Galaxy clusters in the VIDEO fields: detection and characterisation in the context of MOONRISE

Pierre Galois, Christophe Benoist, Gianluca Castignani +21

We analyse the cluster content of the XMM-LSS and CDFS VIDEO fields which are expected to be partially covered by the upcoming MOONRISE survey. Using AMI…

How to Measure Galaxy Star Formation Histories II: Nonparametric Models

Joel Leja, Adam C. Carnall, Benjamin D. Johnson +2

Nonparametric star formation histories (SFHs) have long promised to be the `gold standard' for galaxy spectral energy distribution (SED) modeling as they are flexible enough to des…

How to measure galaxy star-formation histories I: Parametric models

A. C. Carnall, J. Leja, B. D. Johnson +3

Parametric models for galaxy star-formation histories (SFHs) are widely used, though they are known to impose strong priors on physical parameters. This has consequences for measur…

The evolution of post-starburst galaxies from z=2 to z= 0.5

Vivienne Wild, Omar Almaini, Jim Dunlop +5

We present the evolution in the number density and stellar mass functions of photometrically selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSS Deep Survey (UDS), with redshifts of 0.5…

A mass threshold in the number density of passive galaxies at z2

V. Sommariva, A. Fontana, A. Lamastra +16

The process that quenched star formation in galaxies at intermediate and high redshift is still the subject of considerable debate. One way to investigate this puzzling issue is to…

No excess of bright galaxies around the redshift 7.1 quasar ULAS J1120+0641

Chris Simpson, Daniel Mortlock, Stephen Warren +5

We present optical and near-infrared imaging of the field of the z=7.0842 quasar ULAS J112001.48+064124.3 taken with the Hubble Space Telescope. We use these data to search for gal…

The Mass-Metallicity-SFR Relation at z >~ 2 with 3D-HST

F. Cullen, M. Cirasuolo, R. J. McLure +1

We present new accurate measurements of the physical properties of a statistically significant sample of 103 galaxies at z~2 using near-infrared spectroscopy taken as part of the 3…

High velocity outflows from young star-forming galaxies in the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey

E. J. Bradshaw, O. Almaini, W. G. Hartley +10

We investigate galactic-scale outflows in the redshift range 0.71 < z < 1.63, using 413 K-band selected galaxies observed in the spectroscopic follow-up of the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Su…

The properties of (sub)millimetre-selected galaxies as revealed by CANDELS HST WFC3/IR imaging in GOODS-South

T. A. Targett, J. S. Dunlop, M. Cirasuolo +16

We have exploited the HST CANDELS WFC3/IR imaging to study the properties of (sub-)mm galaxies in GOODS-South. After using the deep radio and Spitzer imaging to identify galaxy cou…

Galaxy Environments in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS)

R. W. Chuter, O. Almaini, W. G. Hartley +7

We present a study of galaxy environments to z~2, based on a sample of over 33,000 K-band selected galaxies detected in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). The combination of infra…

A near-infrared morphological comparison of high-redshift submm and radio galaxies: massive star-forming discs vs relaxed spheroids

T. A. Targett, J. S. Dunlop, R. J. McLure +3

We present deep, high-quality K-band images of complete subsamples of powerful radio and sub-mm galaxies at z=2. The data were obtained in the best available seeing at UKIRT and Ge…

Supermassive black holes in radio-loud AGN

R. J. McLure

In this review the correlations between host galaxy properties and black-hole mass determined from nearby quiescent galaxies are briefly discussed, before proceeding to investigate…

Coupled spheroid and black-hole formation, and the multifrequency detectability of active galactic nuclei and submillimetre sources

E. N. Archibald, J. S. Dunlop, R. Jimenez +3

We use a simple model of spheroid formation to explore the relationship between the creation of stars and dust in a massive proto galaxy and the growth of its central black hole. T…

A sample of 6C radio sources designed to find objects at redshift > 4: III --- imaging and the radio galaxy K-z relation

Matt J. Jarvis, Steve Rawlings, Steve Eales +5

In this paper, the third and final of a series, we present complete K-band imaging and some complementary I-band imaging of the filtered 6C* sample. We find no systematic differenc…
