The Rest - Frame Fuv Morphologies of Star - Forming Galaxies at Z ∼ 1 . 5 and Z ∼ 4
We apply a new approach to quantifying galaxy morphology and identifying galaxy mergers to the rest-frame far-ultraviolet images of 82 z ∼ 4 Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) and 55 1.2 < z < 1.8 emission-line galaxies in the GOODS and Ultra Deep Fields. We compare the distributions of the Gini coefficient (G), second-order moment of the brightest 20% of galaxy light (M20), and concentration (C) for ...
متن کاملStar 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 کاملThe Rest Frame Optical Spectra of Lyman Break Galaxies: Star Formation, Extinction, Abundances, and Kinematics
We present the first results of a spectroscopic survey of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) in the near-infrared aimed at detecting the emission lines of [O II], [O III], and Hβ from the H II regions of normal star forming galaxies at z ' 3. From observations of 15 objects with the Keck and VLT telescopes, augmented with data from the literature for an additional four, we reach the following main con...
متن کاملStar Formation and Quenching Among the Most Massive Galaxies at z
We have conducted a detailed object-by-object study of a mass-complete (M∗ ≥ 1011 M ) sample of 56 galaxies at 1.4 ≤ z ≤ 2 in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-South field, showing that an accurate deblending in 24μm images is essential to properly assign to each galaxy its own star formation rate (SFR), whereas an automatic procedure often fails. This applies especially to galaxies w...
متن کاملThe evolution of the star formation rate function and cosmic star formation rate density of galaxies at z ̃ 1-4
We investigate the evolution of the galaxy star formation rate function (SFRF) and cosmic star formation rate density (CSFRD) of z ∼ 1–4 galaxies, using cosmological smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) simulations and a compilation of ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR) and Hα observations. These tracers represent different populations of galaxies with the IR light being a probe of objects with hi...
