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…
The Nature of the Faint Radio Population
I. Prandoni, L. Gregorini, P. Parma +4
We present the results obtained so far from the optical follow-up of the ATESP sub-mJy radio survey. The ATESP results are then compared with the ones obtained from other deep radi…
Automated spectral extraction for high multiplexing MOS and IFU observations
M. Scodeggio, A. Zanichelli, B. Garilli +2
VIMOS main distinguishing characteristic is its very high multiplex capability: in MOS mode up to 800 spectra can be acquired simultaneously, while the Integral Field Unit produces…
The VIRMOS mask manufacturing tools: a) mask preparation software
B. Garilli, D. Bottini, L. Tresse +2
VIMOS and NIRMOS are two multi Object Spectrographs being developed for the VLT. Their main scientific characteristic is the high multiplexing capability, allowing to obtain up to…
