A holistic exploration of the potentially recoverable redshift information of Stage IV galaxy surveys

Bryan R Scott, Alex I Malz, Robert Sorba

Extragalactic science and cosmology with Stage IV galaxy surveys will rely almost exclusively on redshift measurements derived solely from photometry, which are subject to systemat…

FORECASTOR -- I. Finding Optics Requirements and Exposure times for the Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and UV Research mission

Isaac Cheng, Tyrone E. Woods, Patrick Côté +21

The Cosmological Advanced Survey Telescope for Optical and ultraviolet Research (CASTOR) is a proposed Canadian-led 1m-class space telescope that will carry out ultraviolet and blu…

LARgE Survey. I. Dead Monsters: the Massive End of the Passive Galaxy Stellar Mass Function at Cosmic Noon

Liz Arcila-Osejo, Marcin Sawicki, Stephane Arnouts +3

We introduce the largest to date survey of massive quiescent galaxies at redshift z~1.6. With these data, which cover 27.6 deg^2, we can find significant numbers of very rare objec…

Spatially-unresolved SED fitting can underestimate galaxy masses: a solution to the missing mass problem

Robert Sorba, Marcin Sawicki

We perform spatially-resolved, pixel-by-pixel SED fitting on galaxies up to in the Hubble Extreme Deep Field (XDF). Comparing stellar mass estimates from spatially resol…

Missing Stellar Mass in SED Fitting: Spatially Unresolved Photometry can Underestimate Galaxy Masses

Robert Sorba, Marcin Sawicki

We fit model spectral energy distributions to each pixel in 67 nearby (<z>=0.0057) galaxies using broadband photometry from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and GALEX. For each galaxy,…

Using the 1.6um Bump to Study Rest-frame NIR Selected Galaxies at Redshift 2

Robert Sorba, Marcin Sawicki

We explore the feasibility and limitations of using the 1.6um bump as a photometric redshift indicator and selection technique and use it to study the rest-frame H-band galaxy lumi…
