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…
FUSE Observations towards HD 34078 Detection of highly excited H2 and HD
Franck Le Petit, Patrick Boisse, Guillaume Pineau des Forets +4
We present FUSE observations of the extincted O9.5 star, HD 34078. The 19 first levels of H2 are detected (i.e. from J=0 to v=1, J=5) as well as HD in its two first levels. The exc…
Lensing properties of 7 damped Lyman-alpha absorbing galaxy-QSO pairs
Vincent Le Brun, Alain Smette, Jean Surdej +1
Le Brun et al. (1997) presented the first identifications of the galaxies giving rise to 7 intermediate redshift damped Ly-alpha (DLA) absorption systems. Here, we study the gravit…
Discovery of a z=0.808 damped Lyman-alpha system candidate in a UV selected quasar spectrum
V. Le Brun, M. Viton, B. Milliard
We present the observation of a new intermediate redshift damped Lyman-alpha absorption system candidate, discovered in the course of a spectroscopic follow-up for identifying the…
