Scientific paper

We have used the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on the HST to obtain optical imaging of a sample of 8 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.3. The ACS data provides accurate photometry and the ACS high angular resolution makes it possible to obtain crucial morphological information of the cluster galaxy populations. These data are supported by X-ray observations and by ground based imaging and multi-object spectroscopy. We will present results from this multi-wavelength study which is providing a comprehensive view of the evolution of structures in the universe since z~1. The structure of the ICM, galaxy and DM components of the clusters are presented and compared. The spectrophotometric properties of cluster galaxies are investigated in the context of galaxy evolution and the formation epoch of massive early-type galaxies in these clusters is estimated to be at z > 2. We will also present results from our study of the evolution of the Morphology-Density relation in clusters since z~1 down to the present day universe. Our cluster evolution studies are also being complemented by observations of protoclusters at redshift z>~2.
