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.
