Abstract:
The nature of galaxy structures on large scales is a key observational
prediction for current models of galaxy formation. The Sloan Digital
Sky Survey (SDSS) and the 2dF galaxy survey have revealed a number of
structures on 40-150h-1Mpc scales at low redshifts, and some even
larger ones. To constrain galaxy number densities, luminosities, and
stellar populations in large structures at higher redshift, we have
investigated two sheet-like structures of galaxies at z=0.8 and 1.3
spanning 150h-1 comoving Mpc embedded in large quasar groups (LQGs)
extending over at least 200h-1Mpc. We present first results of an
analysis of these sheet-like structures using two contiguous 1°
Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) fields (FUV and NUV)
cross-correlated with optical data from the SDSS. We derive a sample
of 462 Lyman break galaxy (LBG) candidates coincident with the sheets.
Using the GALEX and SDSS data, we show that the overall average
spectral energy distribution of a LBG galaxy at z∼1 is flat (in
fλ) in the rest-frame wavelength range from 1500Å to
4000Å, implying evolved populations of stars in the LBGs. From the
luminosity functions we get indications for overdensities in the two
LQGs compared to their foreground regions.
Description:
We observed part of the Clowes-Campusano Large Quasar Group (CCLQG),
it contains at least 18 bright quasars at 1.2<z<1.5 and a spatial
overdensity of 3 for BJ≤20.0mag (Clowes & Campusano 1991, Cat.
J/MNRAS/249/218). The CCLQG covers ∼2.5degx5deg (∼120x240h-2Mpc2)
and is 590h-1Mpc deep. For this study we have imaged two slightly
overlapping 1.2deg fields within the CCLQG in the far-UV
(λeff=1538.6Å) and near-UV (λeff=2315.7Å)
filter bands, using the UV satellite GALEX (Galaxy Evolution
Explorer). The observations were part of the Guest Investigator
program, cycle 1 (October 2004 - September 2005) proposal 35.

Note on table2.dat: the list includes all all the objects selected following
the selection criteria of Burgarella et al. 2006A&A...450...69B 2006A&A...450...69B plus the
criteria described in Sect. 2.3 and Fig. 2.; there is therefore a high
stellar contamination, especially for the brightest part (mag. 9-16)
