An improved probabilistic approach for linking progenitor and descendant galaxy populations using comoving number density
Sarah Wellons, Paul Torrey
Galaxy populations at different cosmic epochs are often linked together by comoving cumulative number density in observational studies. Many theoretical works, however, have shown…

Forward and backward galaxy evolution in comoving number density space
Paul Torrey, Sarah Wellons, Chung-Pei Ma +2
Galaxy comoving number density is commonly used to forge progenitor/descendant links between observed galaxy populations at different epochs. However, this method breaks down in th…
