“…The first results have already proved surprising. While the excess fraction of quenched cluster galaxies, relative to the surrounding field at the same epoch, is just as high as we observe at z = 0, the shape of the stellar mass function of quiescent galaxies is independent of environment (Chan et al 2019;van der Burg et al 2020). Similar to low-redshift clusters, the distribution of star formation rates (SFRs) among the star-forming population shows little or no environmental dependence (Old et al 2020).…”

“…The sky subtraction in particular is not optimal, as effects from bright sources remain in the sky frames, leading to non-Poisson noise in the background. However, for most systems we have wider field z-band coverage from other facilities that supersedes the GMOS imaging (van der Burg et al 2020).…”

“…Our knowledge of galaxy evolution in the general field population has continued to advance to earlier and earlier times, thanks to both photometric and sparsely sampled spectroscopic surveys (e.g. Abraham et al 2004;Le Fèvre et al 2005Lilly et al 2009; van der Burg, Hildebrandt & Erben 2010; Muzzin et al 2013;Newman et al 2013;Tomczak et al 2014;Scodeggio et al 2018). As these surveys tend to be over relatively narrow fields, they contain few, if any, massive galaxy clusters.…”

“…The Gemini CLuster Astrophysics Spectroscopic Survey (GCLASS; Muzzin et al 2012) and Galaxy Environment Evolution Collaboration 2 (GEEC2; Balogh et al 2014) were independent, but contemporaneous, GMOS surveys of highand low-mass clusters, respectively, over the redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.3. These surveys provided a new perspective on galaxy evolution within dense environments (Balogh et al 2011;Mok et al 2013Mok et al , 2014Noble et al 2013Noble et al , 2016Muzzin et al 2014;Foltz et al 2015Foltz et al , 2018, the stellar mass content and dynamics of clusters (Hou et al 2013;van der Burg et al , 2014Biviano et al 2016), and the growth of the brightest cluster galaxies (Lidman et al 2012(Lidman et al , 2013. Among other things, they revealed that the fraction of quenched galaxies in clusters was already very high by z = 1, but that it has been established in a fundamentally different way from that in local clusters (Balogh et al 2016).…”

We present the first public data release of the GOGREEN and GCLASS surveys of galaxies in dense environments, spanning a redshift range 0.8 < z < 1.5. The surveys consist of deep, multiwavelength photometry and extensive Gemini GMOS spectroscopy of galaxies in 26 overdense systems ranging in halo mass from small groups to the most massive clusters. The objective of both projects was primarily to understand how the evolution of galaxies is affected by their environment, and to determine the physical processes that lead to the quenching of star formation. There was an emphasis on obtaining unbiased spectroscopy over a wide stellar mass range (M ≳ 2 × 1010 M⊙), throughout and beyond the cluster virialized regions. The final spectroscopic sample includes 2771 unique objects, of which 2257 have reliable spectroscopic redshifts. Of these, 1704 have redshifts in the range 0.8 < z < 1.5, and nearly 800 are confirmed cluster members. Imaging spans the full optical and near-infrared wavelength range, at depths comparable to the UltraVISTA survey, and includes HST/WFC3 F160W (GOGREEN) and F140W (GCLASS). This data release includes fully reduced images and spectra, with catalogues of advanced data products including redshifts, line strengths, star formation rates, stellar masses and rest-frame colours. Here we present an overview of the data, including an analysis of the spectroscopic completeness and redshift quality.

Utilizing spectroscopic observations taken for the VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey (VUDS), new observations from Keck/DEIMOS, and publicly available observations of large samples of star-forming galaxies, we report here on the relationship between the star-formation rate (SFR) and the local environment (δgal) of galaxies in the early universe (2 < z < 5). Unlike what is observed at lower redshifts (z ≲ 2), we observe a definite, nearly monotonic increase in the average SFR with increasing galaxy overdensity over more than an order of magnitude in δgal. The robustness of this trend is quantified by accounting for both uncertainties in our measurements and galaxy populations that are either underrepresented or not present in our sample (e.g., extremely dusty star-forming and quiescent galaxies), and we find that the trend remains significant under all circumstances. This trend appears to be primarily driven by the fractional increase of galaxies in high-density environments that are more massive in their stellar content and are forming stars at a higher rate than their less massive counterparts. We find that, even after stellar mass effects are accounted for, there remains a weak but significant SFR–δgal trend in our sample implying that additional environmentally related processes are helping to drive this trend. We also find clear evidence that the average SFR of galaxies in the densest environments increases with increasing redshift. These results lend themselves to a picture in which massive gas-rich galaxies coalesce into proto-cluster environments at z ≳ 3, interact with other galaxies or with a forming large-scale medium, subsequently using or losing most of their gas in the process, and begin to seed the nascent red sequence that is present in clusters at slightly lower redshifts.
