چکیده
We present the results of carrying out multi-object spectroscopy in 10 EIS cluster fields. Based on the list of 345 galaxy redshifts we identify significant 3D-density enhancements. For 9 of the EIS clusters we identify significant 3D-concentrations corresponding to the originally detected cluster candidate. We find redshifts in the range 0.097 ≤ z ≤ 0.257 which is in good agreement with the matched filter estimate of zMF = 0.2. We estimate velocity dispersions in the range 219-1160 km/s for the confirmed clusters.

Multi - object spectroscopy of low redshift EIS clusters . III . Properties of optically selected clusters ⋆
We have carried out an investigation of the properties of low redshift EIS clusters using both spectroscopy and imaging data. We present new redshifts for 738 galaxies in 21 ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) Cluster fields. We use the " gap "-technique to search for significant overdensities in redshift space and to identify groups/clusters of galaxies corresponding to the original EIS matched filter cl...
متن کاملConfirming EIS Clusters . Multi - object Spectroscopy
Clusters of galaxies arise from exceptionally high peaks of the primordial fluctuation density field. Their properties as a function of redshift, z, are therefore highly sensitive to the nature of such cosmic fluctuations. It is therefore very important to have a sample of galaxy clusters covering as wide a redshift range as possible. Recently, Olsen et al. (1999) and Scodeggio et al. (1999) ha...
متن کاملMulti - object spectroscopy of low redshift EIS clusters . I . ⋆
We report the results of the first multi-object spectroscopic observations at the Danish 1.54m telescope at La Silla, Chile. Observations of five cluster candidates from the ESO Imaging Survey Cluster Candidate Catalog are described. From these observations we confirm the reality of the five clusters with measured redshifts of 0.11 ≤ z ≤ 0.35. We estimate velocity dispersions in the range 294–6...
متن کاملBuilding a Sample of Distant Clusters of Galaxies
Candidate clusters of galaxies drawn from the sample identified from the moderately deep I−band data of the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS), have been used for follow-up optical/infrared imaging and spectroscopic observations. The observations were conducted to assess the nature of these candidates over a large range of redshifts. Currently, 163 EIS candidates have (V − I) colors, 15 have (I −K) and 6...
متن کاملWide Field Spectroscopy and the Universe
In this short survey of the applications of wide-field, multi-object spectroscopy to galaxy evolution, large-scale structure and cosmology, I interleave summaries of the general goals and state of play in these fields with specific examples based on my own recent work. I first briefly review the goals and figures of merit for current and future redshift surveys, before examining some recent res...
