This paper presents the “First Epoch” sample from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS).
The VVDS goals, observations, data reduction with the VIPGI pipeline and redshift
measurement scheme with KBRED are discussed. Data have been obtained with the VIsible
Multi Object Spectrograph (VIMOS) on the ESO-VLT UT3, allowing us to observe 600 slits
simultaneously at a spectral resolution. A total of 11 564 objects have been observed in the
VVDS-02h and VVDS-CDFS “Deep” fields over a total area of deg 2, selected solely on the�…

We investigate the evolution of the galaxy luminosity function from the VIMOS-VLT Deep
Survey (VVDS) from the present to in five (U, B, V, R and I) rest-frame band-passes. We use
the first epoch VVDS deep sample of 11 034 spectra selected at, on which we apply the
Algorithm for Luminosity Function (ALF), described in this paper. We observe a substantial
evolution with redshift of the global luminosity functions in all bands. From to, we measure a
brightening of the characteristic magnitude M* included in the magnitude range,,, and in the�…
