| Abstract: |
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) is the largest
redshift survey ever conducted with the ESO telescopes. It has used the Very
Large Telescope to collect nearly 100,000 redshifts from the general galaxy
population at 0.5≤ z ≤1.2. With a combination of volume and sampling
density that is unique for these redshifts, VIPERS allows statistical
measurements of galaxy clustering and related cosmological quantities to be
obtained on an equal footing with classic results from local redshift
surveys. At the same time, the broad selection function and ancillary
photometric data provide detailed information on the physical properties of
the galaxy population and their relation to large-scale structure. This talk
presents an overview of the results obtained so far, mostly based on the ∼
55,000 galaxies forming the first public data release (PDR-1). |
