Caught in the act - massive cluster formation at z=3-7 witnessed by APEX/ALMA
Finding and tracing the progenitors of today's massive clusters is challenging but observations of these rare systems are rich in information on cluster assembly, including brightest cluster galaxy formation, the build up of the red sequence and intra-cluster light, heating and metal-enrichment...

Finding and tracing the progenitors of today's massive clusters is challenging but observations of these rare systems are rich in information on cluster assembly, including brightest cluster galaxy formation, the build up of the red sequence and intra-cluster light, heating and metal-enrichment in the forming intra-cluster medium, the triggering and quenching of both star-formation and of active galactic nuclei, and the in-fall of matter along filaments of the cosmic web. In a multi-band survey over 2500 deg2, the South Pole Telescope discovered a population of rare, extremely bright (S1.4 mm > 20 mJy) millimetre-selected sources. Our ALMA 870μm imaging showed that ∼ 90% of these sources are gravitationally lensed DSFGs at z ∼ 4. However, ∼ 10% of the SPT sources show no evidence for lensing but break-up into individual galaxies with ALMA and thus show all expected properties of the most active phase of early cluster formation predicted by cosmological simulations.
