Abstract: Artículo escrito por un elevado núnmero de autores, sólo se referencian el qque aparece en primer lugar, los autores pertenecientes a la UAM y el nombre del grupo de colaboración, si lo hubiere, We present a new infrared survey covering the three Euclid deep fields and four other Euclid calibration fields using Spitzer Space Telescope's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). We combined these new observations with all relevant IRAC archival data of these fields in order to produce the deepest possible mosaics of these regions. In total, these observations represent nearly 11 % of the total Spitzer Space Telescope mission time. The resulting mosaics cover a total of approximately 71.5 deg2 in the 3.6 and 4.5 μm bands, and approximately 21.8 deg2 in the 5.8 and 8 μm bands. They reach at least 24 AB magnitude (measured to 5σ, in a 2″.5 aperture) in the 3.6 μm band and up to ∼5 mag deeper in the deepest regions. The astrometry is tied to the Gaia astrometric reference system, and the typical astrometric uncertainty for sources with 16 "< "[3.6]< 19 is ≲ 0″.15. The photometric calibration is in excellent agreement with previous WISE measurements. We extracted source number counts from the 3.6 μm band mosaics, and they are in excellent agreement with previous measurements. Given that the Spitzer Space Telescope has now been decommissioned, these mosaics are likely to be the definitive reduction of these IRAC data. This survey therefore represents an essential first step in assembling multi-wavelength data on the Euclid deep fields, which are set to become some of the premier fields for extragalactic astronomy in the 2020s

Abstract: Star formation rate functions (SFRFs) give an instantaneous view of the distribution of star formation rates (SFRs) in galaxies at different epochs. They are a complementary and more stringent test for models than the galaxy stellar mass function, which gives an integrated view of the past star formation activity. However, the exploration of SFRFs has been limited thus far due to difficulties in assessing the SFR from observed quantities and probing the SFRF over a wide range of SFRs. We overcome these limitations thanks to an original method that predicts the infrared luminosity from the rest-frame UV/optical color of a galaxy and then its SFR over a wide range of stellar masses and redshifts. We applied this technique to the deep imaging survey HSC-CLAUDS combined with near-infrared and UV photometry. We provide the first SFR functions with reliable measurements in the high- and low-SFR regimes up to $z=2$ and compare our results with previous observations and four state-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations., Comment: 29 pages, 19 figures

Abstract: The ESA Euclid mission will provide high-quality imaging for about 1.5 billion galaxies. A software pipeline to automatically process and analyse such a huge amount of data in real time is being developed by the Science Ground Segment of the Euclid Consortium; this pipeline will include a model-fitting algorithm, which will provide photometric and morphological estimates of paramount importance for the core science goals of the mission and for legacy science. The Euclid Morphology Challenge is a comparative investigation of the performance of five model-fitting software packages on simulated Euclid data, aimed at providing the baseline to identify the best suited algorithm to be implemented in the pipeline. In this paper we describe the simulated data set, and we discuss the photometry results. A companion paper (Euclid Collaboration: Bretonni\`ere et al. 2022) is focused on the structural and morphological estimates. We created mock Euclid images simulating five fields of view of 0.48 deg2 each in the $I_E$ band of the VIS instrument, each with three realisations of galaxy profiles (single and double S\'ersic, and 'realistic' profiles obtained with a neural network); for one of the fields in the double S\'ersic realisation, we also simulated images for the three near-infrared $Y_E$, $J_E$ and $H_E$ bands of the NISP-P instrument, and five Rubin/LSST optical complementary bands ($u$, $g$, $r$, $i$, and $z$). To analyse the results we created diagnostic plots and defined ad-hoc metrics. Five model-fitting software packages (DeepLeGATo, Galapagos-2, Morfometryka, ProFit, and SourceXtractor++) were compared, all typically providing good results. (cut), Comment: 29 pages, 33 figures.

Abstract: We present a new infrared survey covering the three Euclid deep fields and four other Euclid calibration fields using Spitzer's Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). We have combined these new observations with all relevant IRAC archival data of these fields in order to produce the deepest possible mosaics of these regions. In total, these observations represent nearly 11% of the total Spitzer mission time. The resulting mosaics cover a total of approximately 71.5deg$^2$ in the 3.6 and 4.5um bands, and approximately 21.8deg$^2$ in the 5.8 and 8um bands. They reach at least 24 AB magnitude (measured to sigma, in a 2.5 arcsec aperture) in the 3.6um band and up to ~ 5 mag deeper in the deepest regions. The astrometry is tied to the Gaia astrometric reference system, and the typical astrometric uncertainty for sources with 16, Comment: 15 pages with 11 figures, approved by Euclid Consortium Publication Board and submitted to Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Abstract: International audience; The analysis of weak gravitational lensing in wide-field imaging surveys is considered to be a major cosmological probe of dark energy. Our capacity to constrain the dark energy equation of state relies on an accurate knowledge of the galaxy mean redshift ⟨z⟩. We investigate the possibility of measuring ⟨z⟩ with an accuracy better than 0.002 (1 + z) in ten tomographic bins spanning the redshift interval 0.2 99.8%. The zPDF approach can also be successful if the zPDF is de-biased using a spectroscopic training sample. This approach requires deep imaging data but is weakly sensitive to spectroscopic redshift failures in the training sample. We improve the de-biasing method and confirm our finding by applying it to real-world weak-lensing datasets (COSMOS and KiDS+VIKING-450).

Abstract: Accepted in A&A, 25 pages, 13 figures, 7 tables; Forthcoming large photometric surveys for cosmology require precise and accurate photometric redshift (photo-z) measurements for the success of their main science objectives. However, to date, no method has been able to produce photo-$z$s at the required accuracy using only the broad-band photometry that those surveys will provide. An assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current methods is a crucial step in the eventual development of an approach to meet this challenge. We report on the performance of 13 photometric redshift code single value redshift estimates and redshift probability distributions (PDZs) on a common set of data, focusing particularly on the 0.2--2.6 redshift range that the Euclid mission will probe. We design a challenge using emulated Euclid data drawn from three photometric surveys of the COSMOS field. The data are divided into two samples: one calibration sample for which photometry and redshifts are provided to the participants; and the validation sample, containing only the photometry, to ensure a blinded test of the methods. Participants were invited to provide a redshift single value estimate and a PDZ for each source in the validation sample, along with a rejection flag that indicates sources they consider unfit for use in cosmological analyses. The performance of each method is assessed through a set of informative metrics, using cross-matched spectroscopic and highly-accurate photometric redshifts as the ground truth. We show that the rejection criteria set by participants are efficient in removing strong outliers, sources for which the photo-z deviates by more than 0.15(1+z) from the spectroscopic-redshift (spec-z). We also show that, while all methods are able to provide reliable single value estimates, several machine-learning methods do not manage to produce useful PDZs. [abridged]

Abstract: International audience; We examine the behaviour of the infrared‐radio correlation (IRRC) over the range 0 < z less than or similar to 6 using new, highly sensitive 3 GHz observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and infrared data from the Herschel Space Observatory in the 2 deg(2) COSMOS field. We distinguish between objects where emission is believed to arise solely from star‐formation, and those where an active galactic nucleus (AGN) is thought to be present. We account for non‐detections in the radio or in the infrared using a doublycensored survival analysis. We find that the IRRC of star‐forming galaxies, quantified by the infrared‐to‐1.4 GHz radio luminosity ratio (qTIR), decreases with increasing redshift: q(TIR)(z) = (2.88 +/‐ 0.03)(1 + z)(‐0.19 +/‐ 0.01). This is consistent with several previous results from the literature. Moderate‐to‐high radiative luminosity AGN do not follow the same q(TIR)(z) trend as star‐forming galaxies, having a lower normalisation and steeper decrease with redshift. We cannot rule out the possibility that unidentified AGN contributions only to the radio regime may be steepening the observed q(TIR)(z) trend of the star‐forming galaxy population. We demonstrate that the choice of the average radio spectral index directly affects the normalisation, as well as the derived trend with redshift of the IRRC. An increasing fractional contribution to the observed 3 GHz flux by free‐free emission of star‐forming galaxies may also affect the derived evolution. However, we find that the standard (M82‐based) assumption of the typical radio spectral energy distribution (SED) for star‐forming galaxies is inconsistent with our results. This suggests a more complex shape of the typical radio SED for star‐forming galaxies, and that imperfect K corrections in the radio may govern the derived trend of decreasing q(TIR) with increasing redshift. A more detailed understanding of the radio spectrum is therefore required for robust K corrections in the radio and to fully understand the cosmic evolution of the IRRC. Lastly, we present a redshift‐dependent relation between rest‐frame 1.4 GHz radio luminosity and star formation rate taking the derived redshift trend into account.

Abstract: International audience; We explore the multiwavelength properties of AGN host galaxies for different classes of radio‐selected AGN out to z less than or similar to 6 via a multiwavelength analysis of about 7700 radio sources in the COSMOS field. The sources were selected with the Very Large Array (VLA) at 3 GHz (10 cm) within the VLA‐COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project, and cross‐matched with multiwavelength ancillary data. This is the largest sample of high‐redshift (z less than or similar to 6) radio sources with exquisite photometric coverage and redshift measurements available. We constructed a sample of moderate‐to‐high radiative luminosity AGN (HLAGN) via spectral energy distribution decomposition combined with standard X‐ray and mid‐infrared diagnostics. Within the remainder of the sample we further identified low‐to‐moderate radiative luminosity AGN (MLAGN) via excess in radio emission relative to the star formation rates in their host galaxies. We show that at each redshift our HLAGN have systematically higher radiative luminosities than MLAGN and that their AGN power occurs predominantly in radiative form, while MLAGN display a substantial mechanical AGN luminosity component. We found significant differences in the host properties of the two AGN classes, as a function of redshift. At z < 1 : 5, MLAGN appear to reside in significantly more massive and less star‐forming galaxies compared to HLAGN. At z > 1., we observed a reversal in the behaviour of the stellar mass distributions with the HLAGN populating the higher stellar mass tail. We interpret this finding as a possible hint of the downsizing of galaxies hosting HLAGN, with the most massive galaxies triggering AGN activity earlier than less massive galaxies, and then fading to MLAGN at lower redshifts. Our conclusion is that HLAGN and MLAGN samples trace two distinct galaxy and AGN populations in a wide range of redshifts, possibly resembling the radio AGN types often referred to as radiative‐and jet‐mode (or high‐and low‐excitation), respectively, whose properties might depend on the different availability of cold gas supplies.

Abstract: International audience; We make use of the deep Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) COSMOS radio observations at 3 GHz to infer radio luminosity functions of star‐forming galaxies up to redshifts of z similar to 5 based on approximately 6000 detections with reliable optical counterparts. This is currently the largest radio‐selected sample available out to z similar to 5 across an area of 2 square degrees with a sensitivity of rms approximate to 2.3 mu Jy beam(‐1). By fixing the faint and bright end shape of the radio luminosity function to the local values, we find a strong redshift trend that can be fitted with a pure luminosity evolution L‐1.4 (GHz) proportional to /(1 + z)((3.16 +/‐ 0.2)‐(0.32 +/‐ 0.07)z). We estimate star formation rates (SFRs) from our radio luminosities using an infrared (IR)‐radio correlation that is redshift dependent. By integrating the parametric fits of the evolved luminosity function we calculate the cosmic SFR density (SFRD) history since z similar to 5. Our data suggest that the SFRD history peaks between 2 < z < 3 and that the ultraluminous infrared galaxies (100 M‐circle dot yr(‐1) < SFR < 1000 M‐circle dot yr(‐1)) contribute up to similar to 25% to the total SFRD in the same redshift range. Hyperluminous infrared galaxies (SFR > 1000 M fi yr 1) contribute an additional less than or similar to 2% in the entire observed redshift range. We find evidence of a potential underestimation of SFRD based on ultraviolet (UV) rest‐frame observations of Lyman break galaxies at high redshifts (z greater than or similar to 4) on the order of 15‐20%, owing to appreciable star formation in highly dust‐obscured galaxies, which might remain undetected in such UV observations.

Abstract: International audience; Aims. We present a study of a large filamentary structure at z similar to 0.73 in the field of the COSMOS survey, the so-called COSMOS Wall. This structure encompasses a comprehensive range of environments from a dense cluster and a number of galaxy groups to filaments, less dense regions, and adjacent voids. It thus provides a valuable laboratory for the accurate mapping of environmental effects on galaxy evolution at a look-back time of similar to 6.5 Gyr, when the Universe was roughly half its present age. Methods. We performed deep spectroscopic observations with VIMOS at VLT of a K-band selected sample of galaxies in this complex structure, building a sample of galaxies complete in galaxy stellar mass down to a lower limit of log(M-*/M-circle dot)similar to 9.8, which is significantly deeper than previously available data. Thanks to its location within the COSMOS survey, each galaxy benefits from a wealth of ancillary information: HST-ACS data with I-band exposures down to I-AB similar to 28 complemented by extensive multiwavelength ground-and space-based observations spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum. Results. In this paper we detail the survey strategy and weighting scheme adopted to account for the biases introduced by the photometric preselection of our targets. We present our galaxy stellar mass and rest-frame magnitudes estimates together with a group catalog obtained with our new data and their member galaxies color / mass distribution. Conclusions. Owing to our new sample we can perform a detailed, high definition mapping of the complex COSMOS Wall structure. The sharp environmental information, coupled with high quality spectroscopic information and rich ancillary data available in the COSMOS field, enables a detailed study of galaxy properties as a function of local environment in a redshift slice where environmental effects are important, and in a stellar mass range where mass and environment driven effects are both at work.

Abstract: International audience; We measure the H alpha and [O III] emission line properties as well as specific star formation rates (sSFRs) of spectroscopically confirmed 3 \textless z \textless 6 galaxies in COSMOS from their observed colors versus redshift evolution. Our model describes consistently the ensemble of galaxies including intrinsic properties (age, metallicity, star formation history), dust attenuation, and optical emission lines. We forward-model the measured Ha. equivalent widths (EW) to obtain the sSFR out to z similar to 6 without stellar mass fitting. We find a strongly increasing rest-frame Ha. EW that is flattening off above z similar to 2.5 with average EWs of 300-600 angstrom at z similar to 6. The sSFR is increasing proportionally to (1 + z)(2.4) at z \textless 2.2 and to (1 + z)(1.5) at higher redshifts, indicative of a fast build-up of mass in high-z galaxies within e-folding times of 100-200 Myr at z similar to 6. The redshift evolution at z \textgreater 3 cannot be fully explained in a picture of growth driven by cold accretion. We find a progressively increasing [O III]lambda 5007/H beta ratio out to z similar to 6, consistent with the ratios in local galaxies selected by increasing H alpha EW (i.e., sSFR). This demonstrates the potential of using “local high-z analogs” to investigate the spectroscopic properties and relations of galaxies in the re-ionization epoch.

Abstract: International audience; We study the evolution of the star formation rate (SFR) - stellar mass (M-star) relation and specific star formation rate (sSFR) of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) since a redshift z similar or equal to 5.5 using 2435 (4531) galaxies with highly reliable spectroscopic redshifts in the VIMOS Ultra-Deep Survey (VUDS). It is the first time that these relations can be followed over such a large redshift range from a single homogeneously selected sample of galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts. The log(SFR) - log(M-star) relation for SFGs remains roughly linear all the way up to z = 5, but the SFR steadily increases at fixed mass with increasing redshift. We find that for stellar masses M-star \textgreater= 3.2 x 10(9) M-circle dot the SFR increases by a factor of similar to 13 between z = 0.4 and z = 2.3. We extend this relation up to z = 5, finding an additional increase in SFR by a factor of 1.7 from z = 2.3 to z = 4.8 for masses M-star = 1010 M-circle dot. We observe a turn-off in the SFR-M-star relation at the highest mass end up to a redshift z similar to 3.5. We interpret this turn-off as the signature of a strong on-going quenching mechanism and rapid mass growth. The sSFR increases strongly up to z similar to 2, but it grows much less rapidly in 2 \textless z \textless 5. We find that the shape of the sSFR evolution is not well reproduced by cold gas accretion-driven models or the latest hydrodynamical models. Below z similar to 2 these models have a flatter evolution (1+z)(Phi) with Phi = 2-2.25 compared to the data which evolves more rapidly with Phi = 2.8 +/- 0.2. Above z similar to 2, the reverse is happening with the data evolving more slowly with Phi = 1.2 +/- 0.1. The observed sSFR evolution over a large redshift range 0 \textless z \textless 5 and our finding of a non-linear main sequence at high mass both indicate that the evolution of SFR and M-star is not solely driven by gas accretion. The results presented in this paper emphasize the need to invoke a more complex mix of physical processes including major and minor merging to further understand the co-evolution of the SFR and stellar mass growth.

Abstract: International audience; We used the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) to map a sample of 15 submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS field at the wavelength of 1.3 mm. The target SMGs were originally discovered in the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT)/AzTEC 1.1 mmcontinuum survey at S/N-1.1mm = 4-4.5. This paper presents, for the first time, interferometric millimetre-wavelength observations of these sources. The angular resolution of our observations, similar to 1 `'.8, allowed us to accurately determine the positions of the target SMGs. Using a detection threshold of S/N-1.3mm \textgreater 4.5 regardless of multiwavelength counterpart association, and 4 \textless S/N-1.3 mm \textless= 4.5 if a multiwavelength counterpart within 1 `'.5 is also present, the total number of detections in our survey is 22. The most significant PdBI detection of S/N-1.3 (mm) = 10.3 is towards AzTEC19. Three of our detected SMGs (AzTEC21, 27, and 28; which corresponds to 20%) are marginally resolved at our angular resolution, and these sources are found to have elongated or clumpy morphologies and/or multiple components. Using optical to near-infrared photometric redshifts, available spectroscopic redshifts, and redshifts estimated from the radio-to-submm spectral index we infer a median redshift of \textless(z)over tilde\textgreater = 3.20 +/- 0.25 for our sample. To study the overall multiplicity and redshift distribution of flux-limited samples of SMGs we combined these sources with the 15 brightest JCMT/AzTEC SMGs detected at 1.1 mm, AzTEC1-15, and studied previously. This constitutes a complete, flux-and S/N-limited 1.1-mm selected sample. We find that the median redshift for the 15 brightest JCMT/AzTEC SMGs ((z) over tilde = 3.05 +/- 0.44) is consistent with that for AzTEC16-30. This conforms to recent observational findings that SMGs do not exhibit any significant trend between the redshift and (sub) mm flux density. For the combined AzTEC1-30 sample we derive a median redshift of (z) over tilde = 3.17 +/- 0.27, consistent with previous results based on mm-selected samples. We further infer that within the combined AzTEC1-30 sample similar to 25 +/- 9% of sources separate into multiple components.

Abstract: International audience; We use percent-level precision photometric redshifts in the UltraVISTA-DR1 near-infrared survey to investigate the changing relationship between galaxy stellar mass and the dark matter haloes hosting them to z similar to 2. We achieve this by measuring the clustering properties and abundances of a series of volume-limited galaxy samples selected by stellar mass and star formation activity. We interpret these results in the framework of a phenomenological halo model and numerical simulations. Our measurements span a uniquely large range in stellar mass and redshift and reach below the characteristic stellar mass to z similar to 2. Our results are: (1) at fixed redshift and scale, clustering amplitude depends monotonically on sample stellar mass threshold; (2) at fixed angular scale, the projected clustering amplitude decreases with redshift but the comoving correlation length remains constant; (3) characteristic halo masses and galaxy bias increase with increasing median stellar mass of the sample; (4) the slope of these relationships is modified in lower mass haloes; (5) concerning the passive galaxy population, characteristic halo masses are consistent with a simply less-abundant version of the full galaxy sample, but at lower redshifts the fraction of satellite galaxies in the passive population is very different from the full galaxy sample; (6) finally, we find that the ratio between the characteristic halo mass and median stellar mass at each redshift bin reaches a peak at log (Mh/M-circle dot) similar to 12.2 and the position of this peak remains constant out to z similar to 2. The behaviour of the full and passively evolving galaxy samples can be understood qualitatively by considering the slow evolution of the characteristic stellar mass in the redshift range probed by our survey.

Abstract: International audience; The relation between the galaxy stellar mass M-star and the dark matter halo mass M-h gives important information on the efficiency in forming stars and assembling stellar mass in galaxies. We present measurements of the ratio of stellar mass to halo mass (SMHR) at redshifts 2 \textless z \textless 5, obtained from the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey. We use halo occupation distribution (HOD) modelling of clustering measurements on similar to 3000 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts to derive the dark matter halo mass M-h, and spectral energy density fitting over a large set of multi-wavelength data to derive the stellar mass M-star and compute the SMHR = M-star/M-h. We find that the SMHR ranges from 1% to 2.5% for galaxies with M-star = 1.3 x 10(9) M-star to M-star = 7.4 x 10(9) M-circle dot in DM halos with M-h = 1.3 x 10(11) M-circle dot to M-h = 3 x 10(11) M-circle dot. We derive the integrated star formation efficiency (ISFE) of these galaxies and find that the star formation efficiency is a moderate 6-9% for lower mass galaxies, while it is relatively high at 16% for galaxies with the median stellar mass of the sample similar to 7 x 10(9) M-circle dot. The lower ISFE at lower masses may indicate that some efficient means of suppressing star formation is at work (like SNe feedback), while the high ISFE for the average galaxy at z similar to 3 indicates that these galaxies efficiently build up their stellar mass at a key epoch in the mass assembly process. Based on our results, we propose a possible scenario in which the average massive galaxy at z similar to 3 begins to experience truncation of its star formation within a few million years.

Abstract: International audience; We investigate the physical properties of a sample of six submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the COSMOS field, spectroscopically confirmed to lie at redshifts z \textgreater 4. While the redshifts for four of these SMGs were previously known, we present here two newly discovered z(spec) \textgreater 4 SMGs. For our analysis we employ the rich (X-ray to radio) COSMOS multi-wavelength datasets. In particular, we use new data from the Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) 325 MHz and 3 GHz Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) to probe the rest-frame 1.4 GHz emission at z = 4, and to estimate the sizes of the star formation regions of these sources, respectively. We find that only one SMG is clearly resolved at a resolution of 0.” 6 x 0.” 7 at 3 GHz, two may be marginally resolved, while the remaining three SMGs are unresolved at this resolution. Combining this with sizes from high-resolution (sub-) mm observations available in the literature for AzTEC 1 and AzTEC 3 we infer a median radio-emitting size for our z \textgreater 4 SMGs of (0.” 63 +/- 0.” 12) x (0.” 35 +/- 0.” 05) or 4.1 x 2.3 kpc(2) (major x minor axis; assuming z = 4.5) or lower if we take the two marginally resolved SMGs as unresolved. This is consistent with the sizes of star formation regions in lower-redshift SMGs, and local normal galaxies, yet higher than the sizes of star formation regions of local ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs). Our SMG sample consists of a fair mix of compact and more clumpy systems with multiple, perhaps merging, components. With an average formation time of similar to 280 Myr, as derived through modeling of the UV IR spectral energy distributions, the studied SMGs are young systems. The average stellar mass, dust temperature, and IR luminosity we derive are M-star similar to 1.4 x 10(11) M-circle dot, T-dust similar to 43 K, and L-IR similar to 1.3 x 10(13) L-circle dot, respectively. The average L-IR is up to an order of magnitude higher than for SMGs at lower redshifts. Our SMGs follow the correlation between dust temperature and IR luminosity as derived for Herschel-selected 0.1 \textless z \textless 2 galaxies. We study the IR-radio correlation for our sources and find a deviation from that derived for z \textless 3 ULIRGs (\textless q(IR)\textgreater = 1.95 +/- 0.26 for our sample, compared to q approximate to 2.6 for IR luminous galaxies at z \textless 2). In summary, we find that the physical properties derived for our z \textgreater 4 SMGs put them at the high end of the L-IR-T-dust distribution of SMGs, and that our SMGs form a morphologically heterogeneous sample. Thus, additional in-depth analyses of large, statistical samples of high-redshift SMGs are needed to fully understand their role in galaxy formation and evolution.

Abstract: International audience; The role of major mergers in galaxy and black hole formation is not well-constrained. To help address this, we develop an automated method to identify late-stage galaxy mergers before coalescence of the galactic cores. The resulting sample of mergers is distinct from those obtained using pair-finding and morphological indicators. Our method relies on median-filtering of high-resolution images to distinguish two concentrated galaxy nuclei at small separations. This method does not rely on low surface brightness features to identify mergers, and is therefore reliable to high redshift. Using mock images, we derive statistical contamination and incompleteness corrections for the fraction of late-stage mergers. The mock images show that our method returns an uncontaminated (\textless10%) sample of mergers with projected separations between 2.2 and 8 kpc out to z similar to 1. We apply our new method to a magnitude-limited (m(FW 814) \textless 23) sample of 44,164 galaxies from the COSMOS HST/ACS catalog. Using a mass-complete sample with log M-*/M-circle dot \textgreater 10.6 and 0.25 \textless z \textless= 1.00, we find similar to 5% of systems are late-stage mergers. Correcting for incompleteness and contamination, the fractional merger rate increases strongly with redshift as R-merge proportional to (1 + z)(3.8 +/- 0.9), in agreement both with earlier studies and with dark matter halo merger rates. Separating the sample into star-forming and quiescent galaxies shows that the merger rate for star-forming galaxies increases strongly with redshift, (1 + z)(4.5 +/- 1.3), while the merger rate for quiescent galaxies is consistent with no evolution, (1 + z)(1.1 +/- 1.2). The merger rate also becomes steeper with decreasing stellar mass. Limiting our sample to galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from zCOSMOS, we find that the star formation rates and X-ray selected active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity in likely late-stage mergers are higher by factors of similar to 2 relative to those of a control sample. Combining our sample with more widely separated pairs, we find that 8 +/- 5% of star formation and 20 +/- 8% of AGN activity are triggered by close encounters (\textless143 kpc) or mergers, providing additional evidence that major mergers are not the only channels for star formation and black hole growth.

Abstract: International audience; We present the results of new near-IR spectroscopic observations of passive galaxies at z greater than or similar to 1.4 in a concentration of BzK-selected galaxies in the COSMOS field. The observations have been conducted with Subaru/MOIRCS, and have resulted in absorption lines and/or continuum detection for 18 out of 34 objects. This allows us to measure spectroscopic redshifts for a sample that is almost complete to K-AB = 21. COSMOS photometric redshifts are found in fair agreement overall with the spectroscopic redshifts, with a standard deviation of similar to 0.05; however, similar to 30% of objects have photometric redshifts systematically underestimated by up to similar to 25%. We show that these systematic offsets in photometric redshifts can be removed by using these objects as a training set. All galaxies fall in four distinct redshift spikes at z = 1.43, 1.53, 1.67, and 1.82, with this latter one including seven galaxies. SED fits to broadband fluxes indicate stellar masses in the range of similar to 4-40 x 10(10) M-circle dot and that star formation was quenched similar to 1 Gyr before the cosmoic epoch at which they are observed. the spectra of several individual galaxies have allowed us to measure their H delta(F) indices and the strengths of the 4000 angstrom break, which confirms their identification as passive galaxies, as does a composite spectrum resulting from the co-addition of 17 individual spectra. The effective radii of the galaxies have been measured on the COSMOS HST/ACS i(F814W)-band image, confirming the coexistence at these redshifts of passive galaxies, which are substantially more compact than their local counterparts with others that follow the local effective radius-stellar mass relation. For the galaxy with the best signal-to-noise spectrum we were able to measure a velocity dispersion of 270 +/- 105 km s(-1) (error bar including systematic errors), indicating that this galaxy lies closely on the virial relation given its stellar mass and effective radius.

Abstract: We model the evolution of the mean galaxy occupation of dark matter haloes over the range 0.1 < z < 1.3, using the data from the VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey. The galaxy projected correlation function wp(rp) was computed for a set of luminosity-limited subsamples and fits to its shape were obtained using two variants of halo occupation distribution (HOD) models. These provide us with a set of best-fitting parameters, from which we obtain the average mass of a halo and average number of galaxies per halo. We find that after accounting for the evolution in luminosity and assuming that we are largely following the same population, the underlying dark matter halo shows a growth in mass with decreasing redshift as expected in a hierarchical structure formation scenario. Using two different HOD models, we see that the halo mass grows by 90 per cent over the redshift interval z = [0.5, 1.0]. This is the first time the evolution in halo mass at high redshifts has been obtained from a single data survey and it follows the simple form seen in N-body simulations with M(z) = M0 e-βz, and β = 1.3 +/- 0.30. This provides evidence for a rapid accretion phase of massive haloes having a present-day mass M0 ~ 1013.5 h-1 Msolar, with a m > 0.1 M0 merger event occurring between redshifts of 0.5 and 1.0. Furthermore, we find that more luminous galaxies are found to occupy more massive haloes irrespective of the redshift. Finally, the average number of galaxies per halo shows little increase from redshift z ~ 1.0 to ~0.5, with a sharp increase by a factor of ~3 from z ~ 0.5 to ~0.1, likely due to the dynamical friction of subhaloes within their host haloes. Based on data obtained with the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope, Paranal, Chile, program 070.A-9007(A), and on data obtained at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, operated by the CNRS of France, CNRC in Canada and the University of Hawaii.

Abstract: We describe the completed VIMOS VLT Deep Survey, and the final data release of 35016 galaxies and type-I AGN with measured spectroscopic redshifts up to redshift z~6.7, in areas 0.142 to 8.7 square degrees, and volumes from 0.5x10^6 to 2x10^7h^-3Mpc^3. We have selected samples of galaxies based solely on their i-band magnitude reaching i_{AB}=24.75. Spectra have been obtained with VIMOS on the ESO-VLT, integrating 0.75h, 4.5h and 18h for the Wide, Deep, and Ultra-Deep nested surveys. A total of 1263 galaxies have been re-observed independently within the VVDS, and from the VIPERS and MASSIV surveys. They are used to establish the redshift measurements reliability, to assess completeness, and to provide a weighting scheme taking into account the survey selection function. We describe the main properties of the VVDS samples, and the VVDS is compared to other spectroscopic surveys. In total we have obtained spectroscopic redshifts for 34594 galaxies, 422 type-I AGN, and 12430 Galactic stars. The survey has enabled to identify galaxies up to very high redshifts with 4669 redshifts in 13, and specific populations like LAE have been identified out to z=6.62. We show that the VVDS occupies a unique place in the parameter space defined by area, depth, redshift coverage, and number of spectra. The VVDS provides a comprehensive survey of the distant universe, covering all epochs since z, or more than 12 Gyr of cosmic time, with a uniform selection, the largest such sample to date. A wealth of science results derived from the VVDS have shed new light on the evolution of galaxies and AGN, and their distribution in space, over this large cosmic time. A final public release of the complete VVDS spectroscopic redshift sample is available at http://cesam.lam.fr/vvds., Comment: Submitted 30 June 2013, Accepted 22 August 2013.

Abstract: International audience; Context. Constraints on the mass distribution in high-redshift clusters of galaxies are currently not very strong. Aims. We aim to constrain the mass profile, M(r), and dynamical status of the z similar to 0.8 LCDCS 0504 cluster of galaxies that is characterized by prominent giant gravitational arcs near its center. Methods. Our analysis is based on deep X-ray, optical, and infrared imaging as well as optical spectroscopy, collected with various instruments, which we complemented with archival data. We modeled the mass distribution of the cluster with three different mass density profiles, whose parameters were constrained by the strong lensing features of the inner cluster region, by the X-ray emission from the intracluster medium, and by the kinematics of 71 cluster members. Results. We obtain consistent M(r) determinations from three methods based on kinematics (dispersion-kurtosis, caustics, and MAMPOSSt), out to the cluster virial radius, similar or equal to 1.3 Mpc and beyond. The mass profile inferred by the strong lensing analysis in the central cluster region is slightly higher than, but still consistent with, the kinematics estimate. On the other hand, the X-ray based M(r) is significantly lower than the kinematics and strong lensing estimates. Theoretical predictions from Lambda CDM cosmology for the concentration-mass relation agree with our observational results, when taking into account the uncertainties in the observational and theoretical estimates. There appears to be a central deficit in the intracluster gas mass fraction compared with nearby clusters. Conclusions. Despite the relaxed appearance of this cluster, the determinations of its mass profile by different probes show substantial discrepancies, the origin of which remains to be determined. The extension of a dynamical analysis similar to that of other clusters of the DAFT/FADA survey with multiwavelength data of sufficient quality will allow shedding light on the possible systematics that affect the determination of mass profiles of high-z clusters, which is possibly related to our incomplete understanding of intracluster baryon physics.

Abstract: International audience; Context. The mass assembly of galaxies can proceed through different physical processes. Here we report on the spectroscopic identification of close physical pairs of galaxies at redshifts 2 less than or similar to z \textless 4 and discuss the impact of major mergers in building galaxies at these early cosmological times. Aims. We aim to identify and characterize close physical pairs of galaxies destined to merge and use their properties to infer the contribution of merging processes to the early mass assembly of galaxies. Methods. We searched for galaxy pairs with a transverse separation r(p) \textless= 25 h(-1) kpc and a velocity difference Delta(v) \textless= 500 km s(-1) using early data from the VIMOS Ultra Deep Survey (VUDS) that comprise a sample of 1111 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts measurements at redshifts 1.8 \textless= z \textless= 4 in the COSMOS. ECDFS, and VVDS-02h fields, combined with VVDS data. We analysed their spectra and associated visible and near-infrared photometry to assess the main properties of merging galaxies that have an average stellar mass M-* = 2.3 x 10(10) M-circle dot at these redshifts. Results. Using the 12 physical pairs found in our sample we obtain a first robust measurement of the major merger fraction at these redshifts, f(MM)= 19.4(-6)(+9)%. These pairs are expected to merge within 1 Gyr on average each producing a more massive galaxy by the time the cosmic star formation peaks at z similar to 1-2. Using the pairs' merging time scales, we derive a merging rate of R-MM = 0.17(-0.05)(+0.08) Gyr(-1). From the average mass ratio between galaxies in the pairs, the stellar mass of the resulting galaxy after merging will be similar to 60% higher than the most massive galaxy in the pair before merging. We conclude that major merging of galaxy pairs is on-going at 2 less than or similar to z \textless 4 and is significantly contributing to the major mass assembly phase of galaxies at this early epoch.

Abstract: International audience; Using the Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys data in the COSMOS field, we systematically searched clumpy galaxies at 0.2 \textless z \textless 1.0 and investigated the fraction of clumpy galaxies and its evolution as a function of stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and specific SFR (SSFR). The fraction of clumpy galaxies in star-forming galaxies with M-star \textgreater 10(9.5) M circle dot decreases with time from similar to 0.35 at 0.8 \textless z \textless 1.0 to similar to 0.05 at 0.2 \textless z \textless 0.4, irrespective of the stellar mass, although the fraction tends to be slightly lower for massive galaxies with M-star \textgreater 10(10.5) M circle dot at each redshift. On the other hand, the fraction of clumpy galaxies increases with increasing both SFR and SSFR in all the redshift ranges we investigated. In particular, we found that the SSFR dependences of the fractions are similar among galaxies with different stellar masses, and the fraction at a given SSFR does not depend on the stellar mass in each redshift bin. The evolution of the fraction of clumpy galaxies from z similar to 0.9 to z similar to 0.3 seems to be explained by such SSFR dependence of the fraction and the evolution of SSFRs of star-forming galaxies. The fraction at a given SSFR also appears to decrease with time, but this can be due to the effect of the morphological k correction. We suggest that these results are understood by the gravitational fragmentation model for the formation of giant clumps in disk galaxies, where the gas mass fraction is a crucial parameter.

Abstract: International audience; We studied the chronology of galactic bulge and disc formation by analysing the relative contributions of these components to the B-band rest-frame luminosity density at different epochs. We present the first estimate of the evolution of the fraction of rest-frame B-band light in galactic bulges and discs since redshift z similar to 0.8. We performed a bulge-to-disc decomposition of HST/ACS images of 3266 galaxies in the zCOSMOS-bright survey with spectroscopic redshifts in the range 0.7 \textless= z \textless= 0.9. We find that the fraction of B-band light in bulges and discs is (26 4)% and (74 4)%, respectively. When compared with rest-frame B-band measurements of galaxies in the local Universe in the same mass range (10(9)M circle dot M10(11.5).M circle dot),we find that the B-band light in discs decreases by -30% from z similar to 0.7-0.9 to z 0, while the light from the bulge increases by -30% over the same period of time. We interpret this evolution as the consequence of star formation and mass assembly processes, as well as morphological transformation, which gradually shift stars formed at half the age of the Universe from star-forming late-type/irregular galaxies to earlier types and ultimately into spheroids.

Abstract: International audience; We study the link between observed ultraviolet (UV) luminosity, stellar mass and dust attenuation within rest-frame UV-selected samples at z similar to 4, similar to 3 and similar to 1.5. We measure by stacking at 250, 350 and 500 mu m in the Herschel/Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver images from the Herschel Multi-Tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) program the average infrared luminosity as a function of stellar mass and UV luminosity. We find that dust attenuation is mostly correlated with stellar mass. There is also a secondary dependence with UV luminosity: at a given UV luminosity, dust attenuation increases with stellar mass, while at a given stellar mass it decreases with UV luminosity. We provide new empirical recipes to correct for dust attenuation given the observed UV luminosity and the stellar mass. Our results also enable us to put new constraints on the average relation between star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass at z similar to 4, similar to 3 and similar to 1.5. The SFR-stellar mass relations are well described by power laws (SFR proportional to M-*(0.7)), with the amplitudes being similar at z similar to 4 and similar to 3, and decreasing by a factor of 4 at z similar to 1.5 at a given stellar mass. We further investigate the evolution with redshift of the specific SFR. Our results are in the upper range of previous measurements, in particular at z similar to 3, and are consistent with a plateau at 3 \textless z \textless 4. Current model predictions (either analytic, semi-analytic or hydrodynamic) are inconsistent with these values, as they yield lower predictions than the observations in the redshift range we explore. We use these results to discuss the star formation histories of galaxies in the framework of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies. Our results suggest that galaxies at high redshift (2.5 \textless z \textless 4) stay around 1 Gyr on the main sequence. With decreasing redshift, this time increases such that z = 1 main-sequence galaxies with 10(8) \textless M-*/M-circle dot \textless 10(10) stay on the main sequence until z = 0.

Abstract: To appear in The Fabulous Destiny of Galaxies: Bridging Past and Present, conference held in Marseille, June 2005; The First Epoch VIMOS VLT Deep Survey is now completed. More than 11000 redshifts of galaxies with 17.5 &leq; IAB &leq; 24 have been measured with the VIMOS spectrograph build for ESO by our consortium of French and Italian Institutes. The magnitude selection of this survey is unique and allows an unprecedented census of the high redshift universe to trace the evolution of galaxies and AGNs from 12 billion years ago to the present. We present here the main results from this first epoch survey. A first public data release offers access to the deep imaging and to 1599 galaxies with redshifts in the Chandra Deep Field South. The VVDS continues beyond the first epoch, a total of more than 45000 spectra have been obtained and processing is on-going.

Abstract: International audience; We present measurements of higher order clustering of galaxies in the latest release of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS)-Wide. We construct a series of volume-limited sample of galaxies containing more than one million galaxies over the redshift range 0.2 \textless z \textless 1 in the four independent fields of the CFHTLS-Wide. Using a counts-in-cells technique we measure the variance (xi) over bar (2) and the hierarchical moments S-n = (xi) over bar (n)/(xi) over bar (n-1)(2) (3 \textless= n \textless= 5) as a function of redshift and angular scale. We find that the measured field-to-field scatter in our estimators is in excellent agreement with analytical predictions. At small scales, corresponding to the highly non-linear regime, we find tentative evidence at the 1 sigma level that the hierarchical moments increase with redshift. At large scales, corresponding to the weakly non-linear regime, our measurements are marginally consistent with perturbation theory predictions for standard Lambda cold dark matter cosmology using a simple linear bias. The predictions of perturbation theory tend to slightly overestimate our measurements, which may be a signature of non-linear bias.

Abstract: International audience; We exploit the deep and extended far-IR data sets (at 70, 100 and 160 mu m) of the Herschel Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) Survey, in combination with the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey data at 250, 350 and 500 mu m, to derive the evolution of the rest-frame 35-, 60-, 90-and total infrared (IR) luminosity functions (LFs) up to z similar to 4. We detect very strong luminosity evolution for the total IR LF (L-IR alpha (1 + z)(3.55 +/- 0.10) up to z similar to 2, and. (1 + z) 1.62 similar to 0.51 at 2 \textless z less than or similar to 4) combined with a density evolution ( (1 + z)-0.57 +/- 0.22 up to z similar to 1 and. (1 + z)-3.92 +/- 0.34 at 1 \textless z less than or similar to 4). In agreement with previous findings, the IR luminosity density (.IR) increases steeply to z similar to 1, then flattens between z similar to 1 and z similar to 3 to decrease at z similar to 3. Galaxies with different spectral energy distributions, masses and specific star formation rates (SFRs) evolve in very different ways and this large and deep statistical sample is the first one allowing us to separately study the different evolutionary behaviours of the individual IR populations contributing to.IR. Galaxies occupying the well-established SFR-stellar mass main sequence (MS) are found to dominate both the total IR LF and.IR at all redshifts, with the contribution from off-MS sources (= 0.6 dex above MS) being nearly constant (similar to 20 per cent of the total IR) and showing no significant signs of increase with increasing z over the whole 0.8 \textless z \textless 2.2 range. Sources with mass in the range 10 = log(M/M-circle dot) = 11 are found to dominate the total IR LF, with more massive galaxies prevailing at the bright end of the high-z (greater than or similar to 2) LF. A two-fold evolutionary scheme for IR galaxies is envisaged: on the one hand, a starburst-dominated phase in which the Super Massive Black Holes (SMBH) grows and is obscured by dust (possibly triggered by a major merging event), is followed by an AGN-dominated phase, then evolving towards a local elliptical. On the other hand, moderately star-forming galaxies containing a low-luminosity AGN have various properties suggesting they are good candidates for systems in a transition phase preceding the formation of steady spiral galaxies.

Abstract: International audience; We have constructed an extended halo model (EHM) which relates the total stellar mass and star-formation rate (SFR) to halo mass (M-h). An empirical relation between the distribution functions of total stellar mass of galaxies and host halo mass, tuned to match the spatial density of galaxies over 0 \textless z \textless 2 and the clustering properties at z similar to 0, is extended to include two different scenarios describing the variation of SFR on Mh. We also present new measurements of the redshift evolution of the average SFR for star-forming galaxies of different stellar masses up to z = 2, using data from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey for infrared bright galaxies. Combining the EHM with the halo accretion histories from numerical simulations, we trace the stellar mass growth and star-formation history in haloes spanning a range of masses. We find that: (1) the intensity of the star-forming activity in haloes in the probed mass range has steadily decreased from z similar to 2 to 0; (2) at a given epoch, haloes in the mass range between a few times 10(11) M-circle dot and a few times 10(12) M-circle dot are the most efficient at hosting star formation; (3) the peak of SFR density shifts to lower mass haloes over time; and (4) galaxies that are forming stars most actively at z similar to 2 evolve into quiescent galaxies in today's group environments, strongly supporting previous claims that the most powerful starbursts at z similar to 2 are progenitors of today's elliptical galaxies.

Abstract: International audience; In order to understand environmental effects on star formation in high-redshift galaxies, we investigate the physical relationships between the star formation activity, stellar mass, and environment for z similar or equal to 1.2 galaxies in the 2 deg(2) COSMOS field. We estimate star formation using the [O II]lambda 3727 emission line and environment from the local galaxy density. Our analysis shows that for massive galaxies (M-* greater than or similar to 10(10) M-circle dot), the fraction of [O II] emitters in high-density environments (Sigma(10th) greater than or similar to 3.9 Mpc(-2)) is 1.7 +/- 0.4 times higher than in low-density environments (Sigma(10th) less than or similar to 1.5 Mpc(-2)), while the [O II] emitter fraction does not depend on environment for low-mass M-* less than or similar to 10(10) M-circle dot galaxies. In order to understand what drives these trends, we investigate the role of companion galaxies in our sample. We find that the fraction of [O II] emitters in galaxies with companions is 2.4 +/- 0.5 times as high as that in galaxies without companions at M-* greater than or similar to 10(10) M-circle dot. In addition, massive galaxies are more likely to have companions in high-density environments. However, although the number of star-forming galaxies increases for massive galaxies with close companions and in dense environments, the average star formation rate of star-forming galaxies at a given mass is independent of environment and the presence/absence of a close companion. These results suggest that interactions and/or mergers in a high-density environment could induce star formation in massive galaxies at z similar to 1.2, increasing the fraction of star-forming galaxies with M-* greater than or similar to 10(10) M-circle dot.

Abstract: International audience; As part of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey we have investigated the rest-frame far-infrared (FIR) properties of a sample of more than 4800 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey North field. Most LBGs are not detected individually, but we do detect a sub-sample of 12 objects at 0.7 \textless z \textless 1.6 and one object at z = 2.0. The ones detected by Herschel SPIRE have redder observed NUV - U and U - R colors than the others, while the undetected ones have colors consistent with average LBGs at z \textgreater 2.5. The UV-to-FIR spectral energy distributions of the objects detected in the rest-frame FIR are investigated using the code CIGALE to estimate physical parameters. We find that LBGs detected by SPIRE are high-mass, luminous infrared galaxies. It appears that LBGs are located in a triangle-shaped region in the A(FUV) versus log L(FUV) = 0 diagram limited by A(FUV) = 0 at the bottom and by a diagonal following the temporal evolution of the most massive galaxies from the bottom right to the top left of the diagram. This upper envelop can be used as upper limits for the UV dust attenuation as a function of L(FUV). The limits of this region are well explained using a closed-box model, where the chemical evolution of galaxies produces metals, which in turn lead to higher dust attenuation when the galaxies age.

Abstract: International audience; Aims. The role of minor galaxy mergers in galaxy evolution, and in particular to mass assembly, remains an open question. In this work we measure the merger fraction, f(m), of L-B greater than or similar to L-B* galaxies in the VVDS-Deep spectroscopic survey, and study its dependence on the B-band luminosity ratio the pair galaxies, mu L-B,L-2/L-B,L-1, focusing on minor mergers with 1/10 \textless= mu \textless 1/4, and on the rest-frame NUV - r colour of the principal galaxies. Methods. We use spectroscopic pairs with redshift z greater than or similar to 1 in the VVDS-Deep survey to define kinematical close pairs as those galaxies with a separation on the sky plane 5 h(-1) kpc \textless r(p) \textless= r(p)(max) and a relative velocity Delta v \textless= 500 km s(-1) in redshift space. We vary r(p)(max) from 30 h(-1) kpc to 100 h(-1) kpc. We study f(m) in two redshift intervals and for several values of mu, from 1/2 to 1/10. We take mu \textgreater= 1/4 and 1/10 \textless= mu \textless 1/4 as major and minor mergers. Results. The merger fraction increases with z and its dependence on mu is well described by a power-law function, f(m) (\textgreater=mu) proportional to mu(s). The value of s evolves from s = -0.60 +/- 0.08 at z = 0.8 to s = -1.02 +/- 0.13 at z = 0.5. The fraction of minor mergers for bright galaxies shows little evolution with redshift as a power-law (1+z)(m) with index m = - 0.4 +/- 0.7 for the merger fraction and m = - 0.5 +/- 0.7 for the merger rate, in contrast with the increase in the major merger fraction (m = 1.3 +/- 0.5) and rate (m = 1.3 +/- 0.6) for the same galaxies. We split our principal galaxies in red and blue, finding that i) f(m) is higher for red galaxies at every mu, ii) f red m does not evolve with z, with s = -0.79 +/- 0.12 at 0.2 \textless z \textless 0.95, and iii) f blue m evolves dramatically: the major merger fraction of blue galaxies decreases by a factor of three with cosmic time, while the minor merger fraction of blue galaxies is roughly constant. Conclusions. Our results show that the mass of normal L-B greater than or similar to L-B* galaxies has grown by about 25% since z similar to 1 because of the combined effects of minor and major mergers. The relative contribution of the mass growth by merging is similar to 25% due to minor mergers and similar to 75% due to major mergers. The relative effect of merging is more important for red than for blue galaxies, with red galaxies subject to 0.5 minor and 0.7 major mergers since z similar to 1, which leads to a mass growth of similar to 40% and a size increase by a factor of 2. Our results also suggest that, for blue galaxies, minor mergers likely lead to early-type spirals rather than elliptical galaxies. These results show that minor merging is a significant but not dominant mechanism contributing to the mass growth of galaxies in the last similar to 8 Gyr.

Abstract: International audience; We present three bright z(+)-dropout candidates selected from deep near-infrared (NIR) imaging of the COSMOS 2 deg(2) field. All three objects match the 0.8-8 mu m colors of other published z \textgreater 7 candidates but are 3 mag brighter, facilitating further study. Deep spectroscopy of two of the candidates covering 0.64-1.02 mu m with Keck-DEIMOS and all three covering 0.94-1.10 mu m and 1.52-1.80 mu m with Keck-NIRSPEC detects weak spectral features tentatively identified as Ly alpha at z = 6.95 and z = 7.69 in two of the objects. The third object is placed at z similar to 1.6 based on a 24 mu m and weak optical detection. A comparison with the spectral energy distributions of known z \textless 7 galaxies, including objects with strong spectral lines, large extinction, and large systematic uncertainties in the photometry, yields no objects with similar colors. However, the lambda \textgreater 1 mu m properties of all three objects can be matched to optically detected sources with photometric redshifts at z similar to 1.8, so the non-detection in the i(+) and z(+) bands is the primary factor which favors a z \textgreater 7 solution. If any of these objects are at z similar to 7, the bright end of the luminosity function is significantly higher at z \textgreater 7 than suggested by previous studies, but consistent within the statistical uncertainty and the dark matter halo distribution. If these objects are at low redshift, the Lyman break selection must be contaminated by a previously unknown population of low-redshift objects with very strong breaks in their broadband spectral energy distributions and blue NIR colors. The implications of this result on luminosity function evolution at high redshift are discussed. We show that the primary limitation of z \textgreater 7 galaxy searches with broad filters is the depth of the available optical data.

Abstract: International audience; Aims. We use a combination of CFHTLS deep optical data, WIRcam Deep Survey (WIRDS) near-infrared data and XMM-Newton survey data to identify z greater than or similar to 1.1 clusters in the CFHTLS D1 and D4 fields. Counterparts to such clusters can not be identified without deep near-infrared data and as such the total of approximate to 1 deg(2) of J, H and K-s band imaging provided by WIRDS is an indispensable tool in such work. Methods. Using public XMM X-ray data, we identify extended X-ray sources in the two fields. The resulting catalogue of extended X-ray sources was then analyzed for optical/near-infrared counterparts, using a red-sequence algorithm applied to the deep optical and near-infrared data. Redshifts of candidate groups and clusters were estimated using the median photometric redshifts of detected counterparts and where available these were combined with spectroscopic data (from VVDS deep and ultra-deep and using AAT AAOmega data). Additionally, we surveyed X-ray point sources for potential group systems at the limit of our detection range in the X-ray data. A catalogue of z \textgreater 1.1 cluster candidates in the two fields has been compiled and cluster masses, radii and temperatures have been estimated using the scaling relations. Results. The catalogue of group and cluster candidates consists of 15 z greater than or similar to 1.1 objects. We find several massive clusters (M greater than or similar to 10(14) M-circle dot) and a number of lower mass clusters/groups. Three of the detections are previously published extended X-ray sources. Of note is JKSC 041 (previously detected via Chandra X-ray data and reported as a z = 1.9 cluster based on UKIDSS infrared imaging) for which we identify a number of structures at redshifts of z = 0.8, z = 0.96, z = 1.13 and z = 1.49 (but see no evidence of a structure at z = 1.9). We also make an independent detection of the massive cluster, XMMXCS J2215.9-1738, for which we estimate a redshift of z = 1.37 (compared to the spectroscopically confirmed redshift of z = 1.45). We use the z greater than or similar to 1.1 catalogue to compare the cluster number counts in these fields with models based on WMAP 7-year cosmology and find that the models slightly over-predict the observations, whilst at z \textgreater 1.5 we do not detect any clusters. We note that cluster number counts at z greater than or similar to 1.1 are highly sensitive to the cosmological model, however a significant reduction in present statistical (due to available survey area) and systematic (due to cluster scaling relations) uncertainties is required in order to confidently constrain cosmological parameters using cluster number counts at high redshift.
