Rest-UV Absorption Lines as Metallicity Estimator: the Metal Content of Star-Forming Galaxies at z~5

A. L. Faisst, P. L. Capak, I. Davidzon +12

We measure a relation between the depth of four prominent rest-UV absorption complexes and metallicity for local galaxies and verify it up to z~3. We then apply this relation to a…

The Quasar-LBG Two-point Angular Cross-correlation Function at z ~ 4 in the COSMOS Field

H. Ikeda, T. Nagao, Y. Taniguchi +15

In order to investigate the origin of quasars, we estimate the bias factor for low-luminosity quasars at high redshift for the first time. In this study, we use the two-point angul…

Exploring Photometric Redshifts as an Optimization Problem: An Ensemble MCMC and Simulated Annealing-Driven Template-Fitting Approach

Joshua S. Speagle, Peter L. Capak, Daniel J. Eisenstein +2

Using a grid of million elements () adapted from COSMOS photometric redshift (photo-z) searches, we investigate the general properties of template-based photo-…

The Impossibly Early Galaxy Problem

Charles L. Steinhardt, Peter Capak, Dan Masters +1

The current hierarchical merging paradigm and CDM predict that the universe should be a time in which the most massive galaxies are transitioning from their initial…

(Sub)millimetre interferometric imaging of a sample of COSMOS/AzTEC submillimetre galaxies - I. Multiwavelength identifications and redshift distribution

Oskari Miettinen, Vernesa Smolčić, Mladen Novak +17

We used the PdBI to map a sample of 15 SMGs in the COSMOS field at the wavelength of 1.3 mm. The target SMGs were originally discovered in the JCMT/AzTEC 1.1 mm continuum survey at…

Physical properties of z>4 submillimeter galaxies in the COSMOS field

V. Smolcic, A. Karim, O. Miettinen +30

We study the physical properties of a sample of 6 SMGs in the COSMOS field, spectroscopically confirmed to lie at z>4. We use new GMRT 325 MHz and 3 GHz JVLA data to probe the rest…
