Clusters of galaxies are at the intersection of cosmic filaments and are still accreting galaxies and groups along these preferential directions, but, because of their relatively low contrast on the sky, they are difficult to detect (unless…

We present a consistent total flux catalogue for a $\sim$1 deg$^2$ subset of the COSMOS region (R.A. $\in [149.55\degr, 150.65\degr]$, DEC $\in [1.80\degr, 2.73\degr]$) with near-complete coverage in 38 bands from the far-ultraviolet to the…

We present catalogs of objects detected in deep images of 11 fields in 10 distant clusters obtained using WFPC-2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. The clusters span the redshift range z=0.37-0.56 and are the subject of a detailed ground-…

Data from the Gaia satellite are revolutionising our understanding of the Milky Way. With every new data release, there is a need to update the census of open clusters. We aim to conduct a blind, all-sky search for open clusters using 729…

Clusters of galaxies in most previous catalogs have redshifts z<0.3. Using the photometric redshifts of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6), we identify 39,668 clusters in the redshift range 0.05< z <0.6…
