An HI view of the on-going assembly of early-type galaxies: present and future observations

P. Serra, R. Morganti, T. A. Oosterloo +24

We present a preliminary analysis of the HI properties of early-type galaxies in the ATLAS3D sample. Using WSRT data for ~100 galaxies outside the Virgo cluster and data from the A…

Composite star formation histories of early-type galaxies from minor mergers: prospects for WFC3

S. Peirani, R. M. Crockett, S. Geen +3

The star formation history of nearby early-type galaxies is investigated via numerical modelling. Idealized hydrodynamical N-body simulations with a star formation prescription are…

Scaling relations in early-type galaxies from integral-field stellar kinematics

M. Cappellari, N. Scott, K. Alatalo +22

We study the origin of the scaling relations of early-type galaxies (ETGs) by constructing detailed models of the stellar dynamics for the K-band selected, volume-limited ATLAS3D s…

High-Redshift Star-Forming Galaxies: Angular Momentum and Baryon Fraction, Turbulent Pressure Effects and the Origin of Turbulence

A. Burkert, R. Genzel, N. Bouche +13

The structure of a sample of high-redshift (z=2), rotating galaxies with high star formation rates and turbulent gas velocities of sigma=40-80 km/s is investigated. Fitting the obs…

Mergers and Bulge Formation in Lambda-CDM: Which Mergers Matter?

Philip F. Hopkins, Kevin Bundy, Darren Croton +6

We use a suite of semi-empirical models to predict galaxy merger rates and contributions to bulge growth as functions of merger mass, redshift, and mass ratio. The models use empir…

Simulation of the Cosmic Evolution of Atomic and Molecular Hydrogen in Galaxies

D. Obreschkow, D. Croton, G. De Lucia +2

We present a simulation of the cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular phases of the cold hydrogen gas in about 3e7 galaxies, obtained by post-processing the virtual galaxy ca…
