaging data, as those of the ESO Imaging Survey. We discuss the advantages of our technique relative to the ones developed before and present preliminary results of its application to the I–band data of the survey’s
متن کاملX-ray Surveys of Distant Galaxy Clusters
I review recent observational progress in the search for and study of distant galaxy clusters in the X-ray band, with particular emphasis on the evolution of the abundance of X-ray clusters out to z ∼1. Several on-going deep X-ray surveys have led to the discovery of a sizeable population of clusters at z > 0.5 and have the sensitivity to detect clusters beyond redshift one. These surveys have ...
متن کاملQuantifying Substructure Using Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing in Distant Clusters
We present high-resolution mass reconstructions for five massive cluster-lenses spanning a redshift range from z = 0.18–0.57 utilizing archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data and applying galaxy-galaxy lensing techniques. These detailed mass models were obtained by combining constraints from the observed strong and weak lensing regimes. Quantifying the local weak distortions in the shear map...
