Mixing Dirichlet Topic Models and Word Embeddings to Make lda2vec

Christopher E Moody

Distributed dense word vectors have been shown to be effective at capturing token-level semantic and syntactic regularities in language, while topic models can form interpretable r…

Diverse Structural Evolution at z > 1 in Cosmologically Simulated Galaxies

Gregory F. Snyder, Jennifer Lotz, Christopher Moody +5

From mock Hubble Space Telescope images, we quantify non-parametric statistics of galaxy morphology, thereby predicting the emergence of relationships among stellar mass, star form…

Simulating multiple merger pathways to the central kinematics of early-type galaxies

Christopher E. Moody, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Thomas J. Cox +2

Two-dimensional integral field surveys such as ATLAS^3D are producing rich observational data sets yielding insights into galaxy formation. These new kinematic observations have hi…

Star Formation and Clumps in Cosmological Galaxy Simulations with Radiation Pressure Feedback

Christopher E. Moody, Yicheng Guo, Nir Mandelker +5

Cosmological simulations of galaxies have typically produced too many stars at early times. We study the global and morphological effects of radiation pressure (RP) in eight pairs…

A Comparison between Semi-Analytic Model Predictions for the CANDELS Survey

Yu Lu, Risa H. Wechsler, Rachel S. Somerville +13

We compare the predictions of three independently developed semi-analytic galaxy formation models that are being used to aid in the interpretation of results from the CANDELS surve…

CANDELS+3D-HST: compact SFGs at z~2-3, the progenitors of the first quiescent galaxies

G. Barro, S. M. Faber, P. G. Perez-Gonzalez +32

We analyze the star-forming and structural properties of 45 massive (log(M/Msun)>10) compact star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at 2<z<3 to explore whether they are progenitors of compac…
