The Formation of Massive, Compact Galaxies at z=2 in the Illustris Simulation
Sarah Wellons, Paul Torrey, Chung-Pei Ma +13
Massive, quiescent galaxies at high redshift have been found to be considerably more compact than galaxies of similar mass in the local universe. How these compact galaxies formed…
The KMOS^3D Survey: design, first results, and the evolution of galaxy kinematics from 0.7<z<2.7
E. Wisnioski, N. M. Förster Schreiber, S. Wuyts +24
We present the KMOS^3D survey, a new integral field survey of over 600 galaxies at 0.7<z<2.7 using KMOS at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The KMOS^3D survey utilizes synergies wit…
Constraining the Low-Mass Slope of the Star Formation Sequence at 0.5<z<2.5
Katherine E. Whitaker, Marijn Franx, Joel Leja +9
We constrain the slope of the star formation rate () to stellar mass () relation down to ($\log(\mathrm{M_{\…
A Consistent Study of Metallicity Evolution at 0.8 < z < 2.6
Eva Wuyts, Jaron Kurk, Natascha M. Förster Schreiber +33
We present the correlations between stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR) and [NII]/Ha flux ratio as indicator of gas-phase metallicity for a sample of 222 galaxies at 0.8 < z <…
A Massive Galaxy in its Core Formation Phase Three Billion Years After the Big Bang
Erica Nelson, Pieter van Dokkum, Marijn Franx +13
Most massive galaxies are thought to have formed their dense stellar cores at early cosmic epochs. However, cores in their formation phase have not yet been observed. Previous stud…
Dense cores in galaxies out to z=2.5 in SDSS, UltraVISTA, and the five 3D-HST/CANDELS fields
Pieter van Dokkum, Rachel Bezanson, Arjen van der Wel +15
The dense interiors of massive galaxies are among the most intriguing environments in the Universe. In this paper we ask when these dense cores were formed and determine how galaxi…
