چکیده
We present some preliminary results related to a project aimed at studying the evolution of the galaxy population in rich environments by means of the Color-Magnitude relation and of the Fundamental Plane. We derive the NIR and optical structural parameters for a sample of galaxies in the cluster AC118 at z=0.31. We prove that reliable structural parameters of galaxies at z∼0.3 can be still derived from ground– based observations. The NIR effective radii, measured for the first time at this redshift, turn out to be significantly smaller than those derived from the optical data, providing new insight into the evolution of colour gradients in galaxies. 1

An analysis of the cluster environments around distant radio galaxies is presented, in particular the results from new NTT deep optical–IR imaging of the fields of radio sources at z ∼ 1.6. A net overdensity of K–band galaxies is found, together with a sharp peak in the angular cross–correlation amplitude, centred on the radio galaxies. This excess clustering is associated predominantly with re...

We have recently discovered a forming cluster around the radio galaxy MRC 1138-262 at redshift 2.2. Besides the population of Lyα emitting galaxies that have been confirmed spectroscopically, we have detected many candidate Hα emitters that seem to have a different spatial distribution from the other galaxies: they are more clustered towards the center of the cluster and seem to be distributed ...

The relationship of an AGN to its host galaxy is a crucial question in the study of galaxy evolution. We perform stellar population synthesis in the central regions of galaxies of different activity levels. A large number of stellar features are measured both in the optical and near-infrared. We find the nuclear stellar population to be related to the level of activity. These differences are no...
متن کاملEvolution of UV – NIR Structural Properties of Cluster Galaxies ⋆
Structural parameters (half light radius re, mean surface brightness <μ>e and Sersic index n) are derived for the galaxy cluster A209 at z = 0.21, in UV and optical restframe, and for the cluster EIS 0048 at z = 0.64, in UV, optical and NIR restframe. This data set, together with previous optical and NIR measurements for the cluster AC118 at z = 0.31, constitutes the first large sample (N ∼ 250...

Near-infrared VLT data of the GOODS-South area were used to look for galaxies at z∼7 down to a limiting magnitude of (J+Ks)AB=25.5. No high-redshift candidates were detected, and this provides clear evidence for a strong evolution of the luminosity function between z=6 and z=7, i.e. over a time interval of only ∼170 Myr. Our constraints provide evidence of a significant decline in the total sta...
