The dependence of Galactic outflows on the properties and orientation of zCOSMOS galaxies at z ~ 1

R. Bordoloi, S. J. Lilly, E. Hardmeier +44

We present an analysis of cool outflowing gas around galaxies, traced by MgII absorption lines in the co-added spectra of a sample of 486 zCOSMOS galaxies at 1 < z < 1.5. These gal…

Obscured AGN at z~1 from the zCOSMOS-Bright Survey I. Selection and Optical Properties of a [Ne v]-selected sample

M. Mignoli, C. Vignali, R. Gilli +46

A sample of 94 narrow line AGN with 0.65<z<1.20 has been selected from the 20k-Bright zCOSMOS galaxy sample by detection of the high-ionization [NeV]3426 line. Taking advantage of…

Proto-groups at 1.8<z<3 in the zCOSMOS-deep sample

C. Diener, S. J. Lilly, C. Knobel +48

We identify 42 candidate groups lying between 1.8<z<3.0 from a sample of 3502 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the zCOSMOS-deep redshift survey within the same redshift int…

The dominant role of mergers in the size evolution of massive early-type galaxies since z ~ 1

C. López-Sanjuan, O. Le Fèvre, O. Ilbert +60

In this paper we measure the merger fraction and rate, both minor and major, of massive early-type galaxies (M_star >= 10^11 M_Sun) in the COSMOS field, and study their role in mas…

A journey from the outskirts to the cores of groups I: Color- and mass-segregation in 20K-zCOSMOS groups

V. Presotto, A. Iovino, M. Scodeggio +49

Using the group catalog obtained from zCOSMOS spectroscopic data and the complementary photometric data from the COSMOS survey, we explore segregation effects occurring in groups o…

Testing gravity on large scales. The skewness of the galaxy distribution at z~1

C. Marinoni, L. Guzzo, A. Cappi +54

We study the evolution of the low-order moments of the galaxy overdensity distribution over the redshift interval 0.7<z<1.5. We find that the variance and the normalized skewness e…
