Finding the First Cosmic Explosions. III. Pulsational Pair-Instability Supernovae
Daniel J. Whalen, Joseph Smidt, Wesley Even +4
Population III supernovae have been the focus of growing attention because of their potential to directly probe the properties of the first stars, particularly the most energetic e…

N. Kanekar, J. X. Prochaska, A. Smette +10
We report results from a programme aimed at investigating the temperature of neutral gas in high-redshift damped Lyman- absorbers (DLAs). This involved (1) HI 21cm absorption st…
A Comparison between Semi-Analytic Model Predictions for the CANDELS Survey
Yu Lu, Risa H. Wechsler, Rachel S. Somerville +13
We compare the predictions of three independently developed semi-analytic galaxy formation models that are being used to aid in the interpretation of results from the CANDELS surve…
AGN X-ray variability in the XMM-COSMOS survey
G. Lanzuisi, G. Ponti, M. Salvato +18
We took advantage of the observations carried out by XMM in the COSMOS field during 3.5 years, to study the long term variability of a large sample of AGN (638 sources), in a wide…
Constraints on the merging channel of massive galaxies since z~1
I. Ferreras, I. Trujillo, E. Mármol-Queraltó +8
(Abridged) We probe the merging channel of massive galaxies over the z=0.3-1.3 redshift window by studying close pairs in a sample of 238 galaxies with stellar mass >1E11Msun, from…
The colour distribution of galaxies at redshift five
A. B. Rogers, R. J. McLure, J. S. Dunlop +11
We present the results of a study investigating the rest-frame ultra-violet (UV) spectral slopes of redshift z~5 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). By combining deep Hubble Space Telesco…
The Dark Matter Contribution to Galactic Diffuse Gamma Ray Emission
Lin F. Yang, Joseph Silk, Alexander S. Szalay +3
Observations of diffuse Galactic gamma ray emission (DGE) by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) allow a detailed study of cosmic rays and the interstellar medium. However, diffus…
CANDELS+3D-HST: compact SFGs at z~2-3, the progenitors of the first quiescent galaxies
G. Barro, S. M. Faber, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +32
We analyze the star-forming and structural properties of 45 massive (log(M/Msun)>10) compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 2<z<3 to explore whether they are progenitors of compac…
Galaxy Zoo: Observing Secular Evolution Through Bars
Edmond Cheung, E. Athanassoula, Karen L. Masters +10
In this paper, we use the Galaxy Zoo 2 dataset to study the behavior of bars in disk galaxies as a function of specific star formation rate (SSFR), and bulge prominence. Our sample…
On the origin of the fundamental metallicity relation and the scatter in galaxy scaling relations
John C. Forbes, Mark R. Krumholz, Andreas Burkert +1
We present a simple toy model to understand what sets the scatter in star formation and metallicity of galaxies at fixed mass. The scatter ultimately arises from the intrinsic scat…
The High-Ion Content and Kinematics of Low-Redshift Lyman Limit Systems
Andrew J. Fox, Nicolas Lehner, Jason Tumlinson +9
We study the high-ionization phase and kinematics of the circumgalactic medium around low-redshift galaxies using a sample of 23 Lyman Limit Systems (LLSs) at 0.08<z<0.93 observed…
Tying Dark Matter to Baryons with Self-interactions
Manoj Kaplinghat, Ryan E. Keeley, Tim Linden +1
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) models have been proposed to solve the small-scale issues with the collisionless cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. We derive equilibrium solution…
Low-mass galaxy assembly in simulations: regulation of early star formation by radiation from massive stars
Sebastian Trujillo-Gomez, Anatoly Klypin, Pedro Colin +3
Despite recent success in forming realistic present-day galaxies, simulations still form the bulk of their stars earlier than observations indicate. We investigate the process of s…
The Population of Giant Clumps in Simulated High-z Galaxies: In-situ and Ex-situ, Migration and Survival
Nir Mandelker, Avishai Dekel, Daniel Ceverino +3
We study the properties of giant clumps and their radial gradients in high- disc galaxies using AMR cosmological simulations. Our sample consists of 770 snapshots in the redshif…
Tracing the Mass Growth and Star Formation Rate Evolution of Massive Galaxies from z~6 to z~1 in the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field
Britt F. Lundgren, Pieter van Dokkum, Marijn Franx +8
We present an analysis of 1500 H160-selected photometric galaxies detected to a limiting magnitude of 27.8 in the HUDF, using imaging from the HST WFC3/IR camera in combinati…
Exploring the chemical link between local ellipticals and their high-redshift progenitors
Joel Leja, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Ivelina Momcheva +12
We present Keck/MOSFIRE K-band spectroscopy of the first mass-selected sample of galaxies at . Targets are selected from the 3D-HST Treasury survey. The six detected gala…
Confirmation of Small Dynamical and Stellar Masses for Extreme Emission Line Galaxies at z~2
Michael V. Maseda, Arjen van der Wel, Elisabete da Cunha +21
Spectroscopic observations from the Large Binocular Telescope and the Very Large Telescope reveal kinematically narrow lines (~50 km/s) for a sample of 14 Extreme Emission Line Gal…
A CANDELS - 3D-HST Synergy: Resolved Star Formation Patterns at 0.7 < z < 1.5

The Progenitors of the Compact Early-Type Galaxies at High-Redshift
Christina C. Williams, Mauro Giavalisco, Paolo Cassata +19
We use GOODS and CANDELS images to identify progenitors of massive (log M > 10 Msun) compact "early-type" galaxies (ETGs) at z~1.6. Since merging and accretion increase the size of…
Mergers and Mass Accretion for Infalling Halos Both End Well Outside Cluster Virial Radii
Peter S. Behroozi, Risa H. Wechsler, Yu Lu +4
We find that infalling dark matter halos (i.e., the progenitors of satellite halos) begin losing mass well outside the virial radius of their eventual host halos. The peak mass occ…
