I. Apples to apples : realistic galaxy simulated catalogs and photometric redshift predictions for next-generation surveys

Begoña Ascaso, Simona Mei, Narciso Benítez

We present new mock catalogues for two of the largest stage-IV next-generation surveys in the optical and infrared: LSST and Euclid, based on an N-body simulation+semi-analytical c…

Avoiding progenitor bias: The structural and mass evolution of Brightest Group and Cluster Galaxies in Hierarchical models since z~1

Francesco Shankar, Stewart Buchan, Alessandro Rettura +10

The mass and structural evolution of massive galaxies is one of the hottest topics in galaxy formation. This is because it may reveal invaluable insights into the still debated evo…

The abundance and colours of galaxies in high redshift clusters in the cold dark matter cosmology

Alexander I. Merson, Carlton M. Baugh, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez +3

High-redshift galaxy clusters allow us to examine galaxy formation in extreme environments. Here we compile data for 15 galaxy clusters to test the predictions from a state-o…

The Science Case for Multi-Object Spectroscopy on the European ELT

Chris Evans, Mathieu Puech, Jose Afonso +68

This White Paper presents the scientific motivations for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) on the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT). The MOS case draws on all fields of co…

Understanding the Unique Assembly History of Central Group Galaxies

Benedetta Vulcani, Kevin Bundy, Claire Lackner +7

Central Galaxies (CGs) in massive halos live in unique environments with formation histories closely linked to that of the host halo. In local clusters they have larger sizes ($R_e…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey. XV. The photometric redshift estimation for background sources

A. Raichoor, S. Mei, T. Erben +28

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey is an optical imaging survey covering 104 deg^2 centered on the Virgo cluster. Currently, the complete survey area has been observed in the…
