We compare three methods to measure the count-in-cell probability density function of galaxies in a spectroscopic redshift survey. From this comparison we found that, when the sampling is low (the average number of object per cell is around unity), it is necessary to use a parametric method to model the galaxy distribution. We used a set of...

Aims. We use the first release of the VImos Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey of galaxies (VIPERS) of ∼50 000 objects to measure the biasing relation between galaxies and mass in the redshift range z = [0.5,1.1]. Methods. We estimate the 1-point distribution function [PDF] of VIPERS galaxies from counts in cells and, assuming a model for the...

We investigate redshift evolution of the relation between stellar mass, and star formation history for a high quality sample of early-type galaxies (ETGs) observed by the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS). Among nearly 100,000 VIPERS targets more than 22% are ETGs, which makes it a perfect sample to study the star, formation...

We use the first release of the VImos Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey of galaxies (VIPERS) of ~50,000 objects to measure the biasing relation between galaxies and mass in the redshift range z=[0.5,1.1]. We estimate the 1-point distribution function [PDF] of VIPERS galaxies from counts in cells and, assuming a model for the mass PDF, we...

We present the first Public Data Release (PDR-1) of the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Survey (VIPERS). It comprises 57 204 spectroscopic measurements together with all additional information necessary for optimal scientific exploitation of the data, in particular the associated photometric measurements and quantification of the photometric and...

We explore the evolution of the Colour-Magnitude Relation (CMR) and Luminosity Function (LF) at 0.410^11 M_sun) and expeditious RS formation over a short period of ~1.5 Gyr starting before z=1. This is supported by the detection of ongoing SF in ETGs at 0.9
