Description
The GLACE (GaLAxy Cluster Evolution) survey represents a groundbreaking effort to explore the evolution of galaxies within galaxy clusters. Using data from the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC), GLACE investigates emission line galaxies (ELGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosts across various redshifts. Recent observations within the ZwCl 0024.0+1652 cluster, situated at an intermediate redshift of z~0.4, reveal intriguing patterns of star formation suppression among ELGs.

Our analyses, incorporating multi-wavelength data, indicate a significant increase in the fraction of galaxies with suppressed star formation within ZwCl 0024.0+1652 compared to their counterparts in the field at equivalent redshifts. This finding underscores the interplay between galactic processes and environmental factors within dense cluster environments.

In our presentation, we will delve into these discoveries, aiming to unravel the mechanisms driving galaxy evolution within clusters. We will explore the characteristics of cluster environments and their influence on the evolutionary trajectories of galaxies, focusing on the particular case of ZwCl 0024.0+1652. Additionally, we will outline the future trajectory of the GLACE project, highlighting upcoming observations planned for the ZwCl 0024.0+1652 cluster. Through these efforts, we seek to deepen our understanding of the broader implications of cluster environments on galaxy evolution across cosmic epochs. By elucidating the processes at play within galaxy clusters, we aim to shed light on fundamental questions regarding the formation and evolution of cosmic structures.
