High redshift quasars and the supermassive black hole mass budget: constraints on quasar formation models
J. M. Bromley, R. S. Somerville, A. C. Fabian
We investigate the constraints on models of supermassive black hole (SMBH) and quasar formation obtainable from two recent observational developments: the discovery of luminous qua…
Evolution in the Colors of Lyman-Break Galaxies from Z~4 to Z~3
Casey Papovich, Mark Dickinson, Henry C. Ferguson +11
The integrated colors of distant galaxies provide a means for interpreting the properties of their stellar content. Here, we use rest-frame UV-to-optical colors to constrain the sp…
The Evolution of Early-type Field Galaxies Selected from a NICMOS Map of the Hubble Deep Field North
S. A. Stanford, M. Dickinson, M. Postman +5
The redshift distribution of well-defined samples of distant early-type galaxies offers a means to test the predictions of monolithic and hierarchical galaxy formation scenarios. N…
The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey: Initial Results From Optical and Near-Infrared Imaging
M. Giavalisco, the GOODS Team
This Special Issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters is dedicated to presenting initial results from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) that are primarily, but…
Cosmic Variance in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey
Rachel S. Somerville, Kyoungsoo Lee, Henry C. Ferguson +3
Cosmic variance is the uncertainty in observational estimates of the volume density of extragalactic objects such as galaxies or quasars arising from the underlying large-scale den…
The Redshift Distribution of Near-IR Selected Galaxies in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey as a Test of Galaxy Formation Scenarios
Rachel S. Somerville, Leonidas A. Moustakas, Bahram Mobasher +11
The redshift distribution of near-IR selected galaxies is often used to attempt to discriminate between the classical view of galaxy formation, in which present-day luminous galaxi…
