Breaking the Curve with CANDELS: A Bayesian Approach to Reveal the Non-Universality of the Dust-Attenuation Law at High Redshift

Brett Salmon, Casey Papovich, James Long +13

Dust attenuation affects nearly all observational aspects of galaxy evolution, yet very little is known about the form of the dust-attenuation law in the distant Universe. Here, we…

The SFR-M* Relation and Empirical Star-Formation Histories from ZFOURGE at 0.5 < z < 4

Adam R. Tomczak, Ryan F. Quadri, Kim-Vy H. Tran +19

We explore star-formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies based on the evolution of the star-formation rate stellar mass relation (SFR-M*). Using data from the FourStar Galaxy Evoluti…

Dusty galaxies and the degeneracy between their dust distributions and the attenuation formula

Kyle Penner, Mark Dickinson, Benjamin Weiner +7

Do spatial distributions of dust grains in galaxies have typical forms, as do spatial distributions of stars? We investigate whether or not the distributions resemble uniform foreg…

The Evolution of the Galaxy Stellar Mass Function at z= 4-8: A Steepening Low-mass-end Slope with Increasing Redshift

Mimi Song, Steven L. Finkelstein, Matthew L. N. Ashby +16

We present galaxy stellar mass functions (GSMFs) at 4-8 from a rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) selected sample of 4500 galaxies, found via photometric redshifts over an area…

On the Mass-Metallicity-Star Formation Rate Relation for Galaxies at

Samir Salim, Janice C. Lee, Romeel Davé +1

Recent studies have shown that the local mass-metallicity (M-Z) relation depends on the specific star formation rate (SSFR). Whether such a dependence exists at higher redshifts, a…

A Critical Assessment of Stellar Mass Measurement Methods

Bahram Mobasher, Tomas Dahlen, Henry C. Ferguson +34

In this paper we perform a comprehensive study of the main sources of random and systematic errors in stellar mass measurement for galaxies using their Spectral Energy Distribution…

A Deep Hubble and Keck Search for Definitive Identification of Lyman Continuum Emitters at z~3.1

Brian Siana, Alice E. Shapley, Kristin R. Kulas +13

Narrow-band imaging of the rest-frame Lyman continuum (LyC) of galaxies at z~3.1 has produced a large number of candidate LyC-emitting galaxies. These samples are contaminated by g…
