Descripción
OSIRIS (Optical System for Imaging and low/intermediate-Resolution
Integrated Spectroscopy) will be one of the Day One instruments for the
Spanish 10.4m telescope GTC at La Palma. One of the scientific projects
to be addressed with OSIRIS is the study of the galaxy population in
clusters of galaxies at high redshift. Part of the cluster sample could
be selected by means of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect as provided by the
Gran Telescopio Milimétrico (GTM). The optical survey will be
complemented using other future facilities in the NIR such as the
Espectrógrafo Multiobjeto InfraRojo (EMIR), also in the GTC. The
spectroscopic and photometric capabilities of PACS and SPIRE covering
the spectral range 60 - 670 microns, will both feed this survey and
allow us to complement and extend it. In summary, the combination of the
GTM, OSIRIS and FIRST capabilities will likely provide a deep insight
into the evolution of clusters of galaxies and galaxies in clusters.
Although only one of the OSIRIS scientific projects is outlined here,
most of the OSIRIS projects, developed and carried out by the OSIRIS
Scientific Team, will use FIRST instruments to tackle their scientific
objectives.
