On the accuracy of the high redshift cluster luminosity function
Roberto P. Muñoz, Nelson D. Padilla, Luis F. Barrientos
We study the reliability of the statistical background subtraction method for computing the Ks-band luminosity function of cluster galaxies at z~1 using mock Red-sequence Cluster S…
The Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC): Wide K-band Imaging, Photometric Catalogs, Clustering and Physical Properties of Galaxies at z~2
Guillermo A. Blanc, Paulina Lira, L. Felipe Barrientos +11
We present K-band imaging of two ~30'x30' fields covered by the MUSYC Wide NIR Survey. The 1030 and 1255 fields were imaged with ISPI on the 4m Blanco telescope at CTIO to a 5 sigm…
A z=0.9 supercluster of X-ray luminous, optically-selected, massive galaxy clusters
David G. Gilbank, H. K. C. Yee, E. Ellingson +4
We report the discovery of a compact supercluster structure at z=0.9. The structure comprises three optically-selected clusters, all of which are detected in X-rays and spectroscop…
Galaxy Clusters in the Line of Sight to Background Quasars: I. Survey Design and Incidence of MgII Absorbers at Cluster Redshifts
S. Lopez, L. F. Barrientos, P. Lira +7
We describe the first optical survey of absorption systems associated with galaxy clusters at z= 0.3-0.9. We have cross-correlated SDSS DR3 quasars with high-redshift cluster/group…
The Color Bimodality in Galaxy Clusters since z = 0.9
Y. -S. Loh, E. Ellingson, H. K. C. Yee +3
We present the evolution of the color-magnitude distribution of galaxy clusters from z = 0.45 to z = 0.9 using a homogeneously selected sample of ~1000 clusters drawn from the Red-…
The Red-Sequence Luminosity Function in Galaxy Clusters since z~1
David G. Gilbank, H. K. C. Yee, E. Ellingson +4
We use a statistical sample of ~500 rich clusters taken from 72 square degrees of the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS-1) to study the evolution of ~30,000 red-sequence galaxies in…
