Real or Interloper? The Redshift Likelihoods of z>8 Galaxies in the HUDF12

Nor Pirzkal, Barry Rothberg, Russell Ryan +4

In the absence of spectra, fitting template model spectra to observed photometric fluxes, known as Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) fitting, has become the workhorse for identify…

Unveiling The Sigma-Discrepancy II: Revisiting the Evolution of ULIRGs & The Origin of Quasars

Barry Rothberg, Jacqueline Fischer, Myriam Rodrigues +1

We present the first central velocity dispersions (sigma_o) measured from the 0.85 micron Calcium II Triplet (CaT) for 8 advanced (i.e. single nuclei) local (z < 0.15) Ultraluminou…

A decrease of the gas exchanges between galaxies and the IGM, from 12 to 6 billion years ago

M. Rodrigues, M. Puech, F. Hammer +2

Using a representative sample of 65 intermediate mass galaxies at z \sim 0.6, we have inves- tigated the interplay between the main ingredients of chemical evolution: metal abundan…

Unveiling the Sigma-Discrepancy in IR-Luminous Mergers I: Dust & Dynamics

Barry Rothberg, Jacqueline Fischer

Mergers in the local universe present a unique opportunity for studying the transformations of galaxies in detail. Presented here are recent results, based on multi-wavelength, hig…

The Impact of Stellar Populations on the Dynamics of Merger Remnants

B. Rothberg, J. Fischer

Many studies and simulations suggest gas-rich mergers do not contribute significantly to the overall star-formation rate and total mass function of galaxies. The velocity dispersio…

Further Definition of the Mass-Metallicity Relation in Globular Cluster Systems Around Brightest Cluster Galaxies

Robert Cockcroft, William E. Harris, Elizabeth M. H. Wehner +2

We combine the globular cluster data for fifteen Brightest Cluster Galaxies and use this material to trace the mass-metallicity relations (MMR) in their globular cluster systems (G…
