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 shape of the total luminosity function (LF) at these redshifts. When dividing the LFs into spectral types, we find that the LF of the early-type galaxies alone can be described by a Gaussian, while the LF of the late-type galaxies is well fitted by a Schechter function, suggesting that the separate LFs for different populations may be universal. The difference in the total LFs can mainly be attributed to the varying relative normalisation of these populations, implying that clusters with an abundant population of late-type galaxies also have steeper faint-end slopes. In MS1008-1224 we detect a faint blue population that dominates over a population with colours consistent with dwarf ellipticals, opposite to clusters at lower redshift. Compared to low redshift clusters, we find that a general fading of the late-type population by ~2 mag and the early-type population by ~1 mag describes the evolution from z=0.55 to z=0 well. As a consequence of the different early-type and late-type LFs and their dependence on cluster radius, the fraction of blue cluster galaxies, as measured by the Butcher-Oemler effect, differs between the clusters and depends on limiting magnitude and radius. We find a correlation between the dwarf-to-giant ratio and the surface density, indicating that the high density environment in the cluster cores is hostile to dwarf galaxies.
We present a study of the luminosity and color properties of galaxies selected from a sample of 57 low-redshift Abell clusters. We utilize the non-parametric dwarf-to-giant ratio (DGR) and the blue galaxy fraction (fb) to investigate the clustercentr
Stacked analyses of galaxy clusters at low-to-intermediate redshift show signatures attributable to dust, but the origin of this dust is uncertain. We test the hypothesis that the bulk of cluster dust derives from galaxy ejecta. To do so, we employ d
We use weak lensing shear measurements of six z>0.5 clusters of galaxies to derive the mean lensing redshift of the background galaxies used to measure the shear. Five of these clusters are compared to X-ray mass models and verify a mean lensing reds
A catalogue of galaxy clusters was obtained in an area of 414 sq deg up to a redshift $zsim0.8$ from the Data Release 3 of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-DR3), using the Adaptive Matched Identifier of Clustered Objects (AMICO) algorithm. The catalogue
We have identified 335 galaxy cluster and group candidates spanning 0<z<2, using a 4.5um selected sample of galaxies in a 7.25 deg^2 region in the Spitzer/IRAC Shallow Survey. Using full redshift probability distributions for all galaxies, clusters w
