The XMM-LSS survey: optical assessment and properties of different X-ray selected cluster classes

C. Adami, A. Mazure, M. Pierre +29

XMM and Chandra opened a new area for the study of clusters of galaxies. Not only for cluster physics but also, for the detection of faint and distant clusters that were inaccessib…

Comparison of the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey with the Munich semi-analytical model - I. Magnitude counts, redshift distribution, colour bimodality, and galaxy clustering

S. de la Torre, B. Meneux, G. De Lucia +37

This paper presents a detailed comparison between high-redshift observations from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) and predictions from the Munich semi-analytical model of galaxy f…

zCOSMOS 10k-bright spectroscopic sample: exploring mass and environment dependence in early-type galaxies

M. Moresco, L. Pozzetti, A. Cimatti +58

We present the analysis of the U-V rest-frame color distribution and some spectral features as a function of mass and environment for two sample of early-type galaxies up to z=1 ex…

The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: the contribution of minor mergers to the growth of L_B >= L*_B galaxies since z ~ 1 from spectroscopically identified pairs

C. López-Sanjuan, O. Le Fèvre, L. de Ravel +14

In this work we measure the merger fraction, f_m, of L_B >= L*_B galaxies in the VVDS-Deep spectroscopic Survey. We define kinematical close pairs as those galaxies with a separati…

The bimodality of the 10k zCOSMOS-bright galaxies up to z ~ 1: a new statistical and portable classification based on the optical galaxy properties

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

Our goal is to develop a new and reliable statistical method to classify galaxies from large surveys. We probe the reliability of the method by comparing it with a three-dimensiona…

The zCOSMOS 10k-sample: the role of galaxy stellar mass in the colour-density relation up to z=1

O. Cucciati, A. Iovino, K. Kovac +53

[Abridged] With the first 10000 spectra of the flux limited zCOSMOS sample (I<=22.5) we study the evolution of environmental effects on galaxy properties since z=1.0, and disentang…
