How Massive Are Massive Compact Galaxies?
Using a sample of nine massive compact galaxies at z ∼ 2.3 with rest-frame optical spectroscopy and comprehensive U → 8μm photometry we investigate how assumptions in SED modeling change the stellar mass estimates of these galaxies, and how this affects our interpretation of their size evolution. The SEDs are fit to τ -models with a range of metallicities, dust laws, as well as different stella...
متن کاملWhy Massive Black Holes Are Small in Disk Galaxies ?
A potential mechanism is proposed to account for the fact that supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in disk galaxies appear to be smaller than those in elliptical galaxies in the same luminosity range. We consider the formation of SMBHs by radiation drag (Poynting-Robertson effect), which extracts angular momentum from interstellar matter and thereby drives the mass accretion onto a galactic center...
متن کاملOn the Survival and Abundance of Disk-dominated Galaxies
We study the formation of disk-dominated galaxies in a ΛCDM universe. Their existence is considered to be a challenge for the ΛCDM cosmology, because galaxy mergers isotropize stellar disks and trigger angular momentum transport in gas disks, thus fostering the formation of central stellar spheroids. Here, we postulate that the formation of stellar spheroids from gas-rich disks is controlled by...
متن کاملOn The Formation of Disk Galaxies and Massive Central Objects
We propose that massive central objects form in the centers of the bars which must develop in young high-surface density galactic disks. Large-scale dynamics shuts off the growth of the central mass before it reaches ∼ 2% of the disk mass at the time, but this mass is sufficient to weaken the bar substantially. Subsequent evolution of the galaxy can either complete the destruction of the bar or...
متن کاملCompact High-Redshift Galaxies Are the Cores of the Most Massive Present-Day Spheroids
Observations suggest that the effective radii of high-redshift massive spheroids are as much as a factor ∼ 6 smaller than low-redshift galaxies of comparable mass. Given the apparent absence of low-redshift counterparts, this has often been interpreted as indicating that the high density, compact red galaxies must be “puffed up” by some mechanism. We compare the ensemble of high-redshift observ...
