    Evidence for the universality of properties of red-sequence galaxies in x-ray- and red-sequence-selected clusters at z ∼ 1
    (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015-10) Foltz, R.; Rettura, A.; Wilson, G.; Van Der Burg, R.F.J.; Muzzin, A.; Lidman, C.; Demarco, R.; Nantais, Julie; Degroot, A.; Yee, H.
    We study the slope, intercept, and scatter of the color-magnitude and color-mass relations for a sample of 10 infrared red-sequence-selected clusters at z ∼ 1. The quiescent galaxies in these clusters formed the bulk of their stars above z 3 with an age spread Δt 1 Gyr. We compare UVJ color-color and spectroscopic-based galaxy selection techniques, and find a 15% difference in the galaxy populations classified as quiescent by these methods. We compare the color-magnitude relations from our red-sequence selected sample with X-ray- and photometric-redshift-selected cluster samples of similar mass and redshift. Within uncertainties, we are unable to detect any difference in the ages and star formation histories of quiescent cluster members in clusters selected by different methods, suggesting that the dominant quenching mechanism is insensitive to cluster baryon partitioning at z ∼ 1. © 2015.

    Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN) I: survey description
    (Oxford University Press, 2017-06) Balogh, M.L.; Gilbank, D.G.; Muzzin, A.; Rudnick, G.; Cooper, M.C.; Lidman, C.; Biviano, A.; Demarco, R.; McGee, S.L.; Nantais, J.B.; Noble, A.; Old, L.; Wilson, G.; Yee, H.K.C.; Bellhouse, C.; Cerulo, P.; Chan, J.; Pintos-Castro, I.; Simpson, R.; van der Burg, R.F.J.; Zaritsky, D.; Ziparo, F.; Alonso, M.V.; Bower, R.G.; Lucia, G.D.; Finoguenov, A.; Lambas, D.G.; Muriel, H.; Parker, L.C.; Rettura, A.; Valotto, C.; Wetzel, A.
    We describe a new Large Program in progress on the Gemini North and South telescopes: Gemini Observations of Galaxies in Rich Early Environments (GOGREEN). This is an imaging and deep spectroscopic survey of 21 galaxy systems at 1 < z < 1.5, selected to span a factor >10 in halo mass. The scientific objectives include measuring the role of environment in the evolution of low-mass galaxies, and measuring the dynamics and stellar contents of their host haloes. The targets are selected from the SpARCS, SPT, COSMOS, and SXDS surveys, to be the evolutionary counterparts of today's clusters and groups. The newred-sensitive Hamamatsu detectors on GMOS, coupled with the nod-and-shuffle sky subtraction, allow simultaneous wavelength coverage over λ ~ 0.6-1.05 μm, and this enables a homogeneous and statistically complete redshift survey of galaxies of all types. The spectroscopic sample targets galaxies with AB magnitudes z' < 24.25 and [3.6] μm < 22.5, and is therefore statistically complete for stellar masses M* ≳ 1010.3M⊙, for all galaxy types and over the entire redshift range. Deep, multiwavelength imaging has been acquired over larger fields for most systems, spanning u through K, in addition to deep IRAC imaging at 3.6 μm. The spectroscopy is ~50 per cent complete as of semester 17A, and we anticipate a final sample of ~500 new cluster members. Combined with existing spectroscopy on the brighter galaxies from GCLASS, SPT, and other sources, GOGREEN will be a large legacy cluster and field galaxy sample at this redshift that spectroscopically covers a wide range in stellar mass, halo mass, and clustercentric radius.
