The distribution of stellar mass in the low-redshift Universe
We use a complete and uniform sample of almost half a million galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to characterise the distribution of stellar mass in the lowredshift Universe. Galaxy abundances are well determined over almost four orders of magnitude in stellar mass, and are reasonably but not perfectly fit by a Schechter function with characteristic stellar mass m∗ = 6.7× 10 10M⊙ and wi...
متن کاملII : A Probe of the Low Redshift Universe
Gravitational fluctuations along the line-of-sight from the surface of last scatter to the observer distort the microwave background in several related ways: The fluctuations deflect the photon path (gravitational lensing), the decay of the gravitational potential produces additional fluctuations (ISW effect) and scattering off of hot gas in clusters produce additional fluctuations (Sunyaev-Zel...
متن کاملStandard rulers, candles, and clocks from the low-redshift universe.
We measure the length of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature, and the expansion rate of the recent Universe, from low-redshift data only, almost model independently. We make only the following minimal assumptions: homogeneity and isotropy, a metric theory of gravity, a smooth expansion history, and the existence of standard candles (supernovæ) and a standard BAO ruler. The rest is det...
متن کاملSemi-analytical Galaxy Formation Models and the High Redshift Universe
Semi-analytical models of galaxy formation based on hierarchical clustering now make a wide range of predictions for observable properties of galaxies at low and high redshift. This article concentrates on 2 aspects: (1) Self-consistent modelling of dust absorption predicts a mean UV extinction AUV ∼ 1 mag, depending only weakly on redshift, and similar to observational estimates. (2) The model...
متن کاملObservations of the High Redshift Universe
In this series of lectures, aimed for non-specialists, I review the considerable progress that has been made in the past decade in understanding how galaxies form and evolve. Complementing the presentations of my theoretical colleagues, I focus primarily on the impressive achievements of observational astronomers. A credible framework, the ΛCDM model, now exists for interpreting these observati...
