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…
Properties of Faint Distant Galaxies as seen through Gravitational Telescopes
R. Pello, T. Contini, M. Lemoine-Busserolle +5
This paper reviews the most recent developments related to the use of lensing clusters of galaxies as Gravitational Telescopes in deep Universe studies. We summarize the state of t…
Cluster galaxies: contribution to the arc statistics
Massimo Meneghetti, Micol Bolzonella, Matthias Bartelmann +2
We present the results of a set of numerical simulations aiming at evaluating the effects of cluster galaxies on the arc statistics. At this goal we use nine different galaxy clust…
Interpreting the optical data of the Hubble Deep Field South: colors, morphological number counts and photometric redshifts
M. Volonteri, P. Saracco, G. Chincarini +1
We present an analysis of the optical data of the Hubble Deep Field South. We derive F300W(AB), F450W(AB), F606W(AB) and F814W(AB) number counts for galaxies in all four bands. The…
