Eddington's Demon: Inferring Galaxy Mass Functions and other Distributions from Uncertain Data
Danail Obreschkow, Steven G. Murray, Aaron S. G. Robotham +1
We present a general modified maximum likelihood (MML) method for inferring generative distribution functions from uncertain and biased data. The MML estimator is identical to, but…
GAMA/H-ATLAS: The Local Dust Mass Function and Cosmic Density as a Function of Galaxy Type - A Benchmark for Models of Galaxy Evolution
R. A. Beeston, A. H. Wright, S. Maddox +22
We present the dust mass function (DMF) of 15,750 galaxies with redshift , drawn from the overlapping area of the GAMA and {\it H-}ATLAS surveys. The DMF is derived using t…
Using Velocity Dispersion to Estimate Halo Mass: Is the Local Group in Tension with CDM?
Pascal J. Elahi, Chris Power, Claudia del P. Lagos +2
Satellite galaxies are commonly used as tracers to measure the line-of-sight velocity dispersion () of the dark matter halo associated with their central galaxy, and t…
Modelling the cosmic spectral energy distribution and extragalactic background light over all time
Stephen K. Andrews, Simon P. Driver, Luke J. Davies +2
We present a phenomological model of the Cosmic Spectral Energy Distribution (CSED) and the integrated galactic light (IGL) over all cosmic time. This model, based on an earlier mo…
The New Galaxy Evolution Paradigm Revealed by the Herschel Surveys
Stephen Eales, Dan Smith, Nathan Bourne +22
The Herschel Space Observatory has revealed a very different galaxyscape from that shown by optical surveys which presents a challenge for galaxy-evolution models. The Herschel sur…
GAMA/G10-COSMOS/3D-HST: The 0<z<5 cosmic star-formation history, stellar- and dust-mass densities
Simon P. Driver, Stephen K. Andrews, Elisabete da Cunha +30
We use the energy-balance code MAGPHYS to determine stellar and dust masses, and dust corrected star-formation rates for over 200,000 GAMA galaxies, 170,000 G10-COSMOS galaxies and…
The XXL Survey: XXII. The XXL-North spectrophotometric sample and galaxy stellar mass function in X-ray detected groups and clusters
V. Guglielmo, B. M. Poggianti, B. Vulcani +42
The fraction of galaxies bound in groups in the nearby Universe is high (50% at z~0). Systematic studies of galaxy properties in groups are important in order to improve our unders…
Self-consistent bulge/disk/halo galaxy dynamical modeling using integral field kinematics
D. S. Taranu, D. Obreschkow, J. J. Dubinski +26
We introduce a method for modeling disk galaxies designed to take full advantage of data from integral field spectroscopy (IFS). The method fits equilibrium models to simultaneousl…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Global stellar populations on the size-mass plane
Nicholas Scott, S. Brough, Scott M. Croom +20
We present an analysis of the global stellar populations of galaxies in the SAMI Galaxy Survey. Our sample consists of 1319 galaxies spanning four orders of magnitude in stellar ma…
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope Galaxies Science Roadmap
Brant E. Robertson, Manda Banerji, Michael C. Cooper +47
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will enable revolutionary studies of galaxies, dark matter, and black holes over cosmic time. The LSST Galaxies Science Collaboration has…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: Data Release One with Emission-line Physics Value-Added Products
Andrew W. Green, Scott M. Croom, Nicholas Scott +48
We present the first major release of data from the SAMI Galaxy Survey. This data release focuses on the emission-line physics of galaxies. Data Release One includes data for 772 g…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly: search for a population of high-entropy galaxy groups
Richard J. Pearson, Trevor J. Ponman, Peder Norberg +7
Observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory are used to examine the hot gas properties within a sample of 10 galaxy groups selected from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey's o…
Galactic googly: the rotation-metallicity bias in the inner stellar halo of the Milky Way
Prajwal R. Kafle, Sanjib Sharma, Aaron S. G. Robotham +4
The first and second moments of stellar velocities encode important information about the formation history of the Galactic halo. However, due to the lack of tangential motion and…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly: the evolution of the cosmic spectral energy distribution from z = 1 to z = 0
Stephen K. Andrews, Simon P. Driver, Luke J. M. Davies +15
We present the evolution of the Cosmic Spectral Energy Distribution (CSED) from . Our CSEDs originate from stacking individual spectral energy distribution fits based on…
