GLACE: an ESO/GTC project aimed to study the evolution of galaxies in clusters
Abstract
Aimed at understanding the evolution of galaxies in clusters, the GLACE (GaLAxy Cluster Evolution) survey is mapping a set of optical lines ([OII]3727, [OIII]5007, Hbeta and Halpha/[NII] when possible) in several galaxy clusters at z ~ 0.40, 0.63 and 0.86, using the Tuneable Filters (TF) of the OSIRIS instrument at the 10.4m GTC telescope.
This study will address key
questions about the physical processes acting upon the infalling galaxies during the course of hierarchical growth of clusters.
GLACE is already ongoing: GLACE@0.86 was approved as ESO/GTC large project with 72 dark hours (period 86B), starting the observations in semester 11A. The low redshift bins are being implemented in regular open time. We present here some results from the first observations.
