VANDELS is a uniquely-deep spectroscopic survey of high-redshift galaxies with the VIMOS spectrograph on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). The survey has obtained ultra-deep optica…
On the faint-end of the galaxy luminosity function in the Epoch of Reionization: updated constraints from the HST Frontier Fields
B. Yue, M. Castellano, A. Ferrara +12
Ultra-faint galaxies are hosted by small dark matter halos with shallow gravitational potential wells, hence their star formation activity is more sensitive to feedback effects. Th…

The Evolution of Galaxy Number Density at z < 8 and its Implications
Christopher J. Conselice, Aaron Wilkinson, Kenneth Duncan +1
The evolution of the number density of galaxies in the universe, and thus also the total number of galaxies, is a fundamental question with implications for a host of astrophysical…
The Formation of Bulges, Discs and Two Component Galaxies in the CANDELS Survey at z < 3
Berta Margalef-Bentabol, Christopher J. Conselice, Alice Mortlock +6
We examine a sample of 1495 galaxies in the CANDELS fields to determine the evolution of two component galaxies, including bulges and discs, within massive galaxies at the epoch 1…
The Evolution of Galaxies at Constant Number Density: A Less Biased View of Star Formation, Quenching, and Structural Formation
Jamie R. Ownsworth, Christopher J. Conselice, Carl J. Mundy +4
Due to significant galaxy contamination and impurity in stellar mass selected samples (up to 95% from z=0-3), we examine the star formation history, quenching time-scales, and stru…
The SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey: The clustering of submillimetre galaxies in the UKIDSS UDS field
Aaron Wilkinson, Omar Almaini, Chian-Chou Chen +20
Submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) are among the most luminous dusty galaxies in the Universe, but their true nature remains unclear; are SMGs the progenitors of the massive elliptical…
