Galaxy clusters and their evolution

Principal contact: T. Ponman (tjp@star.sr.bham.ac.uk)

Organisers: R. Bower (Durham, UK), G. Mamon (IAP, France) T. Ponman (Birmingham, UK)

This session will focus on the evolutionary development of galaxy clusters and their constituent galaxies. Clusters of galaxies are important both for their role as the end-point of the hierarchical growth of the Universe and for their application as an extreme laboratory of galaxy evolution. Studies of cluster evolution can therefore refine our understanding of structure formation, galaxy evolution and cosmic feedback. Presentations which aim to link observations with theory are especially welcomed.
