Galaxy Clusters and Cosmology

Our main research areas are: the study of galaxy clusters (mass estimates, galaxy evolution), proto-clusters, gravitationally lensed sources and deep cosmological surveys in the far-infrared with Herschel, detection and characterization of galaxy clusters with Euclid, cosmology wth galaxy clusters and galaxy clustering.

We are organizing the scientific workshop  "A multi-wavelength view of galaxy clusters: deriving masses in the era of wide-field surveys" on September 6-9, 2021

 

The First Spanish Meeting on Galaxy Clusters was held at ESAC on 7 & 8 November 2019

The active members of the galaxy clusters and cosmology group in 2021 are :

At ESAC :

At ESTEC:

We are involved in several large international collaborations as :

from low-redshift to high redshift clusters as well as proto-clusters.
