Cosmology ThemesCosmology Themes

• Deep galaxy surveys: a statistical & multi-wavelength approach on galaxy evolution (GALEX, VLT/VIMOS, HST, Spitzer)

• Supernovae in the SNLS: constrain on the cosmological parameters

• Gravitational lensing: Dark matter distribution in bounded structures (clusters, groups & galaxies)

• The first galaxies in the Universe: finding and studying the most distant galaxies (Ly-alpha search, lensing search)

• Physics of clusters of galaxies: from low to higher z• IGM properties: using distant quasars and spectra of

Galex sources.

Deep Galaxy SurveysDeep Galaxy Surveys

LAM is involved in many different galaxy surveys aiming at tracing galaxy evolution as a function of time up to z~4

VVDS: The “VIMOS VLT Deep Survey”

A I-band magnitude selected survey

- shallow IAB<22.5 on 10 sq degrees (on 5 fields):

~30 000 redshifts

- deep IAB<24 on 1.2 sq. degree: ~15 000 redshifts

COSMOS Survey FeaturesCOSMOS Survey FeaturesThe Largest Contiguous Area observed with Hubble (cycle 12-13)The Largest Contiguous Area observed with Hubble (cycle 12-13)

Large Area: 1.4 x 1.4 deg => Cover largest large scale structures (~2.1014 Solar Mass)

=> Rare Objects at high redshift (total of ~2.1016 galaxies)

High Sensitivity ( I ~27 mag, 10) and High Resolution (~0.1”) => Morphology of L* galaxies at z < 2

=> Strong and weak lensing (probe of DM)

Equatorial Field: 10h +02=> Multi- observations from all telescopes

Complementary to other Deep Survey(UDF, GOODS, GEMS, CFHTLS,

VVDS, DEEP, SDSS …)
