Matter in the Local Universe
L. da Costa
In this contribution we review the large body of work carried out over the past two decades to probe the dark matter in the local universe using redshift survey and peculiar veloci…
ESO Imaging Survey. Deep Public Survey: Infrared Data for the Chandra Deep Field South
B. Vandame, L. F. Olsen, H. E. Jorgensen +12
This paper presents new J and Ks near-infrared data obtained from observations of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) conducted at the ESO 3.5m New Technology Telescope (NTT). The…
Public Imaging Surveys: Scientific Opportunities
L. A. N. da Costa
The start of operation of several large-aperture telescopes has motivated several groups around the world to conduct deep large imaging surveys, complementing other wide-area but s…
Spectroscopic confirmation of clusters from the ESO imaging survey
M. Ramella, A. Biviano, W. Boschin +8
We measure redshifts for 67 galaxies in the field of six cluster candidates from the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS). The cluster candidates are selected in the EIS patches C and D among…
The First VLT FORS1 spectra of Lyman-break candidates in the HDF-S and AXAF Deep Field
S. Cristiani, I. Appenzeller, S. Arnouts +9
We report on low-resolution multi-object spectroscopy of 30 faint targets (R \~ 24-25) in the HDF-S and AXAF deep field obtained with the VLT Focal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrogr…
ESO Imaging Survey: Past Activities and Future Prospects
L. da Costa, S. Arnouts, C. Benoist +9
The ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) is an ongoing project to carry out public imaging surveys to support programs on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The first phase of the project sta…
