Recent star formation in high-redshift early-type galaxies: insights from the rest-frame UV
S. Kaviraj, S. K. Yi, E. Gawiser +4
We combine deep UBVRIzJK photometry from the MUSYC survey with redshifts from the COMBO-17 survey to study the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) properties of 674 high-redshift (0.5<z<1)…
The UV colours of high-redshift early-type galaxies: evidence for recent star formation and stellar mass assembly over the last 8 billion years
S. Kaviraj, S. Khochfar, K. Schawinski +7
We combine deep UBVRIzJK photometry from the Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC) with redshifts from the COMBO-17 survey to perform a large-scale study of the rest-frame u…
Galaxy Evolution and Environment
Pieter van Dokkum, Ryan Quadri
The properties of galaxies are strongly correlated with their environment, with red galaxies dominating galaxy clusters and blue galaxies dominating the general field. However, not…
The Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC): Deep Near-Infrared Imaging and the Selection of Distant Galaxies
Ryan Quadri, Danilo Marchesini, Pieter van Dokkum +18
We present deep near-infrared JHK imaging of four 10'x10' fields. The observations were carried out as part of the Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC) with ISPI on the CTI…
The rest-frame optical luminosity functions of galaxies at 2<z<3.5
Danilo Marchesini, Pieter van Dokkum, Ryan Quadri +7
We present the rest-frame optical (B, V, and R band) luminosity functions (LFs) of galaxies at 2<z<3.5, measured from a K-selected sample constructed from the deep NIR MUSYC, the u…
Faint InfraRed Extragalactic Survey: Data and Source Catalogue of the MS1054-03 field
N. M. Forster Schreiber, M. Franx, I. Labbe +8
We present deep near-infrared Js, H, and Ks band imaging of a field around MS1054-03, a massive cluster at z=0.83. The observations were carried out with ISAAC at the ESO VLT as pa…
The Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC): Survey Design and Deep Public UBVRIz' Images and Catalogs of the Extended Hubble Deep Field South
MUSYC Collaboration, E. Gawiser, P. G. van Dokkum +25
We present UBVRIz' optical images of the 0.32 square degree Extended Hubble Deep Field South. This is one of four fields comprising the MUSYC survey, which is optimized for the stu…
The Recent and Continuing Assembly of Field Ellipticals by Red Mergers
Pieter G. van Dokkum
We present a study of tidal debris associated with 126 nearby red galaxies selected from the MUSYC and NDWFS surveys. In the full sample 67 galaxies (53%) show morphological signat…
The NICMOS Ultra Deep Field: Observations, Data Reduction, and Galaxy Photometry
Rodger I. Thompson, Garth Illingworth, Rychard Bouwens +10
This paper describes the observations and data reduction techniques for the version 2.0 images and catalog of the NICMOS Ultra Deep Field Treasury program. All sources discussed in…
Distant red galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
S. Toft, P. van Dokkum, M. Franx +4
We take advantage of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (UDF) data to study the restframe optical and ultra violet (UV) morphologies of the novel population of Distant Red Galaxies (DRGs)…
Gemini Near Infrared Spectrograph Observations of a Red Star Forming Galaxy at z=2.225: Evidence for Shock-Ionization due to a Galactic Wind
P. G. van Dokkum, M. Kriek, B. Rodgers +2
Recent studies have shown that K-luminous galaxies at 2<z<2.5 have high Halpha line widths and high [NII]/Halpha ratios. If these lines arise from photo-ionization by massive stars…
The Fundamental Plane of Cluster Ellipticals at z = 1.25
B. P. Holden, A. van der Wel, M. Franx +7
Using deep HST ACS imaging and VLT FORS2 spectra, we determined the velocity dispersions, effective radii and surface brightnesses for four early-type galaxies in the clu…

Rychard J. Bouwens, Rodger I. Thompson, Garth D. Illingworth +6
We have detected likely z~7-8 galaxies in the 144"x144" NICMOS observations of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Objects are required to be >3 sigma detections in both NICMOS bands, J a…
Observing Cluster Galaxies and their Progenitors with JDEM
