Star Formation and Merging in Massive Galaxies at z < 2
Observing massive galaxies at various redshifts is one of the most straightforward and direct approaches towards understanding galaxy formation. There is now largely a consensus that the massive galaxy (M∗ > 10 11 M⊙ ) population is fully formed by z ∼ 1, based on mass and luminosity functions. However, we argue that the latest data can only rule out number and mass density evolution of a facto...
متن کاملExtremely Compact Massive Galaxies at 1.7 < Z < 3
We measure and analyse the sizes of 82 massive (M ≥ 10M⊙) galaxies at 1.7 ≤ z ≤ 3 utilizing deep HST NICMOS data taken in the GOODS North and South fields. Our sample provides the first statistical study of massive galaxy sizes at z > 2. We split our sample into disk–like (Sérsic index n ≤ 2) and spheroid– like (Sérsic index n > 2) galaxies, and find that at a given stellar mass, disk–like gala...
متن کاملExtremely compact massive galaxies at z ∼ 1 . 4
The optical rest–frame sizes of 10 of the most massive (∼5×1011h70−2M⊙) galaxies found in the near–infrared MUNICS survey at 1.2<z<1.7 are analysed. Sizes were estimated both in the J and K’ filters. These massive galaxies are at least a factor of 4 −1.0 (±1 σ) smaller in the rest–frame V–band than local counterparts of the same stellar mass. Consequently, the stellar mass density of these obje...
متن کاملThe star formation main sequence and stellar mass assembly of galaxies in the Illustris simulation
Understanding the physical processes that drive star formation is a key challenge for galaxy formation models. In this paper, we study the tight correlation between the star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass of galaxies at a given redshift, how halo growth influences star formation, and star formation histories of individual galaxies. We study these topics using Illustris, a state-of-the-ar...
