    IAU  Symposium  311  –  Galaxy  Masses  as  Constraints  of  Forma  2.  The  cross  correla,on   is  shown  as  a  func,on  of  the  correla,on  length  θ.    Conclusion:  we  do  not   see  currently  any  cross-‐correla,on  between  peaks  of   the  mass   maps   and   massive   compact   quiescent   candidates.  We   note   that   we   have  observed  a  contamina,on  by  stars  in  our  sample.  

    The  Canada-‐France-‐Hawaii  Telescope  Stripe-‐82  (CS82)  project  consists   in  an   i-‐band  survey,  covering  173  deg2  of  the  SDSS  equatorial  Stripe  82  (Erben  et  al.,  in  prep).  Data  have  been  obtained  in  excellent  seeing  condi,ons  (between  0.4  and  0.8  arcsec  with  a  median  of  0.59  arcsec),  down  to  a  5σ  limi,ng  magnitude  of  iAB≈24.0.  CS82  survey  was  designed  primarily  for  lensing  analysis,  probing  mass  distribu,on  with  redshij  <  0.7.    The  SDSS  Stripe-‐82  equatorial  region  is  currently  one  of  the  richest  region  of  the  sky  in  terms  of  mul,-‐wavelength  coverage  associated  to  a  large  area.  An  interna,onal  effort  is  going  on  to  join  all  efforts.  Primarily,  SDSS  has  scanned  repeatedly  this  area,  providing  photometric  data  in  ugriz  down  to  r23.5  for  galaxies  (Annis  et  al.  2011).  Furthermore,  data  are  also  available  in  op,cal  (DES,  HSC,  GALEX,  Pan-‐STARRS),  near-‐infrared  (IR;  UKIDSS,  VHS,  NEWFIRM,  2MASS),  mid-‐IR  (Shela,  SpIES,  WISE,  VICS82),  far-‐IR  (HELMS,  HerS),  radio  (VLA,  ACT,  Planck)  and  X-‐ray  (Chandra,  XMM,  Swij,  NuSTAR)  wavelengths.  Various  spectroscopic  surveys  have  been  conducted  so  far  (SDSS,  HETDEX,  Wigglez,  VVDS,  DEEP2,  PRIMUS…).  This  setup  allows  unique  sta,s,cal  studies  of  galaxy  popula,ons.

    With   the   excep,onal   quality   of   CS82   images,   it   is   possible   to  calculate  morphological   proper,es  of   a   large   sample  of   objects,  reaching  current   limit  of   large   scale   surveys.  We  have  used   two  sojwares   developed   to   be   run   together:   SExtractor   (Ber,n   &  Arnouts,  1996,  v2.18.8)   for  the  detec,on  and  the  morphometric  es,ma,on,  and  PSFEx  (Ber,n  2011,  v3.15.0)  for  the  Point  Spread  Func,on  (PSF)  reconstruc,on.  Different  profiles  have  been  fi\ed  to   the   en,re   survey:   de   Vaucouleurs,   general   Sersic,   and  exponen,al  (Moraes  et  al.  in  prep).    Stellar   masses   and   redshijs   were   derived   using   SYNMAG  photometry   tool   (Bundy  et   al.   2012).   The   catalogue   is  based  on  Annis  et  al.  (2011)  work  on  the  coadds  of  the  SDSS  Stripe-‐82,and    taking  advantage  of  IR  data  provided  by  UKIDSS.  Priority  is  given  to  spectroscopic  redshijs  when  available.    Some  regions  were  masked  to  avoid  bright  stars  and  cosmic  rays  and  also  regions  were  the  PSF  is  poorly  constrained.  Only  galaxies  with  stellar  mass  >  5x1010  M⨀,  magnitude  i  <  21,  and  redshijs  0.2  <  z  <  0.6  are  considered.

    compact  

    The   star/galaxy   classifica,on   is   performed   using   the  SPREAD_MODEL  parameter,  produced  by  SExtractor.  It  takes  into  account  the  shape  of  the  PSF.  The  star  branch  appears   clearly   in   the   SPREAD_MODEL   vs.   Kron  magnitude  plan.    

    Matched  objects  with   the  SDSS   star   catalogue  of   Ivezic  et   al.   (2007),   despite   a   contamina,on   by   galaxies,   are  indeed  located  on  the  iden,fied  stellar  locus.  

    It   is   now   well   accepted   the   presence   of   a   popula,on   of   massive/passive   very   compact   galaxies   at   high   redshijs.  Whether   this  primordial  popula,on  evolves  to  match  the  proper,es  of  today’s  massive  ellip,cals  (e.g  van  der  Wel  et  al.  2014)  or  simply  remains  as  a  marginal  popula,on  of  relics   in  the   local  universe   is  s,ll  an  open  debate   in  the   literature  (Carollo  et  al.  2013,  Poggian,  et  al.  2013a).  In  par,cular,  li\le  is  known  on  how  the  abundance  of  these  objects  in  the  local  universe  correlates  with  environment.  Given  that   they   are  massive   and   formed   at   very   early   epochs,   one  might   naturally   think   that   they  will   end   up   in  massive   dark  ma\er  structures  today  (e.g  Poggian,  et  al.  2013b)    We  use  the  SDSS/Stripe-‐82  Megacam  imaging  (seeing  ~0.6”)  to  perform  a  systema,c  search  of  compact  galaxies  in  the  redshij  range  0.2  <  z  <  0.6  and  compute  the  correla,on  between  their  spa,al  distribu,on  and  the  dark  ma\er  density  peaks.  

    We   take   advantage   of   the   bimodality   of   the  color  histogram,  when  choosing  the  adequate  bands  around  the  4000  Å  break,  according  to  the  bin  of   redshij  considered.  An  example   is  shown   above   for   0.3   <   z   <   0.4   (following  Strateva  et  al.  2001).  

    The  next  steps  of  our  study  mainly  take  advantage  of  the  large  amount  of  data  available  on  the  Stripe-‐82  (e.g.  Stripe-‐82  Princeston  Workshop,  March  2014),  they  include:
