  1. Galaxies in clusters and their progenitors Pieter van Dokkum (Yale)

  2. General properties of cluster galaxies • Morphology-density relation • In core approx. 80% are E and S0 galaxies (Dressler 1980)

  3. General properties of cluster galaxies • Cluster galaxies follow tight scaling relations: • Color-magnitude relation • Fundamental Plane (Djorgovski & Davis 1987, Dressler et al 1987) • relation (Faber 1973) (e.g., Bower, Lucey, Ellis 1992) Terlevich, Caldwell, Bower 2001

  4. Motivation for studying cluster galaxies • Early-type galaxies are massive and old: Constrain galaxy formation theories or ?

  5. Motivation for studying cluster galaxies • Descendants Ly-break galaxies? • Ly-break galaxies already clustered (Giavalisco et al 1998) • In hierarchical models end up in groups and clusters Ly-break descendants Baugh et al. 1998

  6. Observational programs • Study the evolution of galaxies in the densest environments • Determine when/how galaxies and LSS formed • Test predictions from CDM models • Such programs require the resolution of HST and collecting area of large ground-based telescopes Meza et al. 2003

  7. Observational programs • Several 100 clusters known at 0.2<z<1.0 (best selected by SZ-effect, lensing, or X-rays) Stanford et al. 2001

  8. Observational programs • Several 100 clusters known at 0.2<z<1.5 (best selected by SZ-effect, lensing, or X-rays) (Lensing NOT effective method beyond z~0.7)

  9. Observational programs • Several 100 clusters known at 0.2<z<1.0 (best selected by SZ-effect, lensing, or X-rays) • Many (50+) observed with HST (eg ACS GTO team) Abell 2218 (z=0.18; Ellis et al 04) RX0848 (z=1.27; van D & Stanford 03)

  10. Observational programs • Several 100 clusters known at 0.2<z<1.0 (best selected by SZ-effect, lensing, or X-rays) • Many (50+) observed with HST (eg ACS GTO team) • … but only handful outside the inner Mpc CL1358+62 MS2053-04 MS1054-03 (z=0.33) (z=0.58) (z=0.83)

  11. What have we learned ? • Early-type galaxies appear to evolve slowly and gradually -> stars formed at high redshift Fundamental Plane: van Dokkum/Franx/Kelson/Illingworth/ Stanford/vdMarel 96-04 Studies of colors, line strengths, etc: Ellis et al. 1997, Bernardi et al 98, Stanford et al 95/98, vD et al 98,00, Treu et al 99,02, Poggianti et al 03, Blakeslee et al 03, Kodama et al 04 z=10 z=3 z=1.5

  12. What have we learned ? RDCS1252 (z=1.24; Blakeslee et al 03; Lidman et al 03)

  13. What have we learned ? • At the same time, morphological mix evolves Andreon et al. 1997 Fabricant et al 98 Dressler et al. 1997 van D et al 00,01 Lubin et al. 1998 Smith et al 04

  14. What have we learned ? • At the same time, morphological mix evolves • This may affect age estimates of early-type galaxies (“progenitor bias”; vDF01) • Current idea: evolution driven by infall from the field Kodama et al 01 (z=0.41; Subaru)

  15. Field spirals and groups fall in

  16. Kenney - Interaction hot gas: “ram pressure stripping” spiral -> S0 galaxy (Gunn & Gott 1972) - Encounters: “galaxy harassment” spiral -> early-type (Moore et al 98) MORPHS

  17. - Mergers may take place in infalling groups groups -> ellipticals (van Dokkum et al 1999)

  18. 30 arcmin Cluster evolution at 0.5<z<1.5 • Need to sample to the virial radius: R~10’ • Very inefficient with HST (even with ACS/WF3) CL0024 at z=0.39 Treu et al. 2003

  19. Surveying clusters at 0.5<z<1.5 • Need to sample to the virial radius: R~10’ • Very inefficient with HST (even with ACS/WF3) • Requirements: • Field of 20-30 arcmin • Near-IR capability to study clusters beyond z=1 • Good match to SNAPlike mission (expect 10-20 clusters in 15 sq degrees of deep survey areas!)

  20. Progenitors at z>2 • Overdensities of young objects found out to z~5 Venemans et al 02; also: Francis et al 97, Steidel et al 00, …

  21. Progenitors at z>2 • Overdensities of young objects found out to z~4 • However, rest-UV selection may give biased view Optical: Palomar digital sky survey UV: GALEX

  22. Typical Lyman-break galaxy and typical nearby spiral • L* Sb/c galaxy at z=3: K  23, R  28 • Would not be selected by any current method!

  23. Selecting “mature” galaxies at z>2 • Use redshifted Balmer- or 4000Å-break • Adopted criterion: J – K > 2.3 (restframe U – V > 0)
