Exploring the chemical link between local ellipticals and their high-redshift progenitors
Joel Leja, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Ivelina Momcheva +12
We present Keck/MOSFIRE K-band spectroscopy of the first mass-selected sample of galaxies at . Targets are selected from the 3D-HST Treasury survey. The six detected gala…
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…
The velocity function of dark matter halos at r=20 kpc: Remarkably little evolution since z ~ 4
Simone M. Weinmann, Marijn Franx, Pieter van Dokkum +1
We investigate the evolution in the dark matter halo circular velocity function, measured at a fixed physical radius of 20 kpc (v_20), which is likely to be a good proxy for galaxy…
