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…
Cosmology with the Space-Luminosity Distribution of Virialized Halos
Christian Marinoni, Michael J. Hudson, Giuliano Giuricin
We derive the observed luminosity function of virialized systems. Coupling this statistic with the mass function predicted by CDM cosmogonies we obtain the functional behavior of t…
Spectral Reduction Software for the DEEP2 Redshift Survey
Christian Marinoni, Marc Davis, Alison L. Coil +1
The DEEP2/DEIMOS redshift survey, which will begin observing in the Spring of 2002, will gather high quality spectra on ~60000 galaxies in order to study the evolution of the prope…
3D Identification and Reconstruction of z~1 Clusters: Prospects for the DEEP2 Redshift Survey
Christian Marinoni, Marc Davis, Jeffrey A. Newman +1
We have developed a geometrical method based on 3D Voronoi polyhedra and Delaunay tessellation for identifying and reconstructing clusters of galaxies in the next generation of dee…
