The Carina dSph galaxy: where is the edge?
G. Bono, M. Monelli, A. R. Walker +13
Recent cosmological N-body simulations suggest that current empirical estimates of tidal radii in dSphs might be underestimated by at least one order of magnitude. To constrain the…
Tracing the evolution of massive galaxies up to z \sim 3
M. Longhetti, P. Saracco, S. Cristiani +4
A census of massive galaxies at redshift increasingly higher than 1 may provide strong constraints on the history of mass assembly and of star formation. Here we report on t…
Chandra Deep Field South: The 1Msec Catalog
R. Giacconi, A. Zirm, J. Wang +15
In this Paper we present the source catalog obtained from a 942 ks exposure of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS), using ACIS-I on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Catalog generatio…
Weak lensing mass reconstruction of MS1008.1-1224
M. Lombardi, P. Rosati, M. Nonino +3
We present an in-depth weak lensing analysis of the cluster MS1008 based on deep multicolor imaging obtained during the Science Verification of FORS1 at the VLT. The image quality…
Spectroscopic confirmation of clusters from the ESO imaging survey
M. Ramella, A. Biviano, W. Boschin +8
We measure redshifts for 67 galaxies in the field of six cluster candidates from the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS). The cluster candidates are selected in the EIS patches C and D among…
ESO Imaging Survey: Past Activities and Future Prospects
L. da Costa, S. Arnouts, C. Benoist +9
The ESO Imaging Survey (EIS) is an ongoing project to carry out public imaging surveys to support programs on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT). The first phase of the project sta…
