On the nature of disks at high redshift seen by JWST/CEERS with contrastive learning and cosmological simulations
J. Vega-Ferrero, M. Huertas-Company, L. Costantin +26
Visual inspections of the first optical rest-frame images from JWST have indicated a surprisingly high fraction of disk galaxies at high redshifts. Here, we alternatively apply sel…
CANDELS+3D-HST: compact SFGs at z~2-3, the progenitors of the first quiescent galaxies
G. Barro, S. M. Faber, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +32
We analyze the star-forming and structural properties of 45 massive (log(M/Msun)>10) compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 2<z<3 to explore whether they are progenitors of compac…
The insignificance of major mergers in driving star formation at z~2
S. Kaviraj, S. Cohen, R. A. Windhorst +7
We study the significance of major-merger-driven star formation in the early Universe, by quantifying the contribution of this process to the total star formation budget in 80 mass…
Newborn spheroids at high redshift: when and how did the dominant, old stars in today's massive galaxies form?
S. Kaviraj, S. Cohen, R. S. Ellis +10
We study ~330 massive (M* > 10^9.5 MSun), newborn spheroidal galaxies (SGs) around the epoch of peak star formation (1<z<3), to explore the high-redshift origin of SGs and gain ins…
CANDELS: Constraining the AGN-Merger Connection with Host Morphologies at z~2
Dale D. Kocevski, S. M. Faber, Mark Mozena +35
Using HST/WFC3 imaging taken as part of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), we examine the role that major galaxy mergers play in triggeri…
