The Growth of Massive Galaxies Since z=2
Pieter G. van Dokkum, Katherine E. Whitaker, Gabriel Brammer +11
We study the growth of massive galaxies from z=2 to the present using data from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey. The sample is selected at a constant number density of n=2x10^-4 Mpc…
Searching for a Gravitational Heating Signature in Nearby Luminous Ellipticals
Tomer Tal, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Jeffrey D. P. Kenney
We present a new deep optical study of a luminosity limited sample of nearby elliptical galaxies, attempting to observe the effects of gravitational interactions on the ISM of thes…
The Frequency of Tidal Features Associated with Nearby Luminous Elliptical Galaxies from a Statistically Complete Sample
Tomer Tal, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Jenica Nelan +1
We present a deep broadband optical imaging study of a complete sample of luminous elliptical galaxies (M_B<-20) at distances 15 Mpc - 50 Mpc, selected from the Tully catalog of ne…
