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…
NIR Follow-Up of the VVDS 02hr Field
S. Temporin, A. Iovino, H. J. McCracken +46
We present a new K-band survey covering 623 arcmin in the VVDS 0226-0430 deep field down to a limiting magnitude K 20.5. We use the spectroscopic sample ex…
Galaxy luminosity function per morphological type up to z=1.2
O. Ilbert, S. Lauger, L. Tresse +47
We have computed the evolution of the rest-frame B-band luminosity function (LF) for bulge and disk-dominated galaxies since z=1.2. We use a sample of 605 spectroscopic redshifts w…
Accurate photometric redshifts for the CFHT Legacy Survey calibrated using the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey
O. Ilbert, S. Arnouts, H. J. McCracken +49
We present photometric redshifts for an uniquely large and deep sample of 522286 objects with i'_{AB}<25 in the Canada-France Legacy Survey ``Deep Survey'' fields, which cover a to…
A large population of galaxies 9 to 12 billion years back in the history of the Universe
O. Le Fevre, S. Paltani, S. Arnouts +6
To understand the evolution of galaxies, we need to know as accurately as possible how many galaxies were present in the Universe at different epochs. Galaxies in the young Univers…
The VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey: Evolution of the galaxy luminosity function up to z=2 in first epoch data
O. Ilbert, L. Tresse, E. Zucca +44
We investigate the evolution of the galaxy luminosity function from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) from the present to z=2 in five (U, B, V, R and I) rest-frame band-passes. We u…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey - First epoch VVDS-Deep survey: 11564 spectra with 17.5<=IAB<=24, and the redshift distribution over 0< z <=5
O. Le Fevre, G. Vettolani, B. Garilli +41
This paper presents the ``First Epoch'' sample from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). The VVDS goals, observations, data reduction with VIPGI, and redshift measurement with KBRED a…
Early results from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey
O. Le Fèvre, G. Vettolani, D. Maccagni +40
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) is underway to study the evolution of galaxies, large scale structures and AGNs, from the measurement of more than 100000 spectra of faint objects.…
Dynamics of Abell 2218 from optical and near-IR imagery of arc(let)s and ROSAT/HRI X-ray map
J. -P. Kneib, Y. Mellier, R. Pello +4
A mass model of the rich cluster A2218 is presented based on optical and new near-infrared images of arc(let)s and the ROSAT/HRI X-ray map. A lensing model is proposed with two dar…
