A spectroscopic study of a z=1.6 galaxy overdensity with GMASS
Jaron Kurk, Andrea Cimatti, Gianni Zamorani +12
The Galaxy Mass Assembly ultra-deep Spectroscopic Survey samples a part of the CDFS to unprecedented depth. The resulting distribution of 150 z>1.4 redshifts reveals a significant…
The First Appearance of the Red Sequence of Galaxies in Proto-Clusters at 2<~z<~3
T. Kodama, I. Tanaka, M. Kajisawa +5
We explore the evolved galaxy population in the proto-clusters around four high-z radio galaxies at 2<~z<~3 based on wide-field near-infrared imaging. Three of the four fields are…
Emission line galaxies at z = 6.5
Jaron Kurk, Andrea Cimatti, Sperello di Serego Alighieri +2
We are carrying out a search for Lyman alpha emitting galaxies at z = 6.5 employing slitless spectroscopy at the VLT. In our 43 square arcminute field we find three isolated single…
BRIGHT lights, BIG city: Massive galaxies, giant Ly-a nebulae, and proto--clusters
W. van Breugel, M. Reuland, W. de Vries +10
High redshift radio galaxies are great cosmological tools for pinpointing the most massive objects in the early Universe: massive forming galaxies, active super--massive black hole…
A search for high redshift clusters associated with radio galaxies at 2 < z < 4
J. D. Kurk, B. P. Venemans, H. J. A. Roettgering +2
High redshift radio galaxies are amongst the most massive galaxies in the early Universe and have properties expected from central galaxies in forming clusters. We are carrying out…
Deep VLT spectroscopy of high redshift radio galaxy MRC 2104-242: Evidence for a metallicity gradient
R. Overzier, H. Rottgering, J. Kurk +1
In this contribution we will present deep VLT spectroscopy observations of the giant emission line halo around the z=2.49 radio galaxy MRC 2104-242. The morphology of the halo is d…
