Description

Aiming at bridging the gap between the star formation properties of mature, low redshift 
clusters and young, high redshift ones, we have built  a database of nine clusters in 
the range 0.39 < z < 1.63 observed by the Herschel Space Observatory.

We have compiled multi-wavelength catalogues of cluster member candidates determining their
photometric redshifts based on SED-fitting and Monte Carlo simulations and built a 
comprehensive database containing a number of physical properties (e.g. stellar mass, 
SFR, projected local density). In addition, whenever possible we have discriminated the 
AGN population by different diagnostics and performed a morphological classification
for those clusters at z<1. 

With this dataset, we are addressing a number of outstanding questions that include: how 
does the SF and AGN activity vary with the local density? Is there there a reversal of the 
SFR-density relation in this sample? how the total SFR relates to the clusters' stellar 
mass? Attempting to answer these questions, some early science results are outlined in this poster.
