The VIRMOS-VLT Deep Survey: the last 10 billion years of evolution of galaxy clustering
A. Pollo, L. Guzzo, O. Le Fevre +46
We discuss the evolution of clustering of galaxies in the Universe from the present epoch back to z ~ 2, using the first-epoch data from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). We presen…
The VLT-VIMOS Mask Preparation Software
D. Bottini, B. Garilli, D. Maccagni +34
VIMOS (VIsible Multi-Object Spectrograph) is a multi-object imaging spectrograph installed at the VLT (Very large Telescope) at the ESO (European Southern Observatory) Paranal Obse…
VVDS: early results on LSS distribution to z~1.5
O. Le Fèvre, G. Vettolani, D. Maccagni +2
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) is an on-going program to map the evolution of galaxies, large scale structures and AGNs from the redshift measurement of more than 100000 objects…
High-resolution re-simulations of massive DM halos and the Fundamental Plane of galaxy clusters
B. Lanzoni, A. Cappi, L. Ciotti
Pure N-body high-resolution re-simulations of 13 massive dark matter halos in a Lambda-CDM cosmology are presented. The resulting sample is used to investigate the physical origin…
Abell 521: Dynamical analysis of a young cluster
S. Maurogordato, D. Proust, T. C. Beers +5
We present the results of a dynamical analysis of the rich X-Ray luminous galaxy cluster Abell 521, and discuss the nature of the arc-like structure first noted by Maurogordato et…
The ESO Slice Project (ESP) Galaxy Redshift Survey. VII. The Redshift and Real-Space Correlation Functions
L. Guzzo, J. G. Bartlett, A. Cappi +17
We present analyses of the two-point correlation properties of the ESP galaxy redshift survey. From the redshift-space correlation function xi(s), we see positive clustering out to…
