Clustering in the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey
Anthony H. Gonzalez, Dennis Zaritsky, Risa H. Wechsler
We utilize a sample of galaxy clusters at 0.35<z<0.6 drawn from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey (LCDCS) to provide the first non-local constraint on the cluster-cluster spa…
Tracing Cosmic Evolution with the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey
Anthony H. Gonzalez, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Amy E. Nelson +3
The Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey (LCDCS), which contains over 1000 cluster candidates at z>0.3, is a unique sample with which to probe the evolution of both cluster galaxies…
Brightest Cluster Galaxies and the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey
Dennis Zaritsky, Amy E. Nelson, Luc Simard +2
We present our study of the evolution of brightest cluster galaxies based on data from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey (Gonzalez et al. 2001) and HST optical and IR imaging…
An Overview of the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey
Dennis Zaritsky, Anthony H. Gonzalez, Amy E. Nelson +1
We present the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey, which has produced over a thousand galaxy cluster candidates at 0.35 < z < 1.1 (see Gonzalez et al. 2001 for the full catalog).…
HST Images of Stephan's Quintet: Star Cluster Candidates in a Compact Group Environment
S. C. Gallagher, S. D. Hunsberger, J. C. Charlton +1
We present HST WFPC2 images of Stephan's Quintet which encompass three interacting galaxies and their associated tidal features. These deep, three-color (B, V, I) images indicate r…
The Mass and Extent of the Galactic Halo
Dennis Zaritsky
We review the various techniques used to constrain the Galactic halo mass profile for radii > 20 kpc with particular emphasis on identifying a self-consistent halo model and resolv…
