Evolution of the Most Massive Galaxies to z ~ 0.6: II. The link between radio AGN activity and star formation

Yan-Mei Chen, Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman +6

We analyze the optical spectra of massive (log M*/Msun > 11.4) radio-loud galaxies at z~0.2 and z~0.6. By comparing stellar population parameters of these radio-loud samples with r…
