Description
Aimed at understanding the evolution of galaxies in clusters, the GLACE
survey is mapping a set of optical lines ([OII]3727, [OIII]5007, Hβ
and Hα/[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 (Cepa et al. 2005) at the 10.4 m 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: we present some preliminary results
on our observations of the galaxy cluster Cl0024+1654 at z = 0.395;
GLACE@0.86 has been approved as ESO/GTC large project to be started in
2011.
