Hubble Deep Fever: A faint galaxy diagnosis
نویسنده
چکیده
The longstanding faint blue galaxy problem is gradually subsiding as a result of technological advancement, most notably from high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging. In particular two categorical facts have recently been established, these are: 1) The excess faint blue galaxies are of irregular morphologies,

Faint galaxy counts as a function of morphological type in a hierarchical merger model
The unprecedented resolution of the refurbished Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has led to major advances in our understanding of galaxy formation. The high image quality in the Medium Deep Survey and Hubble Deep Field has made it possible, for the first time, to classify faint distant galaxies according to morphological type. These observations hav...

We compare the galaxy evolution models of Bruzual & Char-lot (1993) with faint galaxy count, size and colour data from the Hubble and Herschel Deep Fields (Metcalfe et al 1996). For q o = 0.05, we find that models where the SFR increases exponentially out to z > 2 are consistent with all of the observational data. For q o = 0.5, such models require an extra population of galaxies which are only...
متن کاملThe Spiderweb Galaxy: a Forming Massive Cluster Galaxy
We present a deep image of the radio galaxy MRC 1138 262 taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at a redshift of . The galaxy is known to have properties of a cD galaxy progenitor and be surrounded z p 2.2 by a 3 Mpc–sized structure, identified with a protocluster. The morphology shown on the new deep HST ACS image is reminiscent of a spider’s web. More than 10 individual clumpy features a...
متن کاملThe Morphological Identiication of the Rapidly Evolving Population of Faint Galaxies
The excess numbers of blue galaxies at faint magnitudes are a long-standing cosmo-logical puzzle. We present new number-magnitude counts as a function of galactic morphology from the rst deep elds of the Cycle 4 Hubble Space Telescope Medium Deep Survey project. From a sample of 301 galaxies we deene counts for elliptical, spiral and irregular/peculiar galaxies to I = 22. We nd two principal re...
متن کاملGalaxy Morphology in the GTO-NICMOS Northern Hubble Deep Field
Abstract. The increased incidence of morphologically peculiar galaxies at faint magnitudes in the optical could be attributable either to “morphological k-corrections” (the change in appearance when viewing high-z objects at shorter rest-frame wavelengths), or an increase in the incidence of truly irregular systems with redshift. The deep, high-resolution GTO-NICMOS near-IR imaging of a portion...
