On the intermediate-redshift central stellar mass-halo mass relation, and implications for the evolution of the most massive galaxies since z~1
Francesco Shankar, Hong Guo, Vincent Bouillot +20
The stellar mass-halo mass relation is a key constraint in all semi-analytic, numerical, and semi-empirical models of galaxy formation and evolution. However, its exact shape and r…
The massive end of the luminosity and stellar mass functions: Dependence on the fit to the light profile
M. Bernardi, A. Meert, R. K. Sheth +4
In addition to the large systematic differences arising from assumptions about the stellar mass-to-light ratio, the massive end of the stellar mass function is rather sensitive to…
Effect of Measurement Errors on Predicted Cosmological Constraints from Shear Peak Statistics with LSST
D. Bard, J. M. Kratochvil, C. Chang +26
The statistics of peak counts in reconstructed shear maps contain information beyond the power spectrum, and can improve cosmological constraints from measurements of the power spe…
No evidence for a dependence of the mass size relation of early-type galaxies on environment in the local Universe
Marc Huertas-Company, Francesco Shankar, Simona Mei +4
The early--type galaxy (ETG) mass--size relation has been largely studied to understand how these galaxies have assembled their mass. One key observational result of the last years…
Simulations of single and two-component galaxy decompositions for spectroscopically selected galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Alan Meert, Vinu Vikram, Mariangela Bernardi
We present the results of fitting simulations of an unbiased sample of SDSS galaxies utilizing the fitting routine GALFIT and analysis pipeline PyMorph. These simulations are used…
Systematic effects on the size-luminosity relation: dependence on model fitting and morphology
M. Bernardi, A. Meert, V. Vikram +4
We quantify the systematics in the size-luminosity relation of galaxies in the SDSS main sample which arise from fitting different 1- and 2-component model profiles to the images.…
