Compaction and Quenching of High-z Galaxies in Cosmological Simulations: Blue and Red Nuggets
Adi Zolotov, Avishai Dekel, Nir Mandelker +7
We use cosmological simulations to study a characteristic evolution pattern of high redshift galaxies. Early, stream-fed, highly perturbed, gas-rich discs undergo phases of dissipa…
Clumpy Galaxies in CANDELS. I. The Definition of UV Clumps and the Fraction of Clumpy Galaxies at 0.5<z<3
Yicheng Guo, Henry C. Ferguson, Eric F. Bell +19
Although giant clumps of stars are crucial to galaxy formation and evolution, the most basic demographics of clumps are still uncertain, mainly because the definition of clumps has…
Early formation of massive, compact, spheroidal galaxies with classical profiles by violent disc instability or mergers
Daniel Ceverino, Avishai Dekel, Dylan Tweed +1
We address the formation of massive stellar spheroids between redshifts and 1 using a suite of AMR hydro-cosmological simulations. The spheroids form as bulges, and the spher…
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…
Geometry of Star-Forming Galaxies from SDSS, 3D-HST and CANDELS
A. van der Wel, Yu-Yen Chang, E. F. Bell +18
We determine the intrinsic, 3-dimensional shape distribution of star-forming galaxies at 0<z<2.5, as inferred from their observed projected axis ratios. In the present-day universe…
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…
