Faint Tidal Features in Galaxies within the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey Wide Fields
Adam M. Atkinson, Roberto G. Abraham, Annette M. N. Ferguson
We present an analysis of the detectability of faint tidal features in galaxies from the wide-field component of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey. Our sample consis…
A close-pair analysis of damp mergers at intermediate redshifts
Richard C. Y. Chou, Carrie R. Bridge, Roberto G. Abraham
We have studied the kinematics of ~2800 candidate close pair galaxies at 0.1<z<1.2 identified from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey fields. Spectra of these systems…
Hot Disks And Delayed Bar Formation
Kartik Sheth, Jason Melbourne, Debra Meloy Elmegreen +4
We present observational evidence for the inhibition of bar formation in dispersion-dominated (dynamically hot) galaxies by studying the relationship between galactic structure and…
On the Shapes and Structures of High-Redshift Compact Galaxies
M. Chevance, A. Weijmans, I. Damjanov +5
Recent deep Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 imaging suggests that a majority of compact quiescent massive galaxies at z~2 may contain disks. To investigate this claim, we have compared…
Red Nuggets at High Redshift: Structural Evolution of Quiescent Galaxies Over 10 Gyr of Cosmic History
Ivana Damjanov, Roberto G. Abraham, Karl Glazebrook +15
We present an analysis of the size growth seen in early-type galaxies over 10 Gyr of cosmic time. Our analysis is based on a homogeneous synthesis of published data from 17 spectro…
A Fundamental Line for Elliptical Galaxies
Preethi Nair, Sidney van den Bergh, Roberto G. Abraham
Recent studies have shown that massive galaxies in the distant universe are surprisingly compact, with typical sizes about a factor of three smaller than equally massive galaxies i…
