The SINS survey of z~2 galaxy kinematics: properties of the giant star forming clumps

R. Genzel, S. Newman, T. Jones +24

We have studied the properties of giant star forming clumps in five z~2 star-forming disks with deep SINFONI AO spectroscopy at the ESO VLT. The clumps reside in disk regions where…

Hot-Dust-Poor Type 1 Active Galactic Nuclei in the COSMOS Survey

Heng Hao, Martin Elvis, Francesca Civano +13

We report a sizable class of type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with unusually weak near-infrared (1-3μm) emission in the XMM-COSMOS type 1 AGN sample. The fraction of these "hot…

Comparison of the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey with the Munich semi-analytical model - I. Magnitude counts, redshift distribution, colour bimodality, and galaxy clustering

S. de la Torre, B. Meneux, G. De Lucia +37

This paper presents a detailed comparison between high-redshift observations from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS) and predictions from the Munich semi-analytical model of galaxy f…

zCOSMOS 10k-bright spectroscopic sample: exploring mass and environment dependence in early-type galaxies

M. Moresco, L. Pozzetti, A. Cimatti +58

We present the analysis of the U-V rest-frame color distribution and some spectral features as a function of mass and environment for two sample of early-type galaxies up to z=1 ex…

The bimodality of the 10k zCOSMOS-bright galaxies up to z ~ 1: a new statistical and portable classification based on the optical galaxy properties

G. Coppa, M. Mignoli, G. Zamorani +56

Our goal is to develop a new and reliable statistical method to classify galaxies from large surveys. We probe the reliability of the method by comparing it with a three-dimensiona…

The zCOSMOS 10k-sample: the role of galaxy stellar mass in the colour-density relation up to z=1

O. Cucciati, A. Iovino, K. Kovac +53

[Abridged] With the first 10000 spectra of the flux limited zCOSMOS sample (I<=22.5) we study the evolution of environmental effects on galaxy properties since z=1.0, and disentang…
