The Growth of Massive Galaxies Since z=2
Pieter G. van Dokkum, Katherine E. Whitaker, Gabriel Brammer +11
We study the growth of massive galaxies from z=2 to the present using data from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey. The sample is selected at a constant number density of n=2x10^-4 Mpc…
Quantifying Photometric Redshift Errors in the Absence of Spectroscopic Redshifts
Ryan F. Quadri, Rik J. Williams
Much of the science that is made possible by multiwavelength redshift surveys requires the use of photometric redshifts. But as these surveys become more ambitious, and as we seek…
The evolving relations between size, mass, surface density, and star formation in 3x10^4 galaxies since z=2
Rik J. Williams, Ryan F. Quadri, Marijn Franx +4
The presence of massive, compact, quiescent galaxies at z>2 presents a major challenge for theoretical models of galaxy formation and evolution. Using one of the deepest large publ…
An ultra-deep near-infrared spectrum of a compact quiescent galaxy at z=2.2
Mariska Kriek, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Ivo Labbe +4
Several recent studies have shown that about half of the massive galaxies at z~2 are in a quiescent phase. Moreover, these galaxies are commonly found to be ultra-compact with half…
A Public, K-Selected, Optical-to-Near-Infrared Catalog of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS) from the MUltiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC)
Edward N Taylor, Marijn Franx, Pieter G van Dokkum +20
We present a new K-selected, optical-to-near-infrared photometric catalog of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS), making it publicly available to the astronomical communi…
The NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey: Filter Definitions and First Results
Pieter G. van Dokkum, Ivo Labbe, Danilo Marchesini +9
Deep near-infrared imaging surveys allow us to select and study distant galaxies in the rest-frame optical, and have transformed our understanding of the early Universe. As the vas…
