First Results from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey

Abstract.

We present initial results from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. The survey, a two year ESO large program, has bad most of the optical imaging and about half of the infrared imaging completed on the sample of 20 high-redshift clusters. From the optical imaging we perform a weak lensing analysis and obtain measurements of the masses of the clusters. We also perform a bulge-disk decomposition on the cluster galaxies, and find that, with two notable exceptions, the higher mass clusters have a higher fraction of bulge dominated galaxies.
