Infalling groups and galaxy transformations in the cluster A2142
We study galaxy populations and search for possible merging substructures in the rich galaxy cluster A2142. Normal mixture modelling revealed in A2142 several infalling galaxy groups and subclusters.

Hubble Frontier Fields: a high-precision strong-lensing analysis of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2744 using ∼180 multiple images [PDF]
We present a high-precision mass model of galaxy cluster Abell 2744, based on a strong gravitational-lensing analysis of the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HFF) imaging data, which now include both Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field ...

THE ORIENTATION OF GALAXIES IN GALAXY CLUSTERS [PDF]
We present an analysis of the spatial orientations of galaxies in the 247 optically selected rich Abell clusters, having in the considered area at least 100 members. We investigated the relation between angles giving information about galaxy angular momenta and the number of members in each structure.

Internal dynamics of the galaxy cluster Abell 545
Diffuse radio emission in galaxy clusters, and their connection with cluster mergers, are still debated. We seek to explore the internal dynamics of the radio halo cluster Abell 545.

The reversal of the SF–density relation in a massive, X-ray-selected galaxy cluster at z = 1.58: results from Herschel [PDF]
Dusty, star-forming galaxies have a critical role in the formation and evolution of massive galaxies in the Universe. Using deep far-infrared imaging in the range 100-500um obtained with the Herschel telescope, we investigate the dust-obscured star ...

Targeting cluster galaxies for the 4MOST CHANCES Low-z sub-survey with photometric redshifts
Context. The evolution of galaxies is shaped by both internal processes and their external environments. Galaxy clusters and their surroundings provide ideal laboratories to study these effects, particularly with respect to mechanisms such as quenching ...

Alignment and morphology of elliptical galaxies: the influence of the cluster tidal field
We investigate two possible effects of the tidal field induced by a spherical cluster on its elliptical galaxy members: the modification of the ellipticity of a spherical galaxy and the isophotal alignment in the cluster radial direction of a misaligned ...

Mind the Gap: Tightening the Mass-Richness Relation with Magnitude Gaps [PDF]
We investigate the potential to improve optical tracers of cluster mass by exploiting measurements of the magnitude gap, m12, defined as the difference between the r-band absolute magnitude of the two brightest cluster members.

EVIDENCE FOR PARTICLE RE-ACCELERATION IN THE RADIO RELIC IN THE GALAXY CLUSTER PLCKG287.0+32.9 [PDF]
Radio relics are diffuse radio sources observed in galaxy clusters, probably produced by shock acceleration during cluster–cluster mergers. Their large size, of the order of 1 Mpc, indicates that the emitting electrons need to be (re)accelerated locally.
