The Zurich Extragalactic Bayesian Redshift Analyzer (ZEBRA), version 1.0 -- User manual

R. Feldmann, C. M. Carollo, C. Porciani +2

ZEBRA, the Zurich Extragalactic Bayesian Redshift Analyzer, is a tool for estimating redshifts and template types of galaxies using medium- and broad-band photometric data. ZEBRA e…

Tidal debris in elliptical galaxies as tracers of mergers with disks

R. Feldmann, L. Mayer, C. M. Carollo

We use a set of high-resolution N-body simulations of binary galaxy mergers to show that the morphologies of the tidal features that are seen around a large fraction of nearby, mas…

The redshift evolution of early-type galaxies in COSMOS: Do massive early-type galaxies form by dry mergers?

C. Scarlata, C. M. Carollo, S. J. Lilly +26

ABRIDGED: We study the evolution since z~1 of the rest-frame B luminosity function of the early-type galaxies (ETGs) in ~0.7 deg^2 in the COSMOS field. In order to identify ALL pro…

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…

COSMOS morphological classification with ZEST (the Zurich Estimator of Structural Types) and the evolution since z=1 of the Luminosity Function of early-, disk-, and irregular galaxies

C. Scarlata, C. M. Carollo, S. J. Lilly +26

(ABRIDGED) Motivated by the desire to reliably and automatically classify structure of thousands of COSMOS galaxies, we present ZEST, the Zurich Estimator of Structural Types. To c…

Simulating the COSMOS: The fraction of merging galaxies at high redshift

P. Kampczyk, S. J. Lilly, C. M. Carollo +6

Simulations of nearby (0.015 < z < 0.025) SDSS galaxies have been used to reproduce as accurately as possible the appearance that they would have on COSMOS ACS images if they had b…
