The characterization of the internal structure of the superclusters of galaxies (walls, filaments and knots where the clusters are located) is paramount for understanding the formation of the Large Scale Structure and for outlining the…

Multiple galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at kiloparsec separation from each other are exceedingly rare, and in fact, only one quadruple AGN is known so far. These extreme density peaks are expected to pinpoint protocluster…

The main ingredients of recent semi-analytic models of galaxy formation are summarised. We present predictions for the galaxy clustering properties of a well specified LCDM model whose parameters are constrained by observed local galaxy…

We present the surface density of luminous active galactic nuclei (AGN) associated with a uniformly selected galaxy cluster sample identified in the 8.5 square degree Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. The clusters are…

We have performed a series of N-body experiments on Connection Machine-5 in order to simulate the formation of galaxy clusters gravitationally dominated by a massive dark background. In accordance with previous authors we find an extremely…

We present a detailed study of a rich galaxy cluster at z=2.38. We demonstrate that this cluster contains large overdensities of damped Ly-alpha absorption lines, of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies and of extremely red objects. The overdensity…

Galaxy physical properties are influenced by their environments, but the processes responsible for mass and environmental quenching and structural transformations remain debated. Galaxy clusters are ideal laboratories for investigating…

We present ALMA Band 6 (nu=233GHz, lambda=1.3mm) continuum observations towards 68 'normal' star-forming galaxies within two Coma-like progenitor structures at z=2.10 and 2.47, from which ISM masses are derived, providing the largest census…

Superclusters are the largest massive structures in the cosmic web on tens to hundreds of megaparsecs (Mpc) scales. They are the largest assembly of galaxy clusters in the Universe. Apart from a few detailed studies of such structures,…

We use a set of high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of clusters of galaxies to study the build-up of the intracluster light (ICL), an interesting and likely significant component of their total stellar mass. Our sample of groups and…

We report the first results from the Z-FOURGE survey: the discovery of a candidate galaxy cluster at z = 2.2 consisting of two compact overdensities with red galaxies detected at >20{\sigma} above the mean surface density. The discovery was…

A complete understanding of the mass assembly history of structures in the universe requires the study of the growth of galaxies and their supermassive black holes (SMBHs) as a function of their local environment over cosmic time. In this…

This paper explores the role of small-scale environment ($<1$ Mpc) in modulating accretion events onto supermassive black holes by studying the incidence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in massive clusters of galaxies. A flexible,…

Context: Understanding galaxy evolution in dense environments, particularly proto-clusters, is crucial for studying mechanisms driving star formation and quenching. Aims: This study examines how two proto-cluster over-densities at 3 < z < 4…

From the poor cluster catalog of White et al. (1996), we define a sample of 71 optically-selected poor galaxy clusters. The surface-density enhance- ment we require for our clusters falls between that of the loose associations of Turner and…
