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 ...
A WFC3 study of globular clusters in NGC 4150 : An early-type minor merger
(2012-05-01)
We combine near-ultraviolet (NUV; 2250 Å) and optical (U, B, V, I) imaging from the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), on-board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), to study the globular cluster (GC) population in NGC 4150, a sub-L* ...
Triggered star formation in the inner filament of Centaurus A
(2012-04-01)
We present recent Hubble Space Telescope observations of the inner filament of Centaurus A, using the new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) F225W, F657N and F814W filters. We find a young stellar population near the south-west ...
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 ...
