The colors and sizes of recently quenched galaxies: a result of compact starburst before quenching

Po-Feng Wu, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +11

We analyze the colors and sizes of 32 quiescent (UVJ-selected) galaxies with strong Balmer absorption ($\mbox{EW}(Hδ) \geq 4$Å) at drawn from DR2 of the LEGA-C survey to…

Rejuvenation in quiescent galaxies in LEGA-C

Priscilla Chauke, Arjen van der Wel, Camilla Pacifici +12

We use reconstructed star-formation histories (SFHs) of quiescent galaxies at in the LEGA-C survey to identify secondary star-formation episodes that, after an initial pe…

Fast and slow paths to quiescence: ages and sizes of 400 quiescent galaxies from the LEGA-C survey

Po-Feng Wu, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +11

We analyze stellar age indicators (D4000 and EW(H)) and sizes of 467 quiescent galaxies with at drawn from DR2 of the LEGA-C survey.…

The Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C) Data Release II: dynamical and stellar population properties of z ~< 1 galaxies in the COSMOS field

Caroline M. S. Straatman, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +18

We present the second data release of the Large Early Galaxy Astrophysics Census (LEGA-C), an ESO 130-night public spectroscopic survey conducted with VIMOS on the Very Large Teles…

Stellar Populations of over one thousand Galaxies from LEGA-C: Ages and Star Formation Histories from D4000 and H

Po-Feng Wu, Arjen van der Wel, Anna Gallazzi +18

Drawing from the LEGA-C dataset, we present the spectroscopic view of the stellar population across a large volume- and mass-selected sample of galaxies at large lookback time. We…

Stellar Dynamics and Star-Formation Histories of z 1 Radio-loud Galaxies

Ivana Barišić, Arjen van der Wel, Rachel Bezanson +18

We investigate the stellar kinematics and stellar populations of 58 radio-loud galaxies of intermediate luminosities (L 10 W Hz ) at 0.6 < z < 1. This s…
