Tight Correlations Between Massive Galaxy Structural Properties and Dynamics: The Mass Fundamental Plane Was in Place by z~2
Rachel Bezanson, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Jesse van de Sande +3
The Fundamental Plane (FP) is an empirical relation between the size, surface brightness, and velocity dispersion of early-type galaxies. This relation has been studied extensively…
Stellar Kinematics of z~2 Galaxies and the Inside-Out Growth of Quiescent Galaxies
Jesse van de Sande, Mariska Kriek, Marijn Franx +6
Using stellar kinematics measurements, we investigate the growth of massive, quiescent galaxies from z~2 to today. We present X-Shooter spectra from the UV to NIR and dynamical mas…
A Strongly-Lensed Massive Ultra-Compact Quiescent Galaxy at z ~ 2.4 in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA Field
Adam Muzzin, Ivo Labbe, Marijn Franx +14
We report the discovery of a massive ultra-compact quiescent galaxy that has been strongly-lensed into multiple images by a foreground galaxy at z = 0.960. This system was serendip…
Massive and Newly Dead: Discovery of a Significant Population of Galaxies with High Velocity Dispersions and Strong Balmer Lines at z~1.5 from Deep Keck Spectra and HST/WFC3 Imaging
Rachel Bezanson, Pieter van Dokkum, Jesse van de Sande +2
We present deep Keck/LRIS spectroscopy and HST/WFC3 imaging in the rest-frame optical for a sample of eight galaxies at z~1.5 with high photometrically-determined stellar masses. T…
Redshift Evolution of the Galaxy Velocity Dispersion Function
Rachel Bezanson, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Marijn Franx +9
We present a study of the evolution of the galaxy Velocity Dispersion Function (VDF) from z=0 to z=1.5 using photometric data from the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) and Newfirm Me…
The stellar velocity dispersion of a compact massive galaxy at z=1.80 using X-Shooter: confirmation of the evolution in the mass-size and mass-dispersion relations
Jesse van de Sande, Mariska Kriek, Marijn Franx +7
Recent photometric studies have shown that early-type galaxies at fixed stellar mass were smaller and denser at earlier times. In this paper we assess that finding by deriving the…
