| Abstract: |
The Red-Sequence Cluster Surveys (RCS-1 and RCS-2) are large optical imaging surveys designed to create well-characterized catalogs of galaxy clusters up to z ∼ 1. The main goals for the surveys are to use cluster abundance to constrain cosmological paramters and to create a large sample of clusters for the study of cluster galaxy evolution. We describe some recent results on galaxy evolution using cluster samples defined from the 90 sq. deg RCS-1. We also describe briefly the recently completed RCS-2, which is a 1000 sq. deg survey carried out using the one-deg2 MegaCam on the CFHT in z′, i′, r′, and g′ bands, designed to obtain a sample of of several 104 clusters up to z ∼ 1. |
