cds-question@unistra.frCharacterisation of cosmic voids gives unique information about the large-scale distribution of galaxies, their evolution, and the cosmological model. We identify and characterise cosmic voids in the VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) at redshift 0.55 <z< 0.9. A new void search method is developed based upon the identification of empty spheres that fit between galaxies. The method can be used to characterise the cosmic voids despite the presence of complex survey boundaries and internal gaps. We investigate the impact of systematic observational effects and validate the method against mock catalogues. We measure the void size distribution and the void-galaxy correlation function.2014A&A...570A.106Mhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/570/A106CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-tohttp://vipers.inaf.it : VIPERS databasehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/570/A106https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/570/A106http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/570/A106https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/570/A106https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/570/A106http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/570/A106GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/570/A106/void (List of maximal spheres detected in VIPERS samples)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/570/A106/void?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/570/A106/void?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/570/A106/void?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true37.8618-5.08050.0055555555555555565/4421-4422 4425 4764 6/17679 17683 17692 17699 17705 17708 17712 19035 19037-19039 19047 19053 19060-19062 19064-19065https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/570/A106?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/570/A106/voidList of maximal spheres detected in VIPERS samplesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
