What are protoclusters? – Defining high-redshift galaxy clusters and protoclusters

We explore the structures of protoclusters and their relationship with high-redshift clusters using the Millennium Simulation combined with a semi-analytic model. We find that protoclusters are very extended, with 90 per cent of their mass spread across∼35 h−1 Mpc commoving at z =2 (∼30 arcmin). The...
