- Description:
- Determining the metallicities and ages of M31 clusters is fundamental to the study of the formation and evolution of M31 itself. The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) has carried out a systematic spectroscopic campaign of clusters and candidates in M31. We constructed a catalogue of 346 M31 clusters observed by LAMOST. By combining the information of the LAMOST spectra and the multi-band photometry, we developed a new algorithm to estimate the metallicities and ages of these clusters. We distinguish young clusters from old using random forest classifiers based on a empirical training data set selected from the literature. Ages of young clusters are derived from the spectral energy distribution fits of their multi-band photometric measurements. Their metallicities are estimated by fitting their observed spectral principal components extracted from the LAMOST spectra with those from the young metal-rich single stellar population (SSP) models. For old clusters we built non-parameter random forest models between the spectral principal components and/or multi-band colours and the parameters of the clusters based on a training data set constructed from the SSP models. The ages and metallicities of the old clusters are then estimated by fitting their observed spectral principal components extracted from the LAMOST spectra and multi-band colours from the photometric measurements with the resultant random forest models. We derived parameters of 53 young and 293 old clusters in our catalogue. Our resultant parameters are in good agreement with those from the literature. The ages of ~30 catalogued clusters and metallicities of ~40 sources are derived for the first time.

- Description:
- An optical photometric observation with the Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut multicolor system is carried out for the central region of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 2634. From the 2Kx2K CCD images with 14 filters, which cover a range of wavelength from 3600 to 10000{AA}, 5572 sources are detected down to V~20mag in a field of 56'x56' centered on this regular cluster of galaxies. As a result, we achieved the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of all sources detected. There are 178 previously known galaxies included in our observations, 147 of which have known radial velocities in the literature. After excluding the foreground and background galaxies, a sample of 124 known members is formed for an investigation of the SED properties. The comparison of observed SEDs of the early-type member galaxies with the template SEDs demonstrates the accuracy and reliability of our photometric measurements.

- Description:
- We present our optical multicolor photometry for the nearby cluster of galaxies A2255 with 13 intermediate filters in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) system (see Cat. II/262), which cover an optical wavelength range from 3000 to 10000{AA}. The spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the optical band for more than 7000 sources are achieved down to V~20 in a field of 58'x58' entered on this rich cluster. A2255 has been observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) down to V~17.5 spectroscopically and r'~22.0 photometrically. A method of combining the SDSS photometric data in five broad bands and the BATC SEDs is then explored. A sample of 254 galaxies with known redshifts in the region of A2255 is constructed for testing the reliability of the method of combining SEDs. Our application of the technique of photometric redshift on this sample shows that the combined SEDs with higher resolution could lead to a more accurate estimate of photometric redshift. Based on 214 spectroscopically confirmed member galaxies, spatial and dynamical properties of this cluster are studied.

- Description:
- We describe a multicomponent matched filter (MCMF) cluster confirmation tool designed for the study of large X-ray source catalogues produced by the upcoming X-ray all-sky survey mission eROSITA. We apply the method to confirm a sample of 88 clusters with redshifts 0.05<z<0.8 in the recently published 2RXS catalogue from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) over the 208 deg^2^ region overlapped by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science Verification (DES-SV) data set. In our pilot study, we examine all X-ray sources, regardless of their extent. Our method employs a multicolour red sequence (RS) algorithm that incorporates the X-ray count rate and peak position in determining the region of interest for follow-up and extracts the positionally and colour-weighted optical richness {lambda}_MCMF_ as a function of redshift for each source. Peaks in the {lambda}_MCMF_-redshift distribution are identified and used to extract photometric redshifts, richness and uncertainties. The significances of all optical counterparts are characterized using the distribution of richnesses defined along random lines of sight. These significances are used to extract cluster catalogues and to estimate the contamination by random superpositions of unassociated optical systems. The delivered photometric redshift accuracy is {delta}z/(1+z)=0.010. We find a well-defined X-ray luminosity-{lambda}_MCMF_ relation with an intrinsic scatter of {delta}ln({lambda}_MCMF_|Lx)=0.21. Matching our catalogue with the DES-SV redMaPPer catalogue yields good agreement in redshift and richness estimates; comparing our catalogue with the South Pole Telescope (SPT) selected clusters shows no inconsistencies. SPT clusters in our data set are consistent with the high-mass extension of the RASS-based {lambda}_MCMF_-mass relation.

- Description:
- To understand the role of the environment in galaxy formation, evolution, and present-day properties, it is essential to study the multi-frequency behavior of different galaxy populations under various environmental conditions. We study the stellar mass functions of different galaxy populations in groups as a function of their large scale environments using multi-frequency observations. We crossmatch the SDSS DR10 group catalogue with GAMA Data Release 2 and Wide-field Survey Explorer (WISE) data to construct a catalogue of 1651 groups and 11436 galaxies containing photometric information in 15 different wavebands ranging from ultraviolet (0.152-micron) to mid-infrared (22-micron). We perform the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting of galaxies using the MAGPHYS code and estimate the rest frame luminosities and stellar masses. We use the 1/Vmax method to estimate the galaxy stellar mass and luminosity functions, and the luminosity density field of galaxies to define the large scale environment of galaxies. The stellar mass functions of both central and satellite galaxies in groups are different in low and high density large scale environments. Satellite galaxies in high density environments have a steeper low mass end slope compared to low density environments, independently of the galaxy morphology. Central galaxies in low density environments have a steeper low mass end slope but the difference disappears for fixed galaxy morphology. The characteristic stellar mass of satellite galaxies is higher in high density environments and the difference exists only for galaxies with elliptical morphologies. Galaxy formation in groups is more efficient in high density large scale environments. Groups in high density environments have higher abundances of satellite galaxies, irrespective of the satellite galaxy morphology. The elliptical satellite galaxies are generally more massive in high density environments. The stellar masses of spiral satellite galaxies show no dependence on the large scale environment.

- Description:
- We present a strong-lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 (z=0.44) using UV, Optical, and IR, HST/ACS/WFC3 data taken as part of the CLASH multi-cycle treasury program, with VLT/VIMOS spectroscopy for some of the multiply lensed arcs. The CLASH observations, combined with our mass model, allow us to identify 47 new multiply lensed images of 12 distant sources. These images, along with the previously known arc, span the redshift range 1<~z<~5.5, and thus enable us to derive a detailed mass distribution and to accurately constrain, for the first time, the inner mass profile of this cluster. We find an inner profile slope of dlog{Sigma}/dlog{theta}=~-0.55+/-0.1 (in the range [1",53"], or 5kpc<~r<~300kpc), as commonly found for relaxed and well-concentrated clusters. Using the many systems uncovered here we derive credible critical curves and Einstein radii for different source redshifts. For a source at z_s_=~2.5, the critical curve encloses a large area with an effective Einstein radius of {theta}_E_=28"+/-3", and a projected mass of (1.34+/-0.15)x10^14^M_{sun}_. From the current understanding of structure formation in concordance cosmology, these values are relatively high for clusters at z~0.5, so that detailed studies of the inner mass distribution of clusters such as MACS J1206.2-0847 can provide stringent tests of the {Lambda}CDM paradigm.

- Description:
- We present a detailed spatial and dynamical analysis of the central ~2.2Mpc(Ho=75km/s/Mpc) region of the galaxy cluster Abell 521 (z=0.247), based on 238 spectra (of which 191 new measurements) obtained at the 3.6m Telescope of the European Southern Observatory and at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. From the analysis of the 125 galaxies that are confirmed members of the cluster, we derive a location ("mean" velocity) of C_BI_=74019^{+112}^_{-125}_km/s and detect a complex velocity distribution with high velocity scale ("dispersion", S_BI_=1325^{+145}^_{-100}_km/s), but clear departure from a single Gaussian component. When excluding a possible background group of four galaxies, the velocity dispersion remains still large (~1200 km/s).
