The Environments of Active Galactic Nuclei within the zCOSMOS Density Field

J. D. Silverman, K. Kovac, C. Knobel +58

The impact of environment on AGN activity up to z~1 is assessed by utilizing a mass-selected sample of galaxies from the 10k catalog of the zCOSMOS spectroscopic redshift survey. W…

The spatial clustering of X-ray selected AGN in the XMM-COSMOS field

R. Gilli, G. Zamorani, T. Miyaji +70

We study the spatial clustering of 538 X-ray selected AGN in the 2 deg^2 XMM-COSMOS field that are spectroscopically identified to I_{AB}<23 and span the redshift range z=0.2-3.0.…

The VVDS-VLA Deep Field - IV: Radio-optical properties

S. Bardelli, E. Zucca, M. Bolzonella +51

(abridged) We use the 1.4 GHz VIMOS-VLA Deep Survey and the optical VVDS and the CFHT-LS to compare the properties of radio loud galaxies with respect to the whole population of op…

Ongoing and co-evolving star formation in zCOSMOS galaxies hosting Active Galactic Nuclei

J. D. Silverman, F. Lamareille, C. Maier +60

We present a study of the host galaxies of AGN selected from the zCOSMOS survey to establish if accretion onto supermassive black holes and star formation are explicitly linked up…

The zCOSMOS redshift survey: the three-dimensional classification cube and bimodality in galaxy physical properties

M. Mignoli, G. Zamorani, M. Scodeggio +56

Aims. We investigate the relationships between three main optical galaxy observables (spectral properties, colours, and morphology), exploiting the data set provided by the COSMOS/…

The close environment of 24 micron galaxies at 0.6<z<1.0 in the COSMOS field

K. I. Caputi, K. Kovac, M. Bolzonella +62

We investigate the close environment of 203 Spitzer 24 micron-selected sources at 0.6<z<1.0 using zCOSMOS-bright redshifts and spectra of I<22.5 AB mag galaxies, over 1.5 sq. deg.…

The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey :Evolution of the major merger rate since z~1 from spectroscopicaly confirmed galaxy pairs

L. de Ravel, O. Le Fèvre, L. Tresse +48

From the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey we use a sample of 6447 galaxies with I_{AB} < 24 to identify 251 pairs of galaxies, each member with a secure spectroscopic redshift, which are clos…

A test of the nature of cosmic acceleration using galaxy redshift distortions

L. Guzzo, M. Pierleoni, B. Meneux +48

Observations of distant supernovae indicate that the Universe is now in a phase of accelerated expansion the physical cause of which is a mystery. Formally, this requires the inclu…
