Premature dismissal of high-redshift elliptical galaxies
Raul Jimenez, Amancio Friaca, James Dunlop +3
It has recently been argued that single-collapse high-redshift models for elliptical galaxy formation can be rejected because they predict large numbers of very red galaxies at int…
Optical-Infrared Colour Distribution of a Statistically-Complete Sample of Faint Field Spheroidal Galaxies
F. Menanteau, R. S. Ellis, R. G. Abraham +2
In hierarchical models, where spheroidals are primarily produced via the merger of disk galaxies, the number of intrinsically red systems at faint limits will be substantially lowe…
Lyman Break Galaxies at z>4 and the Evolution of the UV Luminosity Density at High Redshift
C. C. Steidel, K. L. Adelberger, M. Giavalisco +2
We present initial results of a survey for star-forming galaxies in the redshift range 3.8 < z < 4.5. This sample consists of a photometric catalog of 244 galaxies culled from a to…
Closing in on Omega_0: The Amplitude of Mass Fluctuations from Galaxy Clusters and the Lyman-alpha Forest
David H. Weinberg, Rupert A. C. Croft, Lars Hernquist +2
We estimate the value of the matter density parameter Ω_0 by combining constraints from the galaxy cluster mass function with Croft et al.'s recent measurement of the mass power sp…
The Power Spectrum of Mass Fluctuations Measured from the Lyman-alpha Forest at Redshift z=2.5
Rupert A. C. Croft, David H. Weinberg, Max Pettini +2
We measure the linear power spectrum of mass density fluctuations at redshift z=2.5 from the \lya forest absorption in a sample of 19 QSO spectra, using the method introduced by Cr…
The Lyman-alpha emission in local Star-Forming Galaxies: Scenario and Connection with Primeval Galaxies
D. Kunth, E. Terlevich, R. Terlevich +1
We review the Lyan alpha emission in local star-forming galaxies. In most cases as already shown by the IUE, the emission is absent or much weaker than expected. This occurs becaus…
