SUMMARY:Galaxy evolution in proto-clusters - Nina Hatch (University of Not
 tingham)
DTSTART:20151126T160000Z

CONTACT:Simon Hodgkin
DESCRIPTION:The distant ancestors of local galaxy clusters\, known as 'pro
 to-clusters'\, are powerful laboratories for tracing the emergence of larg
 e-scale structure and studying the formation of galaxies in dense environm
 ents. However proto-clusters are rare and diffuse\, so locating them poses
  a significant observational challenge. I will present recent advances in 
 detecting proto-clusters that have allowed us to increase the number of kn
 own structures by an order of magnitude in just a few years. In this semin
 ar\, I will show how these proto-clusters shed light on the formation of m
 assive galaxies early in the Universe\, and highlight the importance of en
 vironment in driving galaxy evolution.\n
