The Local Group as a time machine: studying the high-redshift Universe with nearby galaxies
Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Daniel R. Weisz, Benjamin D. Johnson +3
We infer the UV luminosities of Local Group galaxies at early cosmic times ( and ) by combining stellar population synthesis modeling with star formation histor…
Comparing Simple Quasar Demographics Models
Melanie Veale, Martin White, Charlie Conroy
This paper explores several simple model variations for the connections among quasars, galaxies, and dark matter halos for redshifts 1 < z < 6. A key component of these models is t…
Exploring the chemical link between local ellipticals and their high-redshift progenitors
Joel Leja, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Ivelina Momcheva +12
We present Keck/MOSFIRE K-band spectroscopy of the first mass-selected sample of galaxies at . Targets are selected from the 3D-HST Treasury survey. The six detected gala…
Direct measurements of dust attenuation in z~1.5 star-forming galaxies from 3D-HST: Implications for dust geometry and star formation rates
Sedona H. Price, Mariska Kriek, Gabriel B. Brammer +11
The nature of dust in distant galaxies is not well understood, and until recently few direct dust measurements have been possible. We investigate dust in distant star-forming galax…
The Dust Attenuation Law in Distant Galaxies: Evidence for Variation with Spectral Type
Mariska Kriek, Charlie Conroy
This letter utilizes composite spectral energy distributions (SEDs) constructed from NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey photometry to constrain the dust attenuation curve in 0.5<z<2.0 gala…
The Densest Galaxy
Jay Strader, Anil Seth, Duncan Forbes +8
We report the discovery of a remarkable ultra-compact dwarf galaxy around the massive Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4649 (M60), which we term M60-UCD1. With a dynamical mass of 2.0 x…
