Description
GLACE is performing a survey of emission-line galaxies in clusters with
the main aim of studying the effect of the environment in the star
formation activity. The innovation of this work is the use of tunable
filters in scan mode to obtain low resolution spectra of the desired
emission lines. Although the survey is in its initial stage, we have
analysed two line datasets in two different clusters: Hα in Cl0024
at z=0.4 and [O II] in RXJ1257 at z = 0.9. The first is a well known
intermediate redshift cluster that has been used to test the
observational strategy. We reached the planned SFRs and we could deblend
the [N II] component, thus being able to discriminate the AGN population
from the star-forming galaxies. Also the spectral resolution is allowing
us to exploit the data for dynamical analysis. The second target is a
recently discovered cluster, that we have studied regarding its FIR and
[O II] emission. The [O II] observations are revealing a fainter and
less massive sample, when compared with the FIR emitters, showing two
different populations of star-forming galaxies. The cluster emitters
have shown that no evident correlation exist between the SFR (or sSFR)
and the environment. Nevertheless, we have found that both samples, FIR-
and [O II]-emitters, are concentrated in the areas of intermediate to
even high local density. Additionally, we explored the morphological
properties of the cluster galaxies using the non-parametric galSVM code.
