We use the GOODS-MUSIC sample, a catalog of ~3000 Ks-selected galaxies based on VLT and HST observation of the GOODS-South field with extended multi-wavelength coverage (from 0.3 to 8 micron) and accurate estimates of the photometric…
Using galaxy clusters from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey, we study how the distribution of galaxies along the colour-magnitude relation has evolved since z~0.8. While red-sequence galaxies in all these clusters are well described by an…
The morphological types of galaxies in nine clusters in the redshift range 0.1<z<0.25 are derived from very good seeing images taken at the NOT and the La Silla Danish telescopes. With the purpose of investigating the evolution of the…
We present a comprehensive study of the evolution of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) in the latest and final spectroscopic data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We test the scenario of passive evolution of LRGs in 0.15<z<0.5, by…
A "friends-of-friends" percolation algorithm has been used to extract a catalogue of drho/rho = 80 density enhancements (groups) from the six slices of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS). The full catalogue contains 1495 groups and…
We use the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey (RDCS) to trace the evolution of the cluster abundance out to $z\simeq 0.8$ and constrain cosmological models. We resort to a phenomenological prescription to convert masses into $X$-ray fluxes and apply…
We estimate the evolution of the galaxy-galaxy merger fraction for $M_\star>10^{10.5}M_\odot$ galaxies over $0.25<z<1$ in the $\sim$18.6 deg$^2$ deep CLAUDS+HSC-SSP surveys. We do this by training a Random Forest Classifier to identify…
The X-ray properties of a sample of 11 high-redshift (0.6<z<1.0) clusters observed with Chandra and/or XMM are used to investigate the evolution of the cluster scaling relations. The observed evolution of the L-T and M-L relations is…
In this study we present a new experimental design using clustering-based redshift inference to measure the evolving galaxy luminosity function (GLF) spanning 5.5 decades from $L \sim 10^{11.5}$ to $ 10^6 ~ \mathrm{L}_\odot$. We use data…
The evolution of the X-ray luminosity function of clusters of galaxies has been measured to z=0.85 using over 150 X-ray selected clusters found in the WARPS survey. We find no evidence for evolution of the luminosity function at any…
This is the first paper of a series where we study the clustering of LRG galaxies in the latest spectroscopic SDSS data release, DR6, which has 75000 LRG galaxies covering over 1 $Gpc^3/h^3$ at $0.15<z<0.47$. Here we focus on modeling…
The Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) is among the first galaxy redshift surveys to sample a reasonably fair volume of the local Universe. On the largest scales (>> 100/h Mpc), the galaxy distribution appears smooth; on relatively small…
We compare the number density of compact (small size) massive galaxies at low and high redshift using our Padova Millennium Galaxy and Group Catalogue (PM2GC) at z=0.03-0.11 and the CANDELS results from Barro et al. (2013) at z=1-2. The…
We study the clustering properties of K-selected galaxies at 2<z<3.5 using deep multiwavelength imaging in three fields from the MUSYC survey. These are the first measurements to probe the spatial correlation function of K-selected galaxies…
We present the small-scale (0.2h^{-1} to 7h^{-1} Mpc) cross-correlations between 32,000 luminous early-type galaxies and a reference sample of 16 million normal galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our method allows us to construct…
We study the relationships between galaxy total luminosity (M_g), morphology, color and environment as a function of redshift. We use a magnitude-limited sample of 65,624 galaxies in the redshift range 0<z<1.3 taken from one of the…
The standard picture holds that giant elliptical galaxies formed in a single burst at high redshift. Aging of their stellar populations subsequently caused them to fade and become redder. The Canada-France Redshift Survey provides a sample…
In nearby clusters early-type galaxies follow isotropic orbits, while the orbits of late-type galaxies are characterized by slightly radial anisotropy. Little is known about the orbits of the different populations of cluster galaxies at…
(Abridged) We present a photometric investigation of the variation in galaxy colour with environment in 11 X-ray luminous clusters at 0.07<z<0.16 taken from the Las Campanas/AAT Rich Cluster Survey. We study the properties of the galaxy…
We investigate the cosmological implications of studying galaxy clustering using a tomographic approach applied to the final BOSS DR12 galaxy sample, including both auto- and cross-correlation functions between redshift shells. We model the…
