OVERVIEW:
The Galaxy Transformations in Overdense Systems (GaTOS)
collaboration is a joint effort among researchers mainly at the
Universidad de La Serena (ULS), Universidad Católica de
Chile (PUC), and Universidad de Concepción (UdeC) in
Chile. This collaboration is further strengthened with the active
participation of colleagues from the Universidad Andrés
Bello (UNAB), ESO (Vitacura), Gemini (South), NOAO (South), the
Observatory of Córdoba and the University of Sao Paulo. The
driver of the collaboration is the study of galaxy transformations
in different environments. This problem is addressed from both
observational and theoretical points of view. Our team makes use
of state-of-the-art obsevational facilities, mostly located in the
north of Chile, to obtain high-quality spectrophotometric data on
galaxies living within a range of halo-mass envoronments, such as
galaxy clusters, galaxy groups, galaxy filaments, and the
field. Moreover, our team has access to state-of-the-art
simulations and advanced computational facilities to study in
detail the physics of the environmental effects on the evolution
of galaxies.
