Extremely Compact Massive Galaxies at 1.7<z<3

Fernando Buitrago, Ignacio Trujillo, Christopher J. Conselice

We measure and analyse the sizes of 82 massive (M >= 10^11 M_Sun) galaxies at 1.7<z<3 utilizing deep HST NICMOS data taken in the GOODS North and South fields. Our sample provides…

Physical properties of galaxies and their evolution in the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. I. The evolution of the mass-metallicity relation up to z~0.9

F. Lamareille, J. Brinchmann, T. Contini +43

We derive the mass-metallicity relation of star-forming galaxies up to , using data from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey. Automatic measurement of emission-line fluxes and equi…

The environments of starburst and post-starburst galaxies at z=0.4-0.8

Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca, Dennis Zaritsky +16

Post-starburst (E+A or k+a) spectra, characterized by their exceptionally strong Balmer lines in absorption and the lack of emission lines, belong to galaxies in which the star for…

The PN.S Elliptical Galaxy Survey: the dark matter in NGC 4494

N. R. Napolitano, A. J. Romanowsky, L. Coccato +12

We present new Planetary Nebula Spectrograph observations of the ordinary elliptical galaxy NGC 4494, resulting in positions and velocities of 255 PNe out to 7 effective radii (25…

The gravitational wave background from super-inflation in Loop Quantum Cosmology

E. J. Copeland, D. J. Mulryne, N. J. Nunes +1

We investigate the behaviour of tensor fluctuations in Loop Quantum Cosmology, focusing on a class of scaling solutions which admit a near scale-invariant scalar field power spectr…

Ubiquitous outflows in DEEP2 spectra of star-forming galaxies at z=1.4

Benjamin J. Weiner, Alison L. Coil, Jason X. Prochaska +10

Galactic winds are a prime suspect for the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium and may have a strong influence on the chemical evolution of galaxies and the nature of QSO…
