ESA Science & Technology - Growing-up at high redshift: from proto-clusters to galaxy clusters

Start date: 11 Sep 2012
Address: European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC), ESA, Villanueva de la Cañada, Madrid, Spain

Galaxy clusters represent the place where astrophysics and cosmology meet. Recently, the most distant (z>~1.4), massive clusters were discovered in IR and X-ray surveys, and the first high-z clusters discovered through the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect were found thanks to the new telescopes SPT, Planck and ACT.
