Galaxy Merger Morphologies and Time-Scales from Simulations of Equal-Mass Gas-Rich Disc Mergers
Jennifer M. Lotz, Patrik Jonsson, T. J. Cox +1
A key obstacle to understanding the galaxy merger rate and its role in galaxy evolution is the difficulty in constraining the merger properties and time-scales from instantaneous s…
The Redshift Evolution of Wet, Dry, and Mixed Galaxy Mergers from Close Galaxy Pairs in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey
Lihwai Lin, David R. Patton, David C. Koo +11
We study the redshift evolution of galaxy pair fractions and merger rates for different types of galaxies using kinematic pairs selected from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. By paramete…
The HST/ACS Coma Cluster Survey: I - Survey Objectives and Design
David Carter, Paul Goudfrooij, Bahram Mobasher +34
We describe the HST ACS Coma cluster Treasury survey, a deep two-passband imaging survey of one of the nearest rich clusters of galaxies, the Coma cluster (Abell 1656). The survey…
The role of AGN in the colour transformation of galaxies at redshifts z~1
A. Georgakakis, K. Nandra, R. Yan +10
We explore the role of AGN in establishing and/or maintaining the bimodal colour distribution of galaxies by quenching their star-formation and hence, causing their transition from…
HST morphologies of local Lyman break galaxy analogs I: Evidence for starbursts triggered by merging
Roderik A. Overzier, Timothy M. Heckman, Guinevere Kauffmann +10
Heckman et al. (2005) used the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) UV imaging survey to show that there exists a rare population of nearby compact UV-luminous galaxies (UVLGs) that c…
The Globular Cluster Luminosity Function and Specific Frequency in Dwarf Elliptical Galaxies
Bryan W. Miller, Jennifer M. Lotz
The globular cluster luminosity function, specific globular cluster frequency, S_N, specific globular cluster mass, T_MP, and globular cluster mass fraction in dwarf elliptical gal…
