Distant Cluster Search: Welcoming Some Newcomers from the Eis
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a new automated cluster search algorithm, stressing its advantages relatively to others available in the literature. Applying it to the photometric data of the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS, Renzini & da Costa 1997) allowed us to produce, with a high degree of confidence, a new catalogue of cluster candidates up to z ≃ 1.1.

Distant Clusters of Galaxies in the Eso Imaging Survey
The results of a search for distant clusters of galaxies performed using the I-band data obtained by the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) are presented. Cluster candidates are identified using a matched filter algorithm, that provides not only an objective detection criterion, but also the means to estimate the cluster redshift and richness. A preliminary sample of distant clusters has been obtained, c...
متن کاملConfirming EIS Clusters Optical and Infrared Imaging
Clusters of galaxies are important targets in observationally cosmology, as they can be used both to study the evolution of the galaxies themselves and to constrain cosmological parameters. Here we report on the first results of a major effort to build up a sample of distant galaxy clusters to form the basis for further studies within those fields. We search for simultaneous overdensities in co...
متن کاملThe origin of X - ray emission of two distant ( z > 1 ) cluster candidates with XMM - Newton
We present here a study of XMM-Newton data of two distant galaxy cluster candidates. One of these was discovered serendipitously in near infrared data, CL J0533-2411, the other one corresponds to the cluster EIS J0533-2412 part of the EIS cluster survey. The estimated redshift of CL J0533-2411 is z = 1.2 − 1.7. EIS J0533-2412 is a rich system (Λcl = 299), with a spectroscopically confirmed reds...
متن کاملEISily looking for distant clusters of galaxies – a new algorithm and its application to the EIS-wide data
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. Our algorithm is a matched filter one, similar to that adopted by Postman et al. (1996), aiming at identifying cluster candidates by using positional and photometric data simultaneously. The main novelty of our approach is that spatial and luminosit...
متن کاملPhotometric Properties of Galaxy Population in the Cluster EIS 0048 - 2942 at z ∼ 0 . 64
Deep photometric data in the V-, R-, I-, zand K-bands for the cluster of galaxies EIS 0048-2942 are used to investigate the properties of the galaxy populations at z ∼ 0.64 in a field of 2.5 × 2.5 Mpc. The sample of candidate cluster members (N = 171) is selected by the photometric redshift technique and is complete up to I = 22.5. Galaxies were classified as spheroids and disks according to th...
