Towards a physical picture of star-formation quenching: the photometric properties of recently-quenched galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
J. Trevor Mendel, Luc Simard, Sara L. Ellison +1
We select a sample of young passive galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 in order to study the processes that quench star formation in the local universe. Quen…
On the Shapes and Structures of High-Redshift Compact Galaxies
M. Chevance, A. Weijmans, I. Damjanov +5
Recent deep Hubble Space Telescope WFC3 imaging suggests that a majority of compact quiescent massive galaxies at z~2 may contain disks. To investigate this claim, we have compared…
Universal IMF vs dark halo response in early-type galaxies: breaking the degeneracy with the fundamental plane
Aaron A. Dutton, Andrea V. Maccio', J. Trevor Mendel +1
We use the relations between aperture stellar velocity dispersion (σ_ap), stellar mass (M_sps), and galaxy size (R_e) for a sample of \sim 150,000 early-type galaxies from SDSS/DR7…
Evidence for a non-universal stellar initial mass function in low-redshift high-density early-type galaxies
Aaron A. Dutton, J. Trevor Mendel, Luc Simard
We determine an absolute calibration of stellar mass-to-light ratios for the densest \simeq 3% of early-type galaxies in the local universe (redshift z\simeq 0.08) from SDSS DR7. T…

Using a sample of BzK-selected galaxies at z~2 identified from the CFHT/WIRCAM near-infrared survey of GOODS-North, we discuss the relation between star formation rate (SFR), speci…
A Catalog of Bulge+Disk Decompositions and Updated Photometry for 1.12 Million Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Luc Simard, J. Trevor Mendel, David R. Patton +2
We perform two-dimensional, Point-Spread-Function-convolved, bulge+disk decompositions in the and bandpasses on a sample of 1,123,718 galaxies from the Legacy area of the S…
The impact of gas inflows on star formation rates and metallicities in barred galaxies
Sara L. Ellison, Preethi Nair, David R. Patton +3
The star formation rates (SFRs) and metallicities of a sample of 294 galaxies with visually classified, strong, large-scale bars are compared to a control sample of unbarred disk g…
Compact groups in theory and practice -- IV. The connection to large-scale structure
J. Trevor Mendel, Sara L. Ellison, Luc Simard +2
We investigate the properties of photometrically-selected compact groups (CGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. In this paper, the fourth in a series, we focus on understanding the…

The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) is designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, over the approximate redshift (z) range…
Gas flows in galaxies: the relative importance of mergers and bars
Sara L. Ellison, David R. Patton, Preethi Nair +4
Galaxy-galaxy interactions and large scale galaxy bars are usually considered as the two main mechanisms for driving gas to the centres of galaxies. By using large samples of galax…
