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…
Use of DPOSS data to study globular cluster halos: an application to M 92
V. Testa, S. R. Zaggia, S. Andreon +4
We exploited the large areal coverage offered by the DPOSS to analyze the outermost regions of the galactic globular cluster M 92. Two independent photometric reduction programs (S…
BeppoSAX observations of two high redshift clusters of galaxies: RXJ0152.7-1357 and MS2053.7-0449
R. Della Ceca, R. Scaramella, I. M. Gioia +3
We present X-ray observations of two high redshift clusters of galaxies carried out with the BeppoSAX satellite. One cluster, RXJ0152.7-1357 at z = 0.83, was selected from the ROSA…
Automated search for LSB galaxies
S. Sabatini, R. Scaramella, V. Testa +4
Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) today constitute the less known fraction of galaxies: their number density and their physical properties (e.g. luminosity, colour, dynamics)…
