Early Hierarchical Formation of Massive Galaxies Triggered By Interactions
N. Menci, A. Cavaliere, A. Fontana +3
To address the problem concerning the early formation of stars in massive galaxies, we present the results of a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation which includes a physical de…
The evolution of the galaxy luminosity function in the rest frame blue band up to z=3.5
F. Poli, E. Giallongo, A. Fontana +14
We present an estimate of the cosmological evolution of the field galaxy luminosity function (LF) in the rest frame 4400 Angstrom B -band up to redshift z=3.5. To this purpose, we…
Quasar Evolution Driven by Galaxy Encounters in Hierarchical Structures
N. Menci, A. Cavaliere, A. Fontana +3
We link the evolution of the galaxies in the hierarchical clustering scenario with the changing accretion rates of cold gas onto the central massive black holes that power the quas…
The K20 survey. V The evolution of the near-IR Luminosity Function
L. Pozzetti, A. Cimatti, G. Zamorani +12
We present the galaxy rest-frame near-IR Luminosity Function (LF) and its cosmic evolution to z=1.5 based on a spectroscopic survey of a magnitude limited sample of galaxies with K…
An ESO/VLT survey of NIR (Z<=25) selected galaxies at redshifts 4.5<z<6: constraining the cosmic star formation rate near the reionization epoch
A. Fontana, F. Poli, N. Menci +4
We present the results of a VLT and HST imaging survey aimed at the identification of 4.5<z<6 galaxies. In the VLT data, a set of broad and intermediate band filters has been used…
The K20 survey. IV. The redshift distribution of Ks<20 galaxies: a test of galaxy formation models
A. Cimatti, L. Pozzetti, M. Mignoli +11
We present the redshift distribution of a complete sample of 480 galaxies with Ks<20 distributed over two independent fields covering a total area of 52 arcmin^2. The redshift comp…
