Query: A Wide-Field Study of the z~0.8 Cluster RX J0152.7-1357: the Role of
  Environment in the Formation of the Red-Sequence   [ABRIDGED] We present the first results from the largest spectroscopic survey
to date of an intermediate redshift galaxy cluster, the z=0.834 cluster RX
J0152.7-1357. We use the colors of galaxies, assembled from a D~12 Mpc region
centered on the cluster, to investigate the properties of the red-sequence as a
function of density and clustercentric radius. Our wide-field multi-slit survey
with a low-dispersion prism in the IMACS spectrograph at Magellan allowed us to
identify 475 new members of the cluster and its surrounding large scale
structure with a redshift accuracy of dz/(1+z)~1% and a contamination rate of
~2% for galaxies with i<23.75 mag. We combine these new members with the 279
previously known spectroscopic members to give a total of 754 galaxies from
which we obtain a mass-limited sample of 300 galaxies with stellar masses
M>4x10^{10} M_sun. We find that the red galaxy fraction is 93+/-3% in the two
merging cores of the cluster and declines to a level of 64+/-3% at projected
clustercentric radii R>~3 Mpc. At these large projected distances, the
correlation between clustercentric radius and local density is nonexistent.
This allows an assessment of the influence of the local environment on galaxy
evolution, as opposed to mechanisms that operate on cluster scales. Even beyond
R>3 Mpc we find an increasing fraction of red galaxies with increasing local
density. The red fraction at the highest local densities in two groups at R>3
Mpc matches the red fraction found in the two cores. Strikingly, galaxies at
intermediate densities at R>3 Mpc, that are not group members, also show signs
of an enhanced red fraction. Our results point to such intermediate density
regions and the groups in the outskirts of the cluster, as sites where the
local environment influences the transition of galaxies onto the red-sequence.
