The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey
نویسنده
چکیده
The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a new galaxy cluster survey designed to provide a large sample of optically selected 0.1 1 cluster, illustrative of the dozens discovered in the data so far. Some of the possible science to come from the RCS is illustrated by a qualitative indication of ΩM from the first 1/10th of the survey data. A high-precision measurement of the 2-point correlation function of luminous early-type galaxies at 0.4 < z < 1.2 is also shown.

The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a ∼100 square degree, two-filter imaging survey in the RC and z ′ filters, designed primarily to locate and characterise galaxy clusters to redshifts as high as z = 1.4. This paper provides a detailed description of the survey strategy and execution, including a thorough discussion of the photometric and astrometric calibration of the survey data. The da...
متن کاملThe Toronto Red-Sequence Cluster Survey: First Results
The Toronto Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (TRCS) is a new galaxy cluster survey designed to provide a large sample of optically selected 0.1 < z < 1.4 clusters. The planned survey data is 100 square degrees of two color (R and z) imaging, with a 5σ depth ∼2 mag past M at z = 1. The primary scientific drivers of the survey are a derivation of Ωm and σ8 (from N(M,z) for clusters) and a study of clu...
متن کاملThe Build–up of the Red–sequence in Galaxy Clusters since Z ∼ 0.8 *
We study the rest–frame (U−V) color–magnitude relation in 4 clusters at redshifts 0.7–0.8, drawn from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. We confirm that red–sequence galaxies in these clusters can be described as an old, passively–evolving population and we demonstrate, by comparison with the Coma cluster, that there has been significant evolution in the stellar mass distribution of red–sequence g...

In an extensive numerical phenetic survey, a numberof blue, red and gray spored streptomycete strainswere grouped together as Streptomyces cyaneusspecies-group, a taxon which encompasses strainsknown to produce antitumor antibiotics, notably anthracyclines.In the present investigation these and relatedstreptomycetes were the subject of morphological and...
متن کاملRed-sequence galaxies with young stars and dust: The cluster Abell 901/902 seen with COMBO-17
We report the discovery of a rich component of dusty star-forming galaxies contaminating the red-sequence in the supercluster system comprising Abell 901a, 901b and A902 at redshift ∼ 0.17. These galaxies do not fit into the colour-density relation, because their preferred habitat is different from that of regular red-sequence galaxies, which are typically dust-poor, old and passively evolving....
