The Evolution of the Stellar Mass Function of Galaxies from z=4.0 and the First Comprehensive Analysis of its Uncertainties: Evidence for Mass-dependent Evolution
Danilo Marchesini, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Natascha M. Forster Schreiber +3
[Abridged] We present the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) of galaxies from z=4.0 to z=1.3 measured from a sample constructed from the deep NIR MUSYC, the FIRES, and th…
Detection of quiescent galaxies in a bicolor sequence from z=0-2
Rik J. Williams, Ryan F. Quadri, Marijn Franx +2
We investigate the properties of quiescent and star-forming galaxy populations to z~2 with purely photometric data, employing a novel rest-frame color selection technique. From the…
SPACE: the SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer
A. Cimatti, M. Robberto, C. M. Baugh +18
We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Visio…
The Detection of a Red Sequence of Massive Field Galaxies at z~2.3 and its Evolution to z~0
Mariska Kriek, Arjen van der Wel, Pieter G. van Dokkum +2
The existence of massive galaxies with strongly suppressed star formation at z~2.3, identified in a previous paper, suggests that a red sequence may already be in place beyond z=2.…
Confirmation of the remarkable compactness of massive quiescent galaxies at z~2.3: early-type galaxies did not form in a simple monolithic collapse
Pieter van Dokkum, Marijn Franx, Mariska Kriek +9
Using deep near-infrared spectroscopy Kriek et al. (2006) found that ~45% of massive galaxies at z~2.3 have evolved stellar populations and little or no ongoing star formation. Her…
HST and Spitzer imaging of red and blue galaxies at z~2.5: A correlation between size and star formation activity from compact quiescent galaxies to extended star forming galaxies
S. Toft, P. van Dokkum, M. Franx +13
We present HST NICMOS+ACS and Spitzer IRAC+MIPS observations of 41 galaxies at 2<z<3.5 in the FIRES MS1054 field with red and blue rest-frame optical colors. About half of the gala…
Clustering of K-selected Galaxies at 2<z<3.5: Evidence for a Color-Density Relation
Ryan Quadri, Pieter van Dokkum, Eric Gawiser +9
We study the clustering properties of K-selected galaxies at 2<z<3.5 using deep multiwavelength imaging in three fields from the MUSYC survey. These are the first measurements to p…
The Space Density and Colors of Massive Galaxies at 2<z<3: the Predominance of Distant Red Galaxies
P. van Dokkum, R. Quadri, D. Marchesini +16
Using the deep multi-wavelength MUSYC, GOODS, and FIRES surveys we construct a stellar mass-limited sample of galaxies at 2<z<3. The sample comprises 294 galaxies with M>10^11 Sola…
An Overdensity of Galaxies near the Most Distant Radio-Loud Quasar
W. Zheng, R. Overzier, R. J. Bouwens +41
A five square arcminute region around the luminous radio-loud quasar SDSS J0836+0054 (z=5.8) hosts a wealth of associated galaxies, characterized by very red (1.3 < i_775 - z_{850}…
Constraints on z~10 Galaxies from the Deepest HST NICMOS Fields
Rychard J. Bouwens, Garth D. Illingworth, Rodger I. Thompson +1
We use all available fields with deep NICMOS imaging to search for J dropouts (H<28) at z~10. Our primary data set for this search were the two J+H NICMOS parallel fields taken wit…
Internal Color Properties of Resolved Spheroids in the Deep HST/ACS field of UGC 10214
F. Menanteau, H. C. Ford, G. D. Illingworth +30
(Abridged) We study the internal color properties of a morphologically selected sample of spheroidal galaxies taken from HST/ACS ERO program of UGC 10214 (``The Tadpole''). By taki…
A Significant Population of Red, Near-IR Selected High Redshift Galaxies
Marijn Franx, Ivo Labbe, Gregory Rudnick +9
We use very deep near-infrared photometry of the Hubble Deep Field South taken with ISAAC/VLT to identify a population of high redshift galaxies with rest- frame optical colors sim…
Scientific Potential of Enhancing the Integral-Field Spectrometer SPIFFI with a Large Detector and High Spectral Resolution
F. Eisenhauer, P. van der Werf, N. Thatte +4
SPIFFI is the near-infrared integral-field spectrometer for the VLT. Assisted by the SINFONI adaptive optics module, the instrument will be offered to the astronomical community in…
