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 CFH Optical PDCS survey (COP) I: The Data
C. Adami, B. Holden, F. J. Castander +5
This paper presents and gives the COP (COP: CFHT Optical PDCS; CFHT: Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope; PDCS: Palomar Distant Cluster Survey) survey data. We describe our photometric…
A Turn-over in the Galaxy Luminosity Function of the Coma Cluster Core?
C. Adami, M. P. Ulmer, F. Durret +5
Our previous study of the faint end (R21.5) of the galaxy luminosity function (GLF) was based on spectroscopic data in a small region near the Coma cluster center. In this pr…
The CFH Optical PDCS Survey (COP): First results
C. Adami, B. Holden, A. Mazure +5
We present the first results of the COP survey about the reality of the PDCS clusters, about their velocity dispersions and dynamic and about the periodicity of the structures alon…
