Neutrino alert systems for Gamma Ray Bursts and Transient astronomical Sources

We have then searched for preferential orientations of faint galaxies in the Coma cluster (down I_Vega~-11.5). By applying a deconvolution method to deep u* and I band images of th…
Photometric redshifts as a tool to study the Coma cluster galaxy populations
C. Adami, O. Ilbert, R. Pello +5
We investigate the Coma cluster galaxy luminosity function (GLF) at faint magnitudes, in particular in the u* band by applying photometric redshift techniques applied to deep u*, B…

A test of the nature of cosmic acceleration using galaxy redshift distortions
L. Guzzo, M. Pierleoni, B. Meneux +48
Observations of distant supernovae indicate that the Universe is now in a phase of accelerated expansion the physical cause of which is a mystery. Formally, this requires the inclu…
