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…
Emission line galaxies at 9200 A, including a multi-component galaxy system at z =6.43
Simon Lilly, Kim-Vy Tran, Mark Brodwin +3
This paper has been temporarily withdrawn by the authors. Subsequent observations with the VLT have shown that the high equivalent width line emission from the candidate z=6.4 gala…
Evidence for Galaxy Formation at High Redshift
T. Shanks, N. Metcalfe, R. Fong +3
We have shown previously that galaxy counts from the UV to the near-IR are well-fitted by simple evolutionary models where the space density of galaxies remains constant with look-…
