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 Ages of Early-Type Galaxies at z~1
Sperello di Serego Alighieri, Alessandro Bressan, Lucia Pozzetti
The study of the ages of early-type galaxies and their dependence on galaxy mass and environment is crucial for understanding the formation and early evolution of galaxies. We revi…
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…
Extragalactic Background Light, MACHOs, and the Cosmic Stellar Baryon Budget
Piero Madau, Francesco Haardt, Lucia Pozzetti
The optical/far-IR extragalactic background light (EBL) from both resolved and unresolved extragalactic sources is an indicator of the total luminosity of cosmic structures, as the…
The Optical Extragalactic Background Light from Resolved Galaxies
Lucia Pozzetti, Piero Madau
We discuss the ultraviolet to near-IR galaxy counts from the deepest imaging surveys, including the northern and southern Hubble Deep Fields. The logarithmic slope of the galaxy nu…
