The Progenitors of the Compact Early-Type Galaxies at High-Redshift

Christina C. Williams, Mauro Giavalisco, Paolo Cassata +19

We use GOODS and CANDELS images to identify progenitors of massive (log M > 10 Msun) compact "early-type" galaxies (ETGs) at z~1.6. Since merging and accretion increase the size of…

The evolution of the AGN content in groups up to z~1

L. Pentericci, M. Castellano, N. Menci +6

Determining the AGN content in structures of different mass/velocity dispersion and comparing them to higher mass/lower redshift analogs is important to understand how the AGN form…

The evolving slope of the stellar mass function at 0.6 <= z < 4.5 from deep WFC3 data

P. Santini, A. Fontana, A. Grazian +12

We used Early Release Science (ERS) observations taken with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) in the GOODS-S field to study the galaxy stellar mass function (GSMF) at 0.6<=z<4.5. Deep…

Rest-frame UV--Optically Selected Galaxies at 2.3<z<3.5: Searching for Dusty Star-forming and Passively-Evolving Galaxies

Yicheng Guo, Mauro Giavalisco, Paolo Cassata +17

A new set of color selection criteria (VJL) analogous with the BzK method is designed to select both star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and passively-evolving galaxies (PEGs) at 2.3<z<3.…

The relative abundance of compact and normal massive early-type galaxies and its evolution from redshift z~2 to the present

P. Cassata, M. Giavalisco, Yicheng Guo +11

We report on the evolution of the number density and size of early-type galaxies from z~2 to z~0. We select a sample of 563 massive (M>10^{10} Msun), passively evolving (SSFR<10^{-…

Discovery Of Cold, Pristine Gas Possibly Accreting Onto An Overdensity Of Star-Forming Galaxies At Redshift z ~ 1.6

Mauro Giavalisco, Eros Vanzella, Sara Salimbeni +12

We report the discovery of large amounts of cold (T ~ 10^4 K), chemically young gas in an overdensity of galaxies at redshift z ~ 1.6 in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey…
