The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Clustering of Quasars and Galaxies at z=1

Alison L. Coil, Joseph F. Hennawi, Jeffrey A. Newman +2

We present the clustering of DEEP2 galaxies at 0.7<z<1.4 around quasars identified using both the SDSS and DEEP2 surveys. We measure the two-point cross-correlation of a sample of…

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Clustering of Galaxies as a Function of Luminosity at z=1

Alison L. Coil, Jeffrey A. Newman, Michael C. Cooper +4

We measure the clustering of DEEP2 galaxies at z=1 as a function of luminosity on scales 0.1 Mpc/h to 20 Mpc/h. Drawing from a parent catalog of 25,000 galaxies at 0.7<z<1.3 in the…

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Galaxy Luminosity Function to z ~ 1

C. N. A. Willmer, S. M. Faber, D. C. Koo +20

The evolution of the B-band galaxy luminosity function is measured using a sample of more than 11,000 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. The rest…

The Centers of Early-Type Galaxies with HST. V. New WFPC2 Photometry

Tod R. Lauer, S. M. Faber, Karl Gebhardt +14

We analyze HST+WFPC2 images of 77 early-type galaxies. Brightness profiles are classed into "core" or "power-law" forms. Cores are typically rounder than power-law galaxies. Nearly…

The Team Keck Treasury Redshift Survey of the GOODS-North Field

Gregory D. Wirth, Christopher N. A. Willmer, Paola Amico +19

We report the results of an extensive imaging and spectroscopic survey in the GOODS-North field completed using DEIMOS on the Keck II telescope. Observations of 2018 targets in a m…

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Spectral classification of galaxies at z~1

Darren S. Madgwick, Alison L. Coil, Christopher J. Conselice +15

We present a Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-based spectral classification, eta, for the first 5600 galaxies observed in the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. This parameter provides a ver…

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Clustering of Galaxies in Early Data

Alison L. Coil, Marc Davis, Darren S. Madgwick +14

We measure the two-point correlation function xi(r) using a sample of 2219 galaxies in an area of 0.32 degrees^2 at z=0.7-1.35 from the first season of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Su…

Axisymmetric Dynamical Models of the Central Regions of Galaxies

Karl Gebhardt, Douglas Richstone, Scott Tremaine +12

We present axisymmetric, orbit superposition models for 12 galaxies using data taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and ground-based observatories. In each galaxy, we detect…

The DEEP Groth Strip Survey X: Number Density and Luminosity Function of Field E/S0 Galaxies at z < 1

Myungshin Im, L. Simard, S. M. Faber +7

We present the luminosity function and color-redshift relation of a magnitude-limited sample of 145 mostly red field E/S0 galaxies at z < 1 from the DEEP Groth Strip Survey (GSS).…

Black Hole Mass Estimates from Reverberation Mapping and from Spatially Resolved Kinematics

Karl Gebhardt, John Kormendy, Luis Ho +12

Black hole (BH) masses that have been measured by reverberation mapping in active galaxies fall significantly below the correlation between bulge luminosity and BH mass determined…

The Stellar Population Histories of Early-Type Galaxies. II. Controlling Parameters of the Stellar Populations

S. C. Trager, S. M. Faber, G. Worthey +1

We analyze single-stellar-population (SSP) equivalent parameters for 50 local elliptical galaxies as a function of their structural parameters. These galaxies fill a two-dimensiona…

Axisymmetric, 3-Integral Models of Galaxies: A Massive Black Hole in NGC3379

Karl Gebhardt, Douglas Richstone, John Kormendy +8

We fit axisymmetric 3-integral dynamical models to NGC3379 using the line-of-sight velocity distribution obtained from HST/FOS spectra of the galaxy center and ground-based long-sl…

Young galaxies: what turns them on?

Tsafrir S. Kolatt, James S. Bullock, Rachel S. Somerville +8

Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at exhibit number densities and clustering similar to local galaxies; however, their star formation rates (SFRs) are much higher. We ex…

The nature of Lyman-break galaxies

Joel R. Primack, Rachel S. Somerville, S. M Faber +1

Using semi-analytic models of galaxy formation, we investigate the properties of galaxies and compare them with the observed population of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). In…

The Nature of High-Redshift Galaxies

Rachel S. Somerville, Joel R. Primack, S. M. Faber

This paper has been withdrawn because the models on which it was based have undergone significant changes and improvements. A new paper with the same title, based on the improved m…
