  5. The Top Hat Model tm given by solving the Friedmann equations for a closed model: Overdensity at the turn-around tm:  Extrapolating linear-theory(~ t2/3):

  6. Hierarchical Galaxy Formation Merging of smaller fragments into larger structures Can be highly dissipative, leading to: • Bursts of star formation • Fuelling of AGN • Formation of ellipticals and bulges

  7. Early stages of a dissipative merger of gas-rich galaxies  Gas rapidly sinks to the centre, where it can fuel starburst and/or an AGN Late stages  Barnes & Hernquist 1996

  8. AGN in Clusters • Selection X-ray point sources, radio FRII, Optical. It has been argued that X-ray selection is better than optical selection (Martini and collaborators). There is a hint of evolution Radio-X-ray-Optical • The number of AGN in rich clusters about 1 source within 1 Mpc. (148 clusters at 0.1 z0.9, 230 sources, 1.5 sources per cluster, Gilmour, Best, & Almaini 2009). • The fraction of AGN in clusters evolves rapidly with redshift, faster than AGN in the field (e.g., Galametz et al. 2009). AGN Butcher-Oemler Effect!!! • At z~1 van Breukelen et al. (2009) have suggested that AGN are almost vanished in virialiazed clusters while the fraction is large in non-virialized clusters.

  9. …But, at low-z • 5% of all galaxies at low-z are AGN, mostly low luminosity AGN (Ho 2008) • Some cD are radio-laud galaxies (Matthews et al. 1964) (19% of all BCG; 93% have Lradio ≥ 1023 W/Hz; Croft et al. 2007). Clear excess of AGN in the center of X-ray selected clusters (Lin & Mohr 2007) • Starbursts and Irr are vanished in the central regions of clusters. • Colors of galaxies indicate passive evolution; hence there are very low chances of seeing major action et low-z.

  10. Searching for activity in Clusters Ibarra-Medel et al. are searching for H in clusters using SDSS spectra for 120 Abell clusters. Christoper Añorve has developed TORTUGAS (Tortured by GALFIT (Peng et al. 2003) surface brightness modeling). Two components Sérsic bulge+ exponential bulge to 2300 galaxies in 11 clusters at 0.02 < z< 0.07). J. P. Torres-Papaqui applies STARLIGHT (Cid Fernández et al. 2005, http://www.starlight.ufsc.br/) to SDSS spectra.

  11. We Stumbled into A1213!! • Abell is an ARC=1 (Bgc= 300, Yee & López-Cruz 1999), irregular cluster (BM III) at z = 0.047. Three dominant galaxies. • We found 226 galaxies with spectra in SDSS within a 2 Mpc radius, 85 galaxies turned out to be members (Yahil & Vidal 1977), 22 galaxies had prominent H in emission. • After analyzing membership. We found that A1213 a velocity dispersion  = 532.49 km/s (c.f. ROSTAT), its virial mass is Mv = 1.9X1014 M (Rvir = 0.6 Mpc), and a mass-to-light ratio M/L=126. • We found 11 of galaxies with H in emission and one radio galaxy within 1 Mpc.

  17. A1213 radio halo? Giovannini et al. 2009 Lx= 1X1043 erg/s this is ten times lower that average.

  18. Close-Up Signs of galaxy interactions are present, plumes, stretched” spiral (UGC 6292), other SS have been seen in the Arp catalog (e.g. Arp 31), UGC 6292 =76 Kpc. We suggest SSS0

  19. SS Galaxies S0? Dubinski for PAndAS Arp 31 (Integral Sign, 3%)

  20. TORTUGAS AT WORK

  21. An Alternative Plausible Origin for S0 galaxies • We have devised a new morphological approach using an ellipticity vs. B/T plane.

  22. The distribution of the Sérsic Index for Ellipticals n = 2.5  1.2

  23. On the Origin of S0 galaxies From the analysis of 2300 galaxies in 11 low-z clusters (Añorve, 2010) Mode of the total luminosity: E (R=-20.85 mag), S0 (R=-20.69 mag), S (R=-20.82 mag) S0 are less luminous that E and S Mode of the bulge luminosity: E (R=-20.3mag), S0 (R=-20.01 mag), S (R=-19.21 mag) The bulges of S0 and E are brighter than those of S Mode of the Sérsic index E (n=2.4), S0 (n=2.2), S (n=1.2) The S0 bulges depart from S seudobulges. If S0 originated from S  the disks as well as the bulges of the progenitor spirals have to be modified. This is an alternative to simple ram pressure stripping scenario.

  24. Cosmological Test? Borgani & Guzzo 2001 Cluster population at any one cosmic epoch very sensitive to cosmology (structure growth dependence).

  25. Less Activity  Virialization • Richstone, Loeb, & Turner (1992) proposed a test where the incidence of substructure was set by the mean density at recombination. Caveat: substructure is hard to evaluate!!! • We propose to measure the degree of activity (AGN or starburst within R200 or virial radius) in a volume limited sample of richness 1 clusters using the method outlined in this talk and confronted with Borgani’s simulations.

  26. Conclusions • Abell 1213 is a probable assembling cluster • Large number of AGN (12) and Star Forming (19) which is more common to high-z clusters (0.5<z<0.1). • Stretched Spirals could become S0 in clusters with low hot gas. This can be a viable mechanism to generate S0 in the field, as well. No Ram Pressure. • A1213 provides a detailed view of cluster assembling that can be used to compare with clusters at high-z • We propose that the degree of activity in a volume limited sample confronted with numerical simulations can be used as a cosmological test.
