Evolutionary paths among different red galaxy types at 0.3 < z < 1.5 and the late buildup of massive E-S0's through major mergers
Mercedes Prieto, M. Carmen Eliche-Moral, Marc Balcells +11
Some recent observations seem to disagree with hierarchical theories of galaxy formation about the role played by major mergers in the late buildup of massive E-S0's. We re-address…
The morphologies and masses of extremely red galaxies in the Groth Strip survey
Angela Hempel, David Cristóbal-Hornillos, Mercedes Prieto +6
We present a new cataloge of EROs from the Groth strip and study the relation between their morphology and mass. We find 102 EROs (F814W-K=>4, K<=21.0), over a survey area of 155 a…
Robust determination of the major merger fraction at z = 0.6 in Groth Strip
C. López-Sanjuan, M. Balcells, C. E. García-Dabó +6
(Abridged) We measure the fraction of galaxies undergoing disk-disk major mergers (f_m) at intermediate redshifts (0.35 <= z < 0.85) by studying the asymmetry index A of galaxy ima…
