The cosmic evolution survey (COSMOS): overview
Abstract The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) is designed to probe the correlated
evolution of galaxies, star formation, active galactic nuclei (AGNs), and dark matter (DM) with
large-scale structure (LSS) over the redshift range z> 0.5-6. The survey includes
multiwavelength imaging and spectroscopy from X-ray-to-radio wavelengths covering a 2
deg 2 area, including HST imaging. Given the very high sensitivity and resolution of these
data sets, COSMOS also provides unprecedented samples of objects at high redshift with�…

zCOSMOS: a large VLT/VIMOS redshift survey covering 0< z< 3 in the COSMOS field

Abstract zCOSMOS is a large-redshift survey that is being undertaken in the COSMOS field
using 600 hr of observation with the VIMOS spectrograph on the 8 m VLT. The survey is
designed to characterize the environments of COSMOS galaxies from the 100 kpc scales of
galaxy groups up to the 100 Mpc scale of the cosmic web and to produce diagnostic
information on galaxies and active galactic nuclei. The zCOSMOS survey consists of two
parts:(1) zCOSMOS-bright, a magnitude-limited I-band I AB< 22.5 sample of about 20,000�…
