Cluster galaxies at z ≳ 1.5 – the SF vs quiescent views On-going star formation Some fraction of already evolved even deep into cluster cores galaxies in the core population (Tran+2010, Hayashi+2010, Santos+2011, Fassbender+2011, Stanford+2012, Zeimann+2012, Brodwin+2013, Alberts 2013, Bayliss+2014, Stacey+2014, Ma+2014, Santos+2015, Alberts+2016, …) (Kurk+2009, Papovich+2010, Andreon+2011, 2014, Spitler+2012, Stanford+2012, Zeimann+2012, Tadaki+2012,Tanaka+2013ab, Strazzullo+2013, Newman+2014, Brodwin+ 2013 Cooke+2015, … ) Newman+ 2014

Cluster diversity and/or mass dependence? Dependence of galaxy population properties on cluster mass are possible/likely, but younger populations and/or high SF levels found also in very massive clusters Santos+2015 Stanford+2012
What clusters ? By z ≈ 2, an average mid-10 14 M ◉ today’s cluster is formally well into group regime… Brodwin+2012 Fakhouri+2010
A „typical“ cluster progenitor, Cl J1449+0856 at z=2 (Gobat+2011, 2013, Strazzullo+2013, Valentino+15,16) IR-selected, X-ray detected (Gobat+2011). A low-mass structure typical of a massive cluster progenitor at z~2. • massive quiescent (often morphologically early-type) galaxies in the cluster central region (<200kpc) • at the same time – and in contrast with z<1.5 cluster cores – central regions also host still actively star forming sources Strazzullo+13 Strazzullo+13

Red sequence seeds at z~2 A clear, small population of red sources …
Red sequence seeds at z~2 … mostly seemingly quiescent galaxies
Red sequence seeds at z~2 … clearly segregated deep into the cluster center r<150 kpc
Red sequence seeds at z~2 (… independent of photo-zs… ) Statistically subtracted CMD - (largely) independent of individual membership determination.
Red sequence seeds at z~2 Quite a clear signature of the inner, densest cluster core r<150 kpc Statistically subtracted CMD - (largely) independent of individual membership determination.

A different viewpoint – a 10x overdensity of ALMA 870 μ m sources Further constrains BCG complex • All but one sources on the bright red-sequence are undetected at • 870 μ m (<2 σ , ~40M ⊙ /yr) ➜ would suggest suppressed SF for most massive red galaxies

BCG building site… SF/suppressed? F105W F140W Ks quiescent r ∼ 1.8“, ~15 kpc 870 μ m-source, ~200 M ⊙ /yr At the cluster center, a complex of multiple sources, apparently a mixture of star-forming and suppressed/quiescent galaxies, is likely the future BCG still in its build-up phase.
In densest regions of (one, supposedly) ordinary cluster progenitor • environment(s), some massive galaxies are already evolved and make for a first red sequence seedling at z~2. This population is confined to the very central cluster region. Star formation is still occurring even deep into the cluster core - • different selections and observations highlight different aspects of a likely diverse galaxy population . Among the points deserving further thought: the link between suppression of star formation and densest • environments at this redshift - this tells something more/different than environmental effects due to few/several billion years spent in a massive hot halo stellar populations of passive cluster galaxies vs field analogs -- at z ≈ 2 •
