Color distribution of galaxies in the CFHTLS-Deep fields
F. Ienna, R. Pello
We present the results obtained on the color distribution of galaxies in the CFHTLS-Deep Field Survey Data Release 03. Photometric redshifts have been computed using a standard SED…
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 build-up of the colour-magnitude relation in galaxy clusters since z~0.8
Gabriella De Lucia, Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca +11
Using galaxy clusters from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey, we study how the distribution of galaxies along the colour-magnitude relation has evolved since z~0.8. While red-sequence…
The CFHTLS Strong Lensing Legacy Survey: I. Survey overview and T0002 release sample
R. A. Cabanac, C. Alard, M. Dantel-Fort +10
AIMS: We present data from the CFHTLS Strong Lensing Legacy Survey (SL2S). Due to the unsurpassed combined depth, area and image quality of the Canada-France-Hawaii Legacy Survey i…
Spatial variations of the optical galaxy luminosity functions and red sequences in the Coma cluster: clues to its assembly history
C. Adami, F. Durret, A. Mazure +4
Clusters of galaxies are believed to be at the intersections of cosmological filaments and to grow by accreting matter from these filaments. Such continuous infall has major conseq…
Searching for the first galaxies through gravitational lenses
D. Schaerer, R. Pello, J. Richard +7
Observing the first galaxies formed during the reionisation epoch, i.e. approximately within the first billion years after the Big Bang, remains one of the challenges of contempora…
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 X-ray properties of optically-selected z>0.6 clusters in the ESO Distant Cluster Survey
O. Johnson, P. Best, D. Zaritsky +11
We present XMM-Newton observations of three optically-selected z > 0.6 clusters from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS), comprising the first results of a planned X-ray survey…
A deep wide survey of faint low surface brightness galaxies in the direction of the Coma cluster of galaxies
C. Adami, R. Scheidegger, M. P. Ulmer +8
We report on a search for faint (R total magnitude fainter than 21) and low surface brightness galaxies (R central surface brightness fainter than ~24) (fLSBs) in a 0.72x0.82 deg2…
Deep and wide field imaging of the Coma cluster: the data
C. Adami, J. P. Picat, C. Savine +10
We have obtained deep and wide field imaging of the Coma cluster of galaxies with the CFH12K camera at CFHT in the B, V, R and I filters. In this paper, we present the observations…
Probing unexplored territories with MUSE: a second generation instrument for the VLT
R. Bacon, S. Bauer, P. Boehm +57
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a second-generation VLT panoramic integral-field spectrograph under preliminary design study. MUSE has a field of 1x1 arcmin**2 samp…
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…
