We present photometric and spectroscopic measurements of the galaxy populations in clusters from the CNOC1 sample of rich, X-ray luminous clusters at $0.18 < z < 0.55$. A classical measure of the galaxy blue fraction for spectroscopically…
We present a deep UBI CCD survey using the Palomar 5-m telescope of a sample of high X-ray luminosity, distant clusters selected from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The 10 clusters lie at z=0.22-0.28, an era where evolutionary effects have been…
We present the evolution of the color-magnitude distribution of galaxy clusters from z = 0.45 to z = 0.9 using a homogeneously selected sample of ~1000 clusters drawn from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS). The red fraction of galaxies…
We present a combined study of the colour-magnitude relation, colour distribution and luminosity function of a sample of 24 clusters at redshifts 0.3<z<1. The sample is largely composed of X-ray selected/detected clusters. Most of the…
The current paradigm of cosmic formation and evolution of galaxy clusters foresees growth mostly through merging. Galaxies in the infall region or in the core of a cluster undergo transformations owing to different environmental stresses.…
I summarize what is know about the evolution of galaxies in clusters from the observational point of view presenting results at high (z~1), intermediate (z~0.5) and low (z~0) redshifts. I comment on the comparison between observations and…
Using wide-field $BVR_cI$ imaging for a sample of 16 intermediate redshift ($0.17 < z < 0.55$) galaxy clusters from the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC1) Survey, we investigate the dependence of cluster galaxy populations…
(Abridged) We analyze photometry and spectroscopy of a sample of 63 clusters at 0.3<z<0.9 drawn from the Las Campanas Distant Cluster Survey to empirically constrain models of cluster galaxy evolution. Specifically, by combining data on our…
Although field galaxy studies have begun to probe the universe at z > 1, evidence for galaxy clusters at such redshifts has been sparse. New observations are accumulating rapidly, however, providing new data on the early evolution of…
We present the stellar population and velocity dispersion gradients for a sample of 24 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in the nearby Universe for which we have obtained high quality long-slit spectra at the Gemini telescopes. With the aim…
Two-dimensional surface photometry is presented for a sample of 351 late-type galaxies with $0.12 < z < 0.65$. These objects are drawn from the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC) cluster survey and are either…
We investigate the galaxy populations in seven X-ray selected, intermediate-redshift groups (0.2<z<0.6). Overall, the galaxy populations in these systems are similar to those in clusters at the same redshift; they have large fractions of…
The galaxy population in the intermediate-redshift ($z=0.228$) rich cluster Abell 2390 is investigated. We present velocities, colors, and morphological information for an exceptionally large sample of 323 galaxies (216 cluster members) in…
Using photometric redshifts we determine the galaxy population of the clusters of galaxies Cl0016+16 at z=0.55, Cl1600+41 at z=0.54, Cl1601+42 at z=0.54 and MS1008-1224 at z=0.31. Comparing the clusters, we find no evidence for a universal…
We investigate the evolution of the star formation rate in cluster galaxies. We complement data from the CNOC1 cluster survey (0.15<z<0.6) with measurements from galaxy clusters in the 2dF galaxy redshift survey (0.05<z<0.1) and…
The galaxy population in rich local galaxy clusters shows a ratio of one quarter elliptical galaxies, two quarters S0 galaxies, and one quarter spiral galaxies. Observations of clusters at redshift 0.5 show a perspicuously different ratio,…
Elliptical and S0 galaxies dominate the galaxy population in nearby rich clusters such as Coma. Studies of the evolution of the colors, M/L ratios, and line indices of early-type galaxies indicate that they have been a highly homogeneous,…
By means of our own cosmological-hydrodynamical simulation and semi-analytical model we studied galaxy population properties in clusters and groups, spanning over 10 different bands from UV to NIR, and their evolution since redshift z=2. We…
The XMM--LSS project is detecting distant clusters of low mass, quite comparable in mass to the ones in the local universe. This allows a direct comparison of galaxy properties at different redshifts in ``similar'' clusters. We present here…
We have measured the luminous AGN population in a large sample of clusters of galaxies and find evidence for a substantial increase in the cluster AGN population from z~0.05 to z~1.3. The present sample now includes 32 clusters of galaxies,…
