Notes. Columns (1) and (2): range of the redshift bin and its associated mean redshift for the close pairs sample. Columns (3) and (4): weight corresponding to spectroscopic redshift completeness for the two deep fields, based on the udf-10, C1(zr), and the UDF-Mosaic, C2(zr). Column (5): total cosmic variance for the combined field study, depending on the redshift bin and the median of stellar masses for the close pairs. Columns (6) and (7): median values of stellar masses for the parent and pairs samples respectively. Columns (8) and (9): number of galaxies, Ng, and pairs, Np, for the redshift bin. Column (10): major merger fraction.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
