Fossil Groups Origins III. Characterization of the sample and observational properties of fossil systems
S. Zarattini, R. Barrena, M. Girardi +15
(Abridged) Fossil systems are group- or cluster-sized objects whose luminosity is dominated by a very massive central galaxy. In the current cold dark matter scenario, these object…

M. Girardi, J. A. L. Aguerri, S. De Grandi +11

The suppression of star formation by powerful active galactic nuclei
M. J. Page, M. Symeonidis, J. D. Vieira +75
The old, red stars which constitute the bulges of galaxies, and the massive black holes at their centres, are the relics of a period in cosmic history when galaxies formed stars at…
The age of extremely red and massive galaxies at very high redshift
N. Castro-Rodriguez, M. Lopez-Corredoira
Aims. We present a determination of the intrinsic colors and ages of galaxies at very high redshift, in particular old galaxies (OGs) within extremely red objects (EROs). To date,…
Fossil groups origins II. Unveiling the formation of the brightest group galaxies through their scaling relations
J. Mendez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, R. Barrena +11
(Abridged) Fossil systems are galaxy associations dominated by a relatively isolated, bright elliptical galaxy, surrounded by a group of smaller galaxies lacking L* objects. We ana…
The Herschel Multi-Tiered Extragalactic Survey: SPIRE-mm Photometric Redshifts
I. G. Roseboom, R. J. Ivison, T. R. Greve +78
We investigate the potential of submm-mm and submm-mm-radio photometric redshifts using a sample of mm-selected sources as seen at 250, 350 and 500 μm by the SPIRE instrument on He…
Fossil Groups Origins: I. RX J105453.3+552102 a very massive and relaxed system at z~0.5
J. A. L. Aguerri, M. Girardi, W. Boschin +11
The most accepted scenario for the origin of fossil groups (FGs) is that they are galaxy associations in which the merging rate was fast and efficient. These systems have assembled…
Sub-millimetre galaxies reside in dark matter halos with masses greater than 3x10^11 solar masses
Alexandre Amblard, Asantha Cooray, Paolo Serra +71
The extragalactic background light at far-infrared wavelengths originates from optically-faint, dusty, star-forming galaxies in the universe with star-formation rates at the level…
HerMES : SPIRE detection of high redshift massive compact galaxies in GOODS-N field

We have analysed the rest-frame far infrared (FIR) properties of a sample of massive (Mstar > 10^11Msun) galaxies at 2<z<3 in the GOODS (Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey) No…
On the origin of M81 group extended dust emission
J. I. Davies, C. D. Wilson, R. Auld +57
Galactic cirrus emission at far-infrared wavelengths affects many extragalactic observations. Separating this emission from that associated with extragalactic objects is both impor…
HerMES: Deep Galaxy Number Counts from a P(D) Fluctuation Analysis of SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase Observations
J. Glenn, A. Conley, M. Bethermin +71
Dusty, star forming galaxies contribute to a bright, currently unresolved cosmic far-infrared background. Deep Herschel-SPIRE images designed to detect and characterize the galaxie…
