ZFOURGE/CANDELS: On the Evolution of M* Galaxy Progenitors from z=3 to 0.5

Casey Papovich, I. Labbé, R. Quadri +38

Galaxies with stellar masses near M* contain the majority of stellar mass in the universe, and are therefore of special interest in the study of galaxy evolution. The Milky Way (MW…

Extragalactic Jets as Probes of Distant Clusters of Galaxies and the Clusters Occupied by Bent Radio AGN (COBRA) Survey

Elizabeth L. Blanton, Rachel Paterno-Mahler, Joshua D. Wing +6

We are conducting a large survey of distant clusters of galaxies using radio sources with bent jets and lobes as tracers. These radio sources are driven by AGN and achieve their be…

Clumpy Galaxies in CANDELS. I. The Definition of UV Clumps and the Fraction of Clumpy Galaxies at 0.5<z<3

Yicheng Guo, Henry C. Ferguson, Eric F. Bell +19

Although giant clumps of stars are crucial to galaxy formation and evolution, the most basic demographics of clumps are still uncertain, mainly because the definition of clumps has…

The host galaxies of X-ray selected Active Galactic Nuclei to z=2.5: Structure, star-formation and their relationships from CANDELS and Herschel/PACS

D. J. Rosario, D. H. McIntosh, A. van der Wel +60

We study the relationship between the structure and star-formation rate (SFR) of X-ray selected low and moderate luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the two Chandra Deep Fi…

Galaxy Zoo: CANDELS Barred Disks and Bar Fractions

B. D. Simmons, Thomas Melvin, Chris Lintott +39

The formation of bars in disk galaxies is a tracer of the dynamical maturity of the population. Previous studies have found that the incidence of bars in disks decreases from the l…

No More Active Galactic Nuclei in Clumpy Disks Than in Smooth Galaxies at z~2 in CANDELS / 3D-HST

Jonathan R. Trump, Guillermo Barro, Stephanie Juneau +23

We use CANDELS imaging, 3D-HST spectroscopy, and Chandra X-ray data to investigate if active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are preferentially fueled by violent disk instabilities funnelin…

Obscuration by Gas and Dust in Luminous Quasars

Shawn M. Usman, Stephen S. Murray, Ryan C. Hickox +1

We explore the connection between absorption by neutral gas and extinction by dust in mid-infrared (IR) selected luminous quasars. We use a sample of 33 quasars at redshifts 0.7 <…

Discovery of a Strong Lensing Galaxy Embedded in a Cluster at z = 1.62

Kenneth C. Wong, Kim-Vy H. Tran, Sherry H. Suyu +9

We identify a strong lensing galaxy in the cluster IRC 0218 (also known as XMM-LSS J0218205102) that is spectroscopically confirmed to be at , making it the highest-reds…

Kinematic alignment of non-interacting CALIFA galaxies: Quantifying the impact of bars on stellar and ionised gas velocity field orientations

J. K. Barrera-Ballesteros, J. Falcón-Barroso, B. García-Lorenzo +20

We present 80 stellar and ionised gas velocity maps from the Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey in order to characterize the kinematic orientation of non-interac…

The Decomposed Bulge and Disk Size-Mass Relations of Massive Galaxies at 1<z<3 in CANDELS

V. A. Bruce, J. S. Dunlop, R. J. McLure +15

We have constructed a mass-selected sample of Mstar>10^11Msolar galaxies at 1<z<3 in the CANDELS UDS and COSMOS fields and have decomposed these systems into their separate bulge a…

The Bulge-Disk Decomposed Evolution of Massive Galaxies at 1<z<3 in CANDELS

V. A. Bruce, J. S. Dunlop, R. J. McLure +15

We present the results of a new and improved study of the morphological and spectral evolution of massive galaxies over the redshift range 1<z<3. Our analysis is based on a bulge-d…
