Stellar Disk Truncations at High–z: Probing Inside–out Galaxy Formation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have conducted a systematic search for stellar disk truncations in disk–like galaxies at intermediate redshift (z<1.1) using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF) data. We use the position of the truncation as a direct estimator of the size of the stellar disk. After accounting for the surface brightness evolution of the galaxies, our results suggest that the radial position of the truncations has increased with cosmic time by ∼1–3 kpc in the last ∼8 Gyr. This result indicates a small to moderate (∼25%) inside–out growth of the disk galaxies since z∼1.

The evolving disk galaxy population
In this contribution, I present a simplified overview of the evolution of the disk galaxy population since z = 1, and a brief discussion of a few open questions. Galaxy evolution surveys have found that the disk galaxy population forms stars intensely at intermediate redshift. In particular, they dominate the cosmic star formation rate at z < 1 — the factor of ten drop in cosmic average comovin...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
متن کاملThe Impact of Feedback on Disk Galaxy Scaling Relations
We use a disk galaxy evolution model to investigate the impact of mass outflows (a.k.a. feedback) on disk galaxy scaling relations, mass fractions and spin parameters. Our model follows the accretion, cooling, star formation and ejection of baryonic mass inside growing dark matter haloes, with cosmologically motivated angular momentum distributions. Models without feedback produce disks that ar...
متن کاملThe effect of variation of stellar dispersion velocities by the galactic latitude in interpreting gravitational microlensing observations
Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy and its stars are mostly in a thin disk and rotate around the galactic center. The vertical component of the dispersion velocity of stars is a function of the galactic latitude and decreases with increasing it. In the galactic Besancon model, this dependence is ignored and they just consider the dependence of dispersion velocity on the stellar age. Becanson model i...
متن کاملDisk Galaxy Formation in a Λcdm Universe
We describe hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation in a Λ cold dark matter (CDM) cosmology performed using a subresolution model for star formation and feedback in a multiphase interstellar medium (ISM). In particular, we demonstrate the formation of a well-resolved disk galaxy. The surface brightness profile of the galaxy is exponential, with a B-band central surface brightness of 21.0...
