A Divided Universe: Red and Blue Galaxies and their Preferred Environments
Making use of scaling relations between the central and the total galaxy luminosity of a dark matter halo as a function of the halo mass, and the scatter in these relations, we present an empirical model to describe the luminosity function (LF) of galaxies. We extend this model to describe relative statistics of early-type, or red, and latetype, or blue, galaxies, with the fraction of early typ...
متن کاملLenticular Galaxies and Their Environments
It is widely believed that lenticular (S0) galaxies were initially spirals from which the gas has been removed by interactions with hot cluster gas, or by rampressure stripping of cool gas from spirals that are orbiting within rich clusters of galaxies. However, problems with this interpretation are that: (1) Some lenticulars, such as NGC 3115, are isolated field galaxies rather than cluster me...
متن کاملBar Galaxies and their Environments
The prints of the Palomar Sky Survey, luminosity classification and radial velocities were used to assign all northern Shapley-Ames galaxies to either (1) field, (2) group, or (3) cluster environments. This information for 930 galaxies shows no evidence for a dependence of bar frequency on galaxy environment. This suggests that the formation of a bar in a disk galaxy is mainly determined by the...
متن کاملMassive , red galaxies in a hierarchical universe - I Counts of Extremely Red Objects and basic properties
We present predictions for the abundance and nature of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the Λ cold dark matter model. EROs are red, massive galaxies observed at z ≥ 1 and their numbers and properties pose a challenge to hierarchical galaxy formation models. We compare the predictions from two published models, one of which invokes a “superwind” to regulate star formation in massive haloes and th...
متن کاملDistant Radio Galaxies and Their Environments
We review the properties and nature of luminous high-redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs, z > 2) and the environments in which they are located. HzRGs have several distinct constituents which interact with each other relativistic plasma, gas in various forms, dust, stars and an active galactic nucleus (AGN). These building blocks provide unique diagnostics about conditions in the early Universe. We ...
