The spatial clustering of X-ray selected AGN in the XMM-COSMOS field
R. Gilli, G. Zamorani, T. Miyaji +70
We study the spatial clustering of 538 X-ray selected AGN in the 2 deg^2 XMM-COSMOS field that are spectroscopically identified to I_{AB}<23 and span the redshift range z=0.2-3.0.…
The zCOSMOS redshift survey: the three-dimensional classification cube and bimodality in galaxy physical properties
M. Mignoli, G. Zamorani, M. Scodeggio +56
Aims. We investigate the relationships between three main optical galaxy observables (spectral properties, colours, and morphology), exploiting the data set provided by the COSMOS/…
Eddington ratios of faint AGN at intermediate redshift: Evidence for a population of half-starved black holes
I. Gavignaud, L. Wisotzki, A. Bongiorno +51
We use one of the deepest spectroscopic samples of broad line active galactic nuclei (AGN) currently available, extracted from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS), to compute MgII and…
COSMOS Photometric Redshifts with 30-bands for 2-deg2
O. Ilbert, P. Capak, M. Salvato +60
We present accurate photometric redshifts in the 2-deg2 COSMOS field. The redshifts are computed with 30 broad, intermediate, and narrow bands covering the UV (GALEX), Visible-NIR…
The Vimos VLT Deep Survey: Global properties of 20000 galaxies in the I_AB<=22.5 WIDE survey
B. Garilli, O. Le Fèvre, L. Guzzo +44
The VVDS-Wide survey has been designed with the general aim of tracing the large-scale distribution of galaxies at z~1 on comoving scales reaching ~100Mpc/h, while providing a good…
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…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: Testing the gravitational instability paradigm at z ~ 1
C. Marinoni, L. Guzzo, A. Cappi +5
We have reconstructed the three-dimensional density fluctuation maps to z ~ 1.5 using the distribution of galaxies observed in the VVDS-Deep survey. We use this overdensity field t…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: The K-band follow-up in the 0226-04 field
S. Temporin, A. Iovino, M. Bolzonella +45
AIMS. We present a new Ks-band survey that represents a significant extension to the previous wide-field Ks-band imaging survey within the 0226-04 field of the VIMOS-VLT deep surve…
First catalog of strong lens candidates in the COSMOS field
Cecile Faure, Jean-Paul Kneib, Giovanni Covone +19
We present the first catalog of 67 strong galaxy-galaxy lens candidates discovered in the 1.64 square degree Hubble Space Telescope COSMOS survey. Twenty of these systems display m…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey: Tracing the galaxy stellar mass assembly history over the last 8Gyr
D. Vergani, M. Scodeggio, L. Pozzetti +46
We selected a mass-limited sample of 4048 objects from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey in the redshift interval 0.5<z<1.3. We used the amplitude of the 4000 Balmer break (Dn4000) to sepa…
The VVDS type-1 AGN sample: The faint end of the luminosity function
A. Bongiorno, G. Zamorani, I. Gavignaud +51
In a previous paper (Gavignaud et al. 2006), we presented the type-1 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) sample obtained from the first epoch data of the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). The…
The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. The Assembly History of the Stellar Mass in Galaxies: from the Young to the Old Universe
L. Pozzetti, M. Bolzonella, F. Lamareille +47
We present a detailed analysis of the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function of galaxies up to z=2.5 as obtained from the VVDS. We estimate the stellar mass from broad-band photometry using…
VVDS-SWIRE: Clustering evolution from a spectroscopic sample of galaxies with redshift 0.2<z<2.1 selected from Spitzer IRAC 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron photometry
S. de la Torre, O. Le Fevre, S. Arnouts +53
By combining the VVDS with the SWIRE data, we have built the currently largest spectroscopic sample of galaxies selected in the rest-frame near-infrared. These allow us to investig…
