We present the first high-redshift gal axy cluster candidate sample
from the HIROCS survey found in the COSMOS field. It results from
a combination of public COSMOS with proprietary H-band data on a 0.66
°
part of the COSMOS field and comprises 12 candidates in the redshift
range 1.23 ≤ z ≤ 1.55. We find an increasing fraction of blue
cluster members with increasing redshift. Many of the blue and even
some of the reddest member galaxies exhibit disturbed morphologies
as well as signs of interaction.
