The insignificance of major mergers in driving star formation at z ≃ 2
(2013-02-01)
We study the significance of major-merger-driven star formation in the early Universe, by quantifying the contribution of this process to the total star formation budget in 80 massive (M* > 1010 M) galaxies at z ≃ 2. ...
Newborn spheroids at high redshift : When and how did the dominant, old stars in today's massive galaxies form?
(2013-01-11)
We study ~330 massive (M > 10M), newborn spheroidal galaxies (SGs) around the epoch of peak star formation (1 <z <3) to explore the high-redshift origin of SGs and gain insight into when and how the old stellar populations ...
Constraining stellar assembly and active galactic nucleus feedback at the peak epoch of star formation
(2012-09-01)
We study stellar assembly and feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) around the epoch of peak star formation (1 ≲ z ≲ 2), by comparing hydrodynamic simulations to rest-frame UV-optical galaxy colours from the Wide Field ...
The size evolution of passive galaxies : observations from the Wide-Field Camera 3 Early Release Science program
(2012-04-10)
We present the size evolution of passively evolving galaxies at z 2 identified in Wide-Field Camera 3 imaging from the Early Release Science program. Our sample was constructed using an analog to the passive BzK galaxy ...
A panchromatic catalog of early-type galaxies at intermediate redshift in the Hubble Space Telescope wide field camera 3 early release science field
(2012-03-01)
In the first of a series of forthcoming publications, we present a panchromatic catalog of 102 visually selected early-type galaxies (ETGs) from observations in the Early Release Science (ERS) program with the Wide Field ...
The Hubble Space Telescope wide field camera 3 early release science data : Panchromatic faint object counts for 0.2-2 μm wavelength
(2011-04-01)
We describe the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) Early Release Science (ERS) observations in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) South field. The new WFC3 ERS data provide calibrated, ...
