Description
Distant clusters of galaxies provide a powerful method to study the
formation and evolution of galaxies and large scale structure of the
Universe. However, the number of known clusters at high redshift (z >
0.5) is still limited. As a preparatory work for detailed studies with
GTC, we are building a catalogue of such objects analyzing public deep
wide optical and near-IR surveys. In a region of ˜ 9 square
degrees, ˜ 100 new clusters (˜ 60 of them at z > 0.5)
have been detected.
