The presence of substructure in galaxy groups and clusters is believed to be a sign of recent galaxy accretion and can be used not only to probe the assembly history of these structures, but also the evolution of their member galaxies.…
Mass and concentration of clusters of galaxies are related and evolving with redshift. We study the properties of a sample of 31 massive galaxy clusters at high redshift, 0.8 < z < 1.5, using weak and strong lensing observations.…
We consider a sample of about 50 distant galaxy clusters at z>0.15 (<z> about 0.3), each cluster having at least 10 galaxies with available redshift in the literature. We select member galaxies, analyze the velocity dispersion profiles, and…
X-ray observations of M87 in the Virgo cluster and NGC 4874 in Coma reveal that the gas temperature beyond about 50 kpc from these cD galaxies is comparable to the virial temperature of the cluster, 3 or 9 keV respectively, but within the…
The ages of stellar populations in 52 elliptical and S0 galaxies in the Coma cluster are investigated using a new spectroscopic sample. More than 40% of the S0s are found to have experienced recent star formation in their central regions…
We explore the internal structure of red sequence galaxies in the Coma cluster across a wide range of luminosities ($-17>M_g>-22$) and cluster-centric radii ($0<r_{\rm{cluster}}<1.3 r_{200}$). We present the 2D bulge-disc decomposition of…
A temperature map of the A3266 galaxy cluster has been derived from the ASCA GIS observations. It shows an asymmetric pattern of heating indicative of an ongoing merger between a group sized sub-cluster and the main cluster. The galaxy…
A statistical analysis of anisotropic quasiperiodic features of the spatial distribution of galaxy clusters obtained on the basis of spectroscopic and photometric redshifts in the interval $0.1 \leq z \leq 0.47$ has been carried out. Based…
We present intermediate-resolution spectroscopic data for a set of dwarf and giant galaxies in the Coma Cluster, with -20.6 < M_R < -15.7. The photometric and kinematic properties of the brighter galaxies can be cast in terms of parameters…
With the aim of quantifying the contribution of the environment on the evolution of galaxies at z=0 we have used the DR7 catalogue of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to reconstruct the 3-D distribution of 4132 galaxies in 420 square…
We study the outskirts ($R<3R_{200c}$) of 40 groups and clusters of galaxies of the local Universe ($0.02<z<0.045$) with 300~km~s$^{-1}<\sigma<950$~km~s$^{-1}$. Using the SDSS DR10 catalog data, we measured the stellar mass of galaxy…
We have obtained new redshifts for 265 objects in the central 48~$\times$~25~arcmin$^2$ region of the Coma cluster. When supplemented with literature data, our redshift sample is 95~\% complete up to a magnitude b$_{26.5}$=18.0 (the…
We present measurements of the angular correlation function of galaxies selected from the first field of the H-ATLAS survey. Careful removal of the background from galactic cirrus is essential, and currently dominates the uncertainty in our…
In this work, we study the Coma cluster, one of the richest and most well-known systems at low redshifts, to explore the importance of low-flux objects in the identification of cluster substructures. In addition, we conduct a study of the…
Open star clusters from the MWSC (Milky Way Star Clusters) catalogue have been used to determine the Galactic rotation parameters. The circular rotation velocity of the solar neighborhood around the Galactic center has been found from data…
We present new spectroscopic observations in a field containing the highest redshift cluster of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We measure galaxy redshifts and determine the velocity dispersions of the galaxy structures located in…
We present a new photometric catalogue of the Coma galaxy cluster in the Johnson U- and V- bands. We cover an area of 3360arcmin2 of sky, to a depth of V=20 mag in a 13 arcsec diameter aperture, and produce magnitudes for ~1400 extended…
N-body + hydrodynamical simulations of the formation and evolution of galaxy groups and clusters in a LambdaCDM cosmology are used in order to follow the building-up of the colour-magnitude relation in two clusters and in 12 groups. We have…
We present an analysis of a 50ks XMM observation of the merging galaxy cluster ClJ0152.7-1357 at z=0.83. In addition to the two main subclusters and an infalling group detected in an earlier Chandra observation of the system, XMM detects…
The redshift evolution of the galaxy two-point correlation function is a fundamental cosmological statistic. To identify similar galaxy populations at different redshifts, we select a strict volume-limited sample culled from the 6100…
