Description
Context. Clusters of galaxies are located at the intersection of cosmic
filaments and are still accreting galaxies and groups along these
preferential directions. However, because of their relatively low
contrast on the sky, filaments are difficult to detect (unless a large
amount of spectroscopic data are available), and unambiguous detections
have been limited until now to relatively low redshifts (z< ~ 0.3).
Aims: This project is aimed at searching for extensions and
filaments around clusters, traced by galaxies selected to be at the
cluster redshift based on the red sequence. In the 0.4
