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…

zCOSMOS: A Large VLT/VIMOS redshift survey covering 0 < z < 3 in the COSMOS field

S. J. Lilly, O. Le Fevre, A. Renzini +42

zCOSMOS is a large redshift survey that is being undertaken in the COSMOS field using 600 hours of observation with the VIMOS spectrograph on the 8-m VLT. The survey is designed to…

Witnessing the build-up of the colour-density relation

O. Cucciati, A. Iovino, C. Marinoni +50

We investigate the redshift and luminosity evolution of the galaxy colour-density relation using the data from the First Epoch VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) on scales of R=5 h^(-1)M…

NIR Follow-Up of the VVDS 02hr Field

S. Temporin, A. Iovino, H. J. McCracken +46

We present a new K-band survey covering 623 arcmin in the VVDS 0226-0430 deep field down to a limiting magnitude K 20.5. We use the spectroscopic sample ex…

The cosmic star formation rate evolution from z=5 to z=0 from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey

L. Tresse, O. Ilbert, E. Zucca +45

We present the evolution of the comoving SFR density in the redshift range 0 < z < 5 using the first epoch data release of the VVDS, that is 11564 spectra selected at I_AB=24 over…

The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey:The ultraviolet galaxy luminosity function and luminosity density at 3<z<4

S. Paltani, O. Le Fevre, O. Ilbert +46

We study the LF of the high-z galaxy population with 3<z<4 using a purely I-band magnitude-selected spectroscopic sample obtained in the framework of the VVDS. We determine the LF…

The VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey. Color bimodality and the mix of galaxy populations up to z~2

P. Franzetti, M. Scodeggio, B. Garilli +41

In this paper we discuss the mix of star-forming and passive galaxies up to z~2, based on the first epoch VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) data.In agreement with previous works we find…

The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: the faint type-1 AGN sample

I. Gavignaud, A. Bongiorno, S. Paltani +50

We present the type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) sample extracted from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey first observations of 21000 spectra in 1.75 square degree. This sample, which is…

GMASS, Unveiling Distant Massive Galaxies with Spitzer

J. D. Kurk, A. Cimatti, E. Daddi +11

One of the main questions of galaxy formation is how and when galaxies assembled their mass. Observations suggest that most mass assembly and star formation occured at 1 < z < 3. H…

Galaxy luminosity function per morphological type up to z=1.2

O. Ilbert, S. Lauger, L. Tresse +47

We have computed the evolution of the rest-frame B-band luminosity function (LF) for bulge and disk-dominated galaxies since z=1.2. We use a sample of 605 spectroscopic redshifts w…

Accurate photometric redshifts for the CFHT Legacy Survey calibrated using the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey

O. Ilbert, S. Arnouts, H. J. McCracken +49

We present photometric redshifts for an uniquely large and deep sample of 522286 objects with i'_{AB}<25 in the Canada-France Legacy Survey ``Deep Survey'' fields, which cover a to…

Evidence for environment-dependent galaxy Luminosity Function up to z=1.5 in the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey

O. Ilbert, O. Cucciati, C. Marinoni +48

We measure the evolution of the galaxy Luminosity Function as a function of large-scale environment up to z=1.5 from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) first epoch data. The 3D galax…
