The Importance of Satellite Quenching for the Build-Up of the Red Sequence of Present Day Galaxies

Frank C. van den Bosch, Daniel Aquino, Xiaohu Yang +5

In the current paradigm, red sequence galaxies are believed to have formed as blue disk galaxies that subsequently had their star formation quenched. Since red-sequence galaxies ty…

Ongoing Assembly of Massive Galaxies by Major Merging in Large Groups and Clusters from the SDSS

Daniel H. McIntosh, Yicheng Guo, Jen Hertzberg +4

We investigate the incidence of major mergers creating >10e11 Msun galaxies in present-day groups and clusters more massive than 2.5e13 Msun. We identify 38 pairs of massive galaxi…
