The Journey to Dominance: How BCGs Evolve Differently from Other Massive Galaxies
Marcelo C. Vicentin, Michael A. Strauss, Laerte Sodré +3
We use the L-GALAXIES semi-analytic model to investigate the evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) found in clusters at . BCGs are typically located in the c…
The Connection between Dusty Star-Forming Galaxies and the First Massive Quenched Galaxies
Pablo Araya-Araya, Rachel K. Cochrane, Laerte Sodré +6
High-redshift (z > 2) massive quiescent (MQ) galaxies provide an opportunity to probe the key physical processes driving the fuelling and quenching of star formation in the early U…
Selecting Clusters and Protoclusters via Stellar Mass Density: II. Application to HSC-SSP Observations
Marcelo C. Vicentin, Laerte Sodré, Michael A. Strauss +2
We present a selection of candidates of clusters and protoclusters of galaxies identified in the photometric data of the HSC-SSP Wide Public Data Release 3 (PDR3), spanning the red…
Selecting Clusters and Protoclusters via Stellar Mass Density: I. Method and tests on Mock HSC-SSP catalogs
Marcelo C. Vicentin, Pablo Araya-Araya, Laerte Sodré +1
We present an algorithm designed to identify galaxy (proto)clusters in wide-area photometric surveys by first selecting their dominant galaxy-i.e., the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BC…
Simultaneously Modelling Dusty Star Forming Galaxies and Massive Quiescents: A Calibration Framework for Galaxy Formation Models
Pablo Araya-Araya, Rachel K. Cochrane, Christopher C. Hayward +4
Galaxy formation models, particularly semi-analytic models (SAMs), rely on differential equations with free parameters to describe the physical mechanisms governing galaxy formatio…
