zCOSMOS: A Large VLT/VIMOS redshift survey covering 0 < z < 3 in the COSMOS field

S. J. Lilly, O. Le Fevre, A. Renzini +42

zCOSMOS is a large redshift survey that is being undertaken in the COSMOS field using 600 hours of observation with the VIMOS spectrograph on the 8-m VLT. The survey is designed to…

UVES/VLT high resolution spectroscopy of GRB 050730 afterglow: probing the features of the GRB environment

V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, E. Meurs +44

We analyze high resolution spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of GRB050730, obtained with UVES@VLT about hours after the GRB trigger. The spectrum shows that the I…

Mass downsizing and "top-down" assembly of early-type galaxies

A. Cimatti, E. Daddi, A. Renzini

We present a new analysis of the rest-frame B-band COMBO-17 and DEEP2 luminosity functions (LFs) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) as a function of luminosity and mass. Our aim is to p…
