The evolution of the colour - magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z ∼ 0 . 8

چکیده
We present recent results on the evolution of the colour-magnitude relation and of the star formation activity in galaxy clusters since z ∼ 0.8. Results are based on the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS) an ESO large programme aimed at the study of cluster structure and cluster galaxy evolution over a significant fraction of cosmic time and are discussed in the framework of the current standard paradigm of structure formation.

Scaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملEvolution of the colour-magnitude relation of early-type galaxies in distant clusters
We present a thorough quantitative analysis of the evolution of the colour-magnitude relation for earlytype galaxies in 17 distant clusters with redshifts 0.31 < z < 1.27 using the Kodama & Arimoto (1997) evolutionary model for elliptical galaxies. The model is calibrated to reproduce the colour-magnitude relation for Coma ellipticals at z ∼ 0 and gives the evolution of the slope and zero-point...
متن کاملThe evolution of the galaxy Red Sequence in simulated clusters and groups
N–body + hydrodynamical simulations of the formation and evolution of galaxy groups and clusters in a ΛCDM cosmology are used in order to follow the building-up of the colour-magnitude relation in two clusters and in 12 groups. We have found that galaxies, starting from the more massive, move to the Red Sequence (RS) as they get aged over times and eventually set upon a “dead sequence” (DS) onc...

baryonic matter distribution in the large-scale structures is one of the main questions in cosmology. This distribution can provide valuable information regarding the processes of galaxy formation and evolution. On the other hand, the missing baryon problem is still under debate. One of the most important cosmological structures for studying the rate and the distribution of the baryons is gal...
متن کاملReconstructing the History of Star Formation in Rich Cluster Cores
Our study begins by revisiting the photometric Butcher-Oemler effect using data from 7 CNOC clusters at 0.23< ∼ z<0.43. We construct the foreground/background corrected colour-magnitude diagrams for these clusters. Our analysis shows that the CNOC clusters reproduce the trend of increasing blue galaxy fraction with redshift as seen by Butcher & Oemler. We use these data to investigate the histo...
