Description
The zCOSMOS field benefits of high-resolution imaging in the F814W filter from the HST-ACS (Advanced Camera for Survey). We use standard morphology classifiers, optimised for being robust against band-shifting and surface brightness dimming, and a new, objective, and automated method to convert morphological parameters into early, spiral, and irregular types. We use about 10000 galaxies down to I(AB)=22.5mag with a spectroscopic sampling rate of 33% to characterise the environment of galaxies up to z~1 from the 100kpc scales of galaxy groups up to the 100Mpc scales of the cosmic web.
