초록

The galaxy cluster is a good laboratory to test the cosmological model as well as the evolution of galaxies in the dense region. However the lack of wide and deep near-IR datasets has prevented to identify galaxy clusters at z>1. Here we merge a wide, deep near-IR datasets of UKIDSS DXS (J and K bands) and IMS (J band) with the CFHT Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) ugriz catalogue to detect galaxy clusters. We identify candidate galaxy clusters at z>0.8, where the near-IR dataset plays an important role to detect galaxies efficiently. The cluster mass is also estimated based on the cluster richness and the semi-analytical cosmological simulation.
