The LEGA-C of nature and nurture in stellar populations of galaxies at z~0.6-1.0: D4000 and H-delta reveal different assembly histories for quiescent galaxies in different environments
David Sobral, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +11
Galaxy evolution is driven by a variety of physical processes which are predicted to proceed at different rates for different dark matter haloes and environments across cosmic time…
SQuIGGLE: Studying Quenching in Intermediate-z Galaxies -- Gas, AnguLar Momentum, and Evolution
Katherine A. Suess, Mariska Kriek, Rachel Bezanson +12
We describe the SQuIGGLE survey of intermediate-redshift post-starburst galaxies. We leverage the large sky coverage of the SDSS to select ~1300 recently-quenched galaxies at 0.5<z…
Now you see it, now you don't: Star formation truncation precedes the loss of molecular gas by ~100 Myr in massive post-starburst galaxies at z~0.6
Rachel Bezanson, Justin S. Spilker, Katherine A. Suess +6
We use ALMA observations of CO(2-1) in 13 massive () post-starburst galaxies at to constrain the molecular gas content in galaxies sh…
Diagnosing DASH: A Catalog of Structural Properties for the COSMOS-DASH Survey
Sam E. Cutler, Katherine E. Whitaker, Lamiya A. Mowla +16
We present the morphological catalogs for the COSMOS-DASH survey, the largest area near-IR survey using HST-WFC3 to date. Utilizing the "Drift And SHift" observing techni…
High Molecular-Gas to Dust Mass Ratios Predicted in Most Quiescent Galaxies
Katherine E. Whitaker, Desika Narayanan, Christina C. Williams +15
Observations of cold molecular gas reservoirs are critical for understanding the shutdown of star formation in massive galaxies. While dust continuum is an efficient and affordable…
Ubiquitous [OII] Emission in Quiescent Galaxies at z ~ 0.85
Michael V. Maseda, Arjen van der Wel, Marijn Franx +12
Using deep rest-frame optical spectroscopy from the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysical Census (LEGA-C) survey, conducted using VIMOS on the ESO Very Large Telescope, we systematicall…
Towards precise galaxy evolution: a comparison between spectral indices of galaxies in the IllustrisTNG simulation and the LEGA-C survey
Po-Feng Wu, Dylan Nelson, Arjen van der Wel +13
We present the first comparison of observed stellar continuum spectra of high-redshift galaxies and mock galaxy spectra generated from hydrodynamical simulations. The mock spectra…
Quenching of star formation from a lack of inflowing gas to galaxies
Katherine E. Whitaker, Christina C. Williams, Lamiya Mowla +16
Star formation in half of massive galaxies was quenched by the time the Universe was three billion years old. Very low amounts of molecular gas appear responsible for this, at leas…
Stellar Dynamical Models for 797 Galaxies from LEGA-C
Josha van Houdt, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +12
We present spatially resolved stellar kinematics for 797 galaxies selected from the LEGA-C survey and construct axisymmetric Jeans models to quantify their dynamical mass…
The Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C) Data Release 3: 3000 High-Quality Spectra of -selected galaxies at
Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson, Francesco D'Eugenio +19
We present the third and final data release of the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C), an ESO/VLT public spectroscopic survey targeting , Ks-selected ga…
The LEGA-C and SAMI Galaxy Surveys: Quiescent Stellar Populations and the Mass-Size Plane across 6 Gyr
Tania M. Barone, Francesco D'Eugenio, Nicholas Scott +22
We investigate the change in mean stellar population age and metallicity ([Z/H]) scaling relations for quiescent galaxies from intermediate redshift () using th…
Elemental Abundances and Ages of Quiescent Galaxies on the Mass-Size Plane: Implication for Chemical Enrichment and Star-Formation Quenching
Aliza G. Beverage, Mariska Kriek, Charlie Conroy +3
We present elemental abundances and stellar population ages for 68 massive quiescent galaxies at from the LEGA-C survey. The abundance patterns and ages, deriv…
Quenching and the UVJ diagram in the SIMBA cosmological simulation
Hollis B. Akins, Desika Narayanan, Katherine E. Whitaker +5
Over the past decade, rest-frame color-color diagrams have become popular tools for selecting quiescent galaxies at high redshift, breaking the color degeneracy between quiescent a…
The Fundamental Plane in the LEGA-C Survey: unraveling the variations of massive star-forming and quiescent galaxies at
Anna de Graaff, Rachel Bezanson, Marijn Franx +10
We explore the connection between the kinematics, structures and stellar populations of massive galaxies at using the Fundamental Plane (FP). Combining stellar kinemati…
