Cosmology Themes Cosmology 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 Surveys Deep 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 I AB <22.5 on 10 sq degrees (on 5 fields): ~ redshifts - deep I AB <24 on 1.2 sq. degree: ~ redshifts
N(z), I AB 24 =0.76 VVDS redshift desert Peaks at z~0.8 High redshift tail to z~5 VVDS redshift desert: due to Å observations VVDS: Redshift distribution VVDS: Redshift distribution

COSMOS Survey Features The Largest Contiguous Area observed with Hubble (cycle 12-13) Large Area: 1.4 x 1.4 deg => Cover largest large scale structures (~ Solar Mass) => Rare Objects at high redshift (total of ~ 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 …)
