“…BCS used the Mosaic-II wide field imager on the Blanco 4 m telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. The BCS obtained contiguous deep optical imaging in the griz bands across their survey fields, and these data have been processed using a development version of the DES data management system (Ngeow et al 2006;Mohr et al 2008) and then used in the study of the galaxy population and in the redshift estimation of the first SPT survey fields (Ngeow et al 2009;Staniszewski et al 2009;High et al 2010;Brodwin et al 2010;Zenteno et al 2011). These data are publicly available through the NOAO Survey Program and have been used by other groups to study clusters in the SPT survey region (Menanteau et al , 2010 High et al (2010).…”

We present results of X-ray observations of a sample of 15 clusters selected via their imprint on the cosmic microwave background from the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. These clusters are a subset of the first SZ-selected cluster catalog, obtained from observations of 178 deg 2 of sky surveyed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Using X-ray observations with Chandra and XMM-Newton, we estimate the temperature, T X , and mass, M g , of the intracluster medium within r 500 for each cluster. From these, we calculate Y X = M g T X and estimate the total cluster mass using an M 500 -Y X scaling relation measured from previous X-ray studies. The integrated Comptonization, Y SZ , is derived from the SZ measurements, using additional information from the X-ray-measured gas density profiles and a universal temperature profile. We calculate scaling relations between the X-ray and SZ observables and find results generally consistent with other measurements and the expectations from simple selfsimilar behavior. Specifically, we fit a Y SZ -Y X relation and find a normalization of 0.82 ± 0.07, marginally consistent with the predicted ratio of Y SZ /Y X = 0.91 ± 0.01 that would be expected from the density and temperature models used in this work. Using the Y X -derived mass estimates, we fit a Y SZ -M 500 relation and find a slope consistent with the self-similar expectation of Y SZ ∝ M 5/3 with a normalization consistent with predictions from other X-ray studies. We find that the SZ mass estimates, derived from cosmological simulations of the SPT survey, are lower by a factor of 0.78 ± 0.06 relative to the X-ray mass estimates. This offset is at a level of 1.3σ when considering the ∼15% systematic uncertainty for the simulation-based SZ masses. Overall, the X-ray measurements confirm that the scaling relations of the SZ-selected clusters are consistent with the properties of other X-ray-selected samples of massive clusters, even allowing for the broad redshift range (0.29 < z < 1.08) of the sample.

“…Although this relation was defined at low redshift, there is no expectation of, nor evidence for, evolution in this relation to z ∼ 1 (e.g., Wu et al 1998;Tran et al 1999;Brodwin et al 2010). Figure 4 plots ISCS J1438.1+3414 on this σ − T X relation (large red circle).…”

“…At z = 1.414, this is the most distant cluster for which this relation has ever been tested. A comparison sample of low redshift (z < 0.1) clusters is plotted, along with the most massive spectroscopically confirmed cluster at z > 1, SPT-CL J0546-5345 from Brodwin et al (2010). The dashed line is the best-fit relation Girardi et al (1996) obtained using previous temperatures from the literature, and the solid line is our own fit using the Vikhlinin et al (2009) temperatures for the low-z clusters.…”

We report the X-ray detection of two z > 1.4 infrared-selected galaxy clusters from the IRAC Shallow Cluster Survey (ISCS). We present new data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the W. M. Keck Observatory that spectroscopically confirm cluster ISCS J1432.4+3250 at z = 1.49, the most distant of 18 confirmed z > 1 clusters in the ISCS to date. We also present new spectroscopy for ISCS J1438.1+3414, previously reported at z = 1.41, and measure its dynamical mass. Clusters ISCS J1432.4+3250 and ISCS J1438.1+3414 are detected in 36ks and 143ks Chandra exposures at significances of 5.2σ and 9.7σ, from which we measure total masses of log (M 200,LX /M ⊙ ) = 14.4 ± 0.2 and 14.35 +0.14 −0.11 , respectively. The consistency of the X-ray and dynamical properties of these high redshift clusters further demonstrates that the ISCS is robustly detecting massive clusters to at least z = 1.5.

“…Martig et al 2009), in dense galaxy environments, such as galaxy clusters, the removal of cold gas from galaxies and their surroundings is expected to be efficient in quenching star formation (see Balogh et al 2004). The formation of galaxy clusters is a long process that has initial phases at redshifts higher than about 3, and although massive clusters have been observed at redshifts about unity or more (Brodwin et al 2010(Brodwin et al , 2013Propris et al 2015;Ma et al 2015), it is expected that cluster formation is a process that goes on well below z ≈ 1 (Kravtsov & Borgani 2012;Planelles et al 2014). In fact, the nearby Virgo cluster is known for not yet being dynamically fully relaxed (Binggeli 1999).…”

We use data from the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE), recently commissioned at the Very Large Telescope (VLT), to study the kinematics and stellar population content of NGC 4371, an early-type massive barred galaxy in the core of the Virgo cluster. We integrate this study with a detailed structural analysis using imaging data from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes, which allows us to perform a thorough investigation of the physical properties of the galaxy. We show that the rotationally supported inner components in NGC 4371, i.e. an inner disc and a nuclear ring -which, according to the predominant scenario, are built with stars formed from gas brought to the inner region by the bar -are vastly dominated by stars older than 10 Gyr. Our results thus indicate that the formation of the bar occurred at a redshift of about z = 1.8 +0.5 −0.4 (error bars are derived from 100 Monte Carlo realisations). NGC 4371 thus testifies to the robustness of bars. In addition, the mean stellar age of the portion of the major disc of the galaxy that is covered by our MUSE data is above 7 Gyr with a small contribution from younger stars. This suggests that the quenching of star formation in NGC 4371, which is very likely an environmental effect, was already occurring at a redshift of about z = 0.8 +0.2 −0.1 . Our results suggest that bar-driven secular evolution processes may have an extended impact on the evolution of galaxies, and thus on the properties of galaxies as observed today, and not necessarily be restricted to more recent cosmic epochs.
