CLASH-VLT: Enhancement of (O/H) in z=0.35 RXJ 2248-4431 cluster galaxies

B. I. Ciocan, C. Maier, B. L. Ziegler +1

(Abridged) We explore the Frontier Fields cluster RXJ2248-443 at z~0.35 with VIMOS/VLT spectroscopy from CLASH-VLT, which covers a central region corresponding to almost 2 virial r…

Cluster induced quenching of galaxies in the massive cluster XMMXCSJ2215.9-1738 at z~1.5 traced by enhanced metallicities inside half R200

C. Maier, M. Hayashi, B. L. Ziegler +1

(Abridged) We explore the massive cluster XMMXCSJ2215.9-1738 at z~1.5 with KMOS spectroscopy of Halpha and [NII] covering a region that corresponds to about one virial radius. Usin…

Kinematics of disk galaxies in (proto-)clusters at z=1.5

A. Boehm, B. L. Ziegler, J. M. Perez-Martinez +5

We observed star-forming galaxies at z~1.5 selected from the HyperSuprimeCam Subaru Strategic Program. The galaxies are part of two significant overdensities of [OII] emitters iden…

Slow-then-rapid quenching as traced by tentative evidence for enhanced metallicities of cluster galaxies at z~0.2 in the slow quenching phase

C. Maier, B. L. Ziegler, C. P. Haines +1

(Abridged) We explore 7 clusters from LoCuSS at z~0.2 with spectra of 1965 cluster members from the ACReS Hectospec survey covering a region which corresponds to about three virial…

CLASH-VLT: Strangulation of cluster galaxies in MACSJ0416.1-2403 as seen from their chemical enrichment

C. Maier, U. Kuchner, B. L. Ziegler +9

(abridged) We explore the Frontier Fields cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 at z=0.3972 with VIMOS/VLT spectroscopy from the CLASH-VLT survey covering a region which corresponds to almost…

CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with Spectra of Member Galaxies

I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, B. Sartoris +33

We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the large spectroscopic campaign provided more…

CLASH-VLT: Environment-driven evolution of galaxies in the z=0.209 cluster Abell 209

M. Annunziatella, A. Mercurio, A. Biviano +19

The analysis of galaxy properties and the relations among them and the environment, can be used to investigate the physical processes driving galaxy evolution. We study the cluster…

CLASH-VLT: Is there a dependence in metallicity evolution on galaxy structures?

Ulrike Kuchner, Christian Maier, Bodo Ziegler +6

We investigate the environmental dependence of the mass-metallicty (MZ) relation and it's connection to galaxy stellar structures and morphologies. In our studies, we analyze galax…

CLASH-VLT: The stellar mass function and stellar mass density profile of the z=0.44 cluster of galaxies MACS J1206.2-0847

M. Annunziatella, A. Biviano, A. Mercurio +29

Context. The study of the galaxy stellar mass function (SMF) in relation to the galaxy environment and the stellar mass density profile, rho(r), is a powerful tool to constrain mod…

The dominant role of mergers in the size evolution of massive early-type galaxies since z ~ 1

C. López-Sanjuan, O. Le Fèvre, O. Ilbert +60

In this paper we measure the merger fraction and rate, both minor and major, of massive early-type galaxies (M_star >= 10^11 M_Sun) in the COSMOS field, and study their role in mas…

A journey from the outskirts to the cores of groups I: Color- and mass-segregation in 20K-zCOSMOS groups

V. Presotto, A. Iovino, M. Scodeggio +49

Using the group catalog obtained from zCOSMOS spectroscopic data and the complementary photometric data from the COSMOS survey, we explore segregation effects occurring in groups o…
