Dark from light (DfL): Inferring halo properties from luminous tracers with machine learning trained on cosmological simulations. I. Method, proof of concept & preliminary testing

Asa F. L. Bluck, Joanna M. Piotrowska, Paul Goubert +4

We present Dark from Light (DfL) - a novel method to infer the dark sector in wide-field galaxy surveys, leveraging a machine learning approach trained on contemporary cosmological…

The Dynamics of Galaxy Pairs in a Cosmological Setting

Jorge Moreno, Asa F. L. Bluck, Sara L. Ellison +3

We use the Millennium Simulation, and an abundance-matching framework, to investigate the dynamical behaviour of galaxy pairs embedded in a cosmological context. Our main galaxy-pa…

The Redshift and Mass Dependence on the Formation of The Hubble Sequence at z>1 from CANDELS/UDS

Alice Mortlock, Christopher J. Conselice, William G. Hartley +16

In this paper we present a detailed study of the structures and morphologies of a sample of 1188 massive galaxies with Mstar>10^10Msun between redshifts z=1-3 within the Ultra Deep…

Gas Accretion as a Dominant Formation Mode in Massive Galaxies from the GOODS NICMOS Survey

Christopher J. Conselice, Alice Mortlock, Asa F. L. Bluck +2

The ability to resolve all processes which drive galaxy formation is one of the most fundamental goals in extragalactic astronomy. While star formation rates and the merger history…

The structures and total (minor + major) merger histories of massive galaxies up to z = 3 in the HST GOODS NICMOS Survey: A possible solution to the size evolution problem

Asa F. L. Bluck, Christopher J. Conselice, Fernando Buitrago +4

We investigate the total major (> 1:4 by stellar mass) and minor (> 1:100 by stellar mass) merger history of a population of 80 massive (M_* > 10^11 M_sol) galaxies at high redshif…

The relationship between star formation rates, local density and stellar mass up to z ~ 3 in the GOODS NICMOS Survey

R. Gruetzbauch, C. J. Conselice, A. E. Bauer +6

We investigate the relation between star formation rates and local galaxy environment for a stellar mass selected galaxy sample in the redshift range 1.5 < z < 3. We use near-infra…
