Deep images of the Centaurus and Coma clusters reveal two spectacular arcs of diffuse light that stretch for over 100 kpc, yet are just a few kpc wide. At a surface brightness of m_b \sim 27-28th arcsec^-2, the Centaurus arc is the most…

We present an optical study of the strong lensing galaxy cluster MS 0440.5$+$0204 at $z=0.19593$, based on CFHT/MegaCam g', r'-photometry and GMOS/Gemini and CFHT/MOS/SIS spectroscopy in a broader area compared to previous works. We have…

[abridged] We explore the diversity of internal galaxy structures in the Coma cluster across a wide range of luminosities ($-17$\,$>$\,$M_g$\,$>$\,$-22$) and cluster-centric radii ($0$\,$<$\,$r_{\rm{cluster}}$\,$<$\,1.3 $r_{200}$) through…

Using deep two-color near-infrared HST imaging and unbiased grism spectroscopy we present a detailed study of the z=1.803 JKCS041 cluster. Uniquely, for a high redshift cluster, we confirm a mass of $\log M=14.2$ in solar units using four…

The census of massive clusters of galaxies in the local Universe is almost complete, thanks to their prominent observational signatures at X-ray, optical, and sub-mm wavelengths. Nevertheless, a number of such systems are likely to be…

Observational work conducted over the last few decades indicates that all massive galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centres. Although the luminosities and brightness fluctuations of quasars in the early Universe suggest that…

We report the discovery of a probable large scale structure composed of many galaxy clumps around the known twin clusters at z=1.26 and z=1.27 in the Lynx region. Our analysis is based on deep, panoramic, and multi-colour imaging…

[ABRIDGED] We present the first results from the largest spectroscopic survey to date of an intermediate redshift galaxy cluster, the z=0.834 cluster RX J0152.7-1357. We use the colors of galaxies, assembled from a D~12 Mpc region centered…

We derive the $g'$ band galaxy luminosity function (GLF) of quenched red sequence in the Coma cluster from a deep-imaging survey with $\approx1.5\,\mathrm{deg^2}$ around the cluster center. The dataset comprises deep $u'$-, $g'$-, and…

We present a study of the bar fraction in the Coma cluster galaxies based on a sample of ~190 galaxies selected from the SDSS-DR6 and observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Advanced Camera for Survey (ACS). The unprecedented…
