Description
In the framework of the GLACE project, we present the preliminary
results of a mapping of emission lines (Hα+[NII], Hβ and
[OIII]) in the rich cluster Cl0024+1654 at z=0.4, using the red tunable
filter of OSIRIS/GTC. This emission-line survey has been designed to
detect emission-line galaxies (ELGs) whose fluxes correspond to SFR up
to 2 M_&sun;/yr. These observations, with S/N>3, have a spatial
coverage of at least two virial radii. Our aim is to study how galaxy
properties change as a function of environment, to address the key
questions about the physical processes acting upon the infalling
galaxies during the course of hierarchical growth of clusters. In this
poster, we describe the design of the observations and the different
stages of data reduction process (image preparation, object detection
and selection, flux calibration) to convert raw data obtained using TF
imaging in valuable scientific information. Finally, we present a
preliminary catalog of 103 star forming galaxies whose spatial
distribution maps the presence of a structure falling onto the cluster
core.
