We measure the evolution of clustering for galaxies with different spectral types from 6495 galaxies with 17.5<=I_AB<=24 and measured spectroscopic redshift in the first epoch VIMO…
Radio-optically selected clusters of galaxies. II. The cluster sample
A. Zanichelli, R. Scaramella, G. Vettolani +3
We present a sample of 171 candidate groups and clusters of galaxies at intermediate redshift over an area of ~550 square degrees at the South Galactic Pole selected by using optic…
Automated spectral extraction for high multiplexing MOS and IFU observations
M. Scodeggio, A. Zanichelli, B. Garilli +2
VIMOS main distinguishing characteristic is its very high multiplex capability: in MOS mode up to 800 spectra can be acquired simultaneously, while the Integral Field Unit produces…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: the group catalogue
O. Cucciati, C. Marinoni, A. Iovino +39
[Abridged] We present a homogeneous and complete catalogue of optical groups identified in the purely flux limited (17.5<=I<=24.0) VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). We use mock catalog…
VVDS-SWIRE: Clustering evolution from a spectroscopic sample of galaxies with redshift 0.2<z<2.1 selected from Spitzer IRAC 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron photometry
S. de la Torre, O. Le Fevre, S. Arnouts +53
By combining the VVDS with the SWIRE data, we have built the currently largest spectroscopic sample of galaxies selected in the rest-frame near-infrared. These allow us to investig…
The VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey. The dependence of clustering on galaxy stellar mass at z~1
B. Meneux, L. Guzzo, B. Garilli +43
Aims: We use the VVDS-Deep first-epoch data to measure the dependence of galaxy clustering on galaxy stellar mass, at z~0.85. Methods: We measure the projected correlation function…
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS). Environmental effects shaping the galaxy stellar mass function
I. Davidzon, O. Cucciati, M. Bolzonella +38
We exploit the first public data release of VIPERS to investigate environmental effects in galaxy evolution between and . The large number of spectroscopic redshift…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: Tracing the galaxy stellar mass assembly history over the last 8Gyr
D. Vergani, M. Scodeggio, L. Pozzetti +46
We selected a mass-limited sample of 4048 objects from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey in the redshift interval 0.5<z<1.3. We used the amplitude of the 4000 Balmer break (Dn4000) to sepa…
Eddington ratios of faint AGN at intermediate redshift: Evidence for a population of half-starved black holes
I. Gavignaud, L. Wisotzki, A. Bongiorno +51
We use one of the deepest spectroscopic samples of broad line active galactic nuclei (AGN) currently available, extracted from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), to compute MgII and…
An International Survey of Front-End Receivers and Observing Performance of Telescopes for Radio Astronomy
P. Bolli, A. Orfei, A. Zanichelli +18
This paper presents a survey of microwave front-end receivers installed at radio telescopes throughout the World. This unprecedented analysis was conducted as part of a review of f…
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS): Galaxy segregation inside filaments at
N. Malavasi, S. Arnouts, D. Vibert +42
We present the first quantitative detection of large-scale filamentary structure at in the large cosmological volume probed by the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshif…
