Exploring the chemical link between local ellipticals and their high-redshift progenitors
Joel Leja, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Ivelina Momcheva +12
We present Keck/MOSFIRE K-band spectroscopy of the first mass-selected sample of galaxies at . Targets are selected from the 3D-HST Treasury survey. The six detected gala…
Tight Correlations Between Massive Galaxy Structural Properties and Dynamics: The Mass Fundamental Plane Was in Place by z~2
Rachel Bezanson, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Jesse van de Sande +3
The Fundamental Plane (FP) is an empirical relation between the size, surface brightness, and velocity dispersion of early-type galaxies. This relation has been studied extensively…
The Structural Evolution of Milky Way-like Star Forming Galaxies since z~1.3
Shannon G. Patel, Mattia Fumagalli, Marijn Franx +14
We follow the structural evolution of star forming galaxies (SFGs) like the Milky Way by selecting progenitors to z~1.3 based on the stellar mass growth inferred from the evolution…
The Assembly of Milky Way-like Galaxies Since z~2.5
Pieter G. van Dokkum, Joel Leja, Erica June Nelson +16
Galaxies with the mass of the Milky Way dominate the stellar mass density of the Universe but it is uncertain how and when they were assembled. Here we study progenitors of these g…
Galaxy environments over cosmic time: the non-evolving radial galaxy distributions around massive galaxies since z=1.6
Tomer Tal, Pieter G. van Dokkum, Marijn Franx +3
We present a statistical study of the environments of massive galaxies in four redshift bins between z=0.04 and z=1.6, using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the N…
Tracing Galaxies Through Cosmic Time with Number Density Selection
Joel Leja, Pieter van Dokkum, Marijn Franx
A central challenge in observational studies of galaxy formation is how to associate progenitor galaxies with their descendants at lower redshifts. One promising approach is to lin…
