Completeness test for red galaxies in the VIPERS PDR-1. The red histogram displays the observed real red galaxies at 1.0 < z < 1.3 transformed to 0.9 < z < 1.0, whereas the simulated samples are two representations of red galaxy samples at 0.9 < z < 1.0. The properties of the real sample are consistent with the properties of their simulated counterparts.
