The Origins of UV-optical Color Gradients in Star-forming Galaxies at z ~ 2: Predominant Dust Gradients But Negligible sSFR Gradients
F. S. Liu, Dongfei Jiang, S. M. Faber +13
The rest-frame UV-optical (i.e., ) color is sensitive to both low-level recent star formation (specific star formation rate - sSFR) and dust. In this Letter, we extend our p…
UVI colour gradients of 0.4<z<1.4 star-forming main sequence galaxies in CANDELS: dust extinction and star formation profiles

The UV-optical Color Gradients in Star-Forming Galaxies at 0.5<z<1.5: Origins and Link to Galaxy Assembly
F. S. Liu, Dongfei Jiang, Yicheng Guo +10
The rest-frame UV-optical (i.e., NUV-B) color index is sensitive to the low-level recent star formation and dust extinction, but it is insensitive to the metallicity. In this Lette…
