Luminous and High Stellar Mass Candidate Galaxies at z ~ 8 Discovered in CANDELS
Haojing Yan, Steven L. Finkelstein, Kuang-Han Huang +26
One key goal of the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Assembly Near-Infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey is to track galaxy evolution back to z ~ 8. Its two-tiered "wide and deep"…
Modeling the red sequence: Hierarchical growth yet slow luminosity evolution
Rosalind E. Skelton, Eric F. Bell, Rachel S. Somerville
We explore the effects of mergers on the evolution of massive early-type galaxies by modeling the evolution of their stellar populations in a hierarchical context. We investigate h…
X-ray selected AGN Hosts are Similar to Inactive Galaxies out to z=3: Results from CANDELS/CDF-S
D. J. Rosario, M. Mozena, S. Wuyts +18
We use multi-band spatially resolved photometry from the Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Legacy Survey (CANDELS) in the 4 MSec Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) to explore the nuclear…
CANDELS: Constraining the AGN-Merger Connection with Host Morphologies at z~2
Dale D. Kocevski, S. M. Faber, Mark Mozena +35
Using HST/WFC3 imaging taken as part of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS), we examine the role that major galaxy mergers play in triggeri…
The Major and Minor Galaxy Merger Rates at z < 1.5
Jennifer M. Lotz, Patrik Jonsson, T. J. Cox +4
Calculating the galaxy merger rate requires both a census of galaxies identified as merger candidates, and a cosmologically-averaged `observability' timescale T_obs(z) for identify…
The effects of a hot gaseous halo on disc thickening in galaxy minor mergers
Benjamin P. Moster, Andrea V. Maccio', Rachel S. Somerville +2
We employ hydrodynamical simulations to study the effects of dissipational gas physics on the vertical heating and thickening of disc galaxies during minor mergers. For the first t…
