The Star Formation Histories of Disk Galaxies: the Live, the Dead, and the Undead
Augustus Oemler, Louis E. Abramson, Michael D. Gladders +3
We reexamine the systematic properties of local galaxy populations, using published surveys of star formation, structure, and gas content. After recalibrating star formation measur…
Demonstrating Diversity in Star Formation Histories with the CSI Survey
Alan Dressler, Daniel D. Kelson, Louis E. Abramson +8
We present coarse but robust star formation histories (SFHs) derived from spectro-photometric data of the Carnegie-Spitzer-IMACS Survey, for 22,494 galaxies at 0.3<z<0.9 with stell…
Return to [Log-]Normalcy: Rethinking Quenching, The Star Formation Main Sequence, and Perhaps Much More
Louis E. Abramson, Michael D. Gladders, Alan Dressler +3
Knowledge of galaxy evolution rests on cross-sectional observations of different objects at different times. Understanding of galaxy evolution rests on longitudinal interpretations…
Matching the Evolution of the Stellar Mass Function Using Log-normal Star Formation Histories
Louis E. Abramson, Michael D. Gladders, Alan Dressler +3
We show that a model consisting of individual, log-normal star formation histories for a volume-limited sample of galaxies reproduces the evolution of the total and qui…
The Mass-Independence of Specific Star Formation Rates in Galactic Disks
Louis E. Abramson, Daniel D. Kelson, Alan Dressler +4
The slope of the star formation rate/stellar mass relation (the SFR "Main Sequence"; ) is not quite unity: specific star formation rates are weakly…
