Towards Unbreaking the Universe: MINERVA Measurements of Color Gradients in Massive Quiescent Galaxies Can Help Ease Too-Early Star Formation Tensions

Sam E. Cutler, Luke Robbins, Danilo Marchesini +41

The discovery of a population of massive, ancient quiescent galaxies within the first 2 Gyr of the Universe's history has led to significant tensions with models of galaxy formatio…

A Possible Protocluster of Galaxies Serendipitously Discovered in the Field of an Intermediate-Redshift Post-starburst Galaxy

Mary C. Knowlton, Justin S. Spilker, Rachel Bezanson +4

We present the serendipitous discovery of an overdensity of submillimeter galaxies (SMGs) in the field of SDSSJ0909-0108, a massive z~0.7 post-starburst galaxy from the SQuIGGLE su…

Winding Back the Clock: Recent Star Formation Histories of Massive Quiescent Galaxies Are Consistent With Their Rapid Number Density Evolution Since

Yunchong Zhang, Zhiyuan Ji, Rachel Bezanson +17

Massive quiescent galaxies have been identified out to in early JWST data in a substantial excess ( at ) of number densities from most theoretical…

Discovery of Ancient Globular Cluster Candidates in the Relic, a Quiescent Galaxy at

Katherine E. Whitaker, Sam E. Cutler, Rupali Chandar +31

Globular clusters (GCs) are some of the oldest bound structures in the Universe, holding clues to the earliest epochs of star formation and galaxy assembly. However, accurate age m…

Everything Every Band All at Once II: The Relationship Between Optical Size and Stellar Mass Over Eight Billion Years of Cosmic History

Tim B. Miller, Yunchong Zhang, Sedona H. Price +24

While the size-mass relation provides insight into the structural evolution of galaxies, the data available and methods employed have hindered our ability to study a detailed and c…

JADES: Rest-frame UV-to-NIR Size Evolution of Massive Quiescent Galaxies from Redshift z=5 to z=0.5

Zhiyuan Ji, Christina C. Williams, Katherine A. Suess +37

We present the UV-to-NIR size evolution of a sample of 161 quiescent galaxies (QGs) with over . With deep multi-band NIRCam images in GOODS-South from…
