On - axis spectroscopy of the host galaxies of 20 optically luminous quasars at z ∼ 0 . 3 ⋆
We present the analysis of a representative sample of 20 bright low-redshift quasars (MB < −23 and z < 0.35) observed spectroscopically with the VLT. The FORS1 spectra, obtained in Multi Object Spectroscopy (MOS) mode, allow to observe simultaneously the quasars and several reference stars used to spatially deconvolve the data. Applying the MCS deconvolution method, we are able to separate the ...
متن کاملMorphologies of Two Massive Old Galaxies at Z ∼ 2.5
We present the results of NICMOS imaging of two massive galaxies photometrically selected to have old stellar populations at z ∼ 2.5. Both galaxies are dominated by apparent disks of old stars, although one of them also has a small bulge comprising about 1/3 of the light at rest-frame 4800 Å. The presence of massive disks of old stars at high redshift means that at least some massive galaxies i...
متن کاملA Massive Cluster of Galaxies at Z = 0.996
We report the identiication of a cluster of galaxies around the high-redshift radio galaxy 3CR184 at z = 0.996. The identiication is supported by an excess of galaxies observed in projection in I band images (both in ground-based and HST data), a peak in the redshift distribution comprising 11 galaxies (out of 56 with measured redshifts) in a 2000 km s ?1 velocity interval, and the observation ...
متن کاملExtremely Compact Massive Galaxies at 1.7 < Z < 3
We measure and analyse the sizes of 82 massive (M ≥ 10M⊙) galaxies at 1.7 ≤ z ≤ 3 utilizing deep HST NICMOS data taken in the GOODS North and South fields. Our sample provides the first statistical study of massive galaxy sizes at z > 2. We split our sample into disk–like (Sérsic index n ≤ 2) and spheroid– like (Sérsic index n > 2) galaxies, and find that at a given stellar mass, disk–like gala...
متن کاملExtremely compact massive galaxies at z ∼ 1 . 4
The optical rest–frame sizes of 10 of the most massive (∼5×1011h70−2M⊙) galaxies found in the near–infrared MUNICS survey at 1.2<z<1.7 are analysed. Sizes were estimated both in the J and K’ filters. These massive galaxies are at least a factor of 4 −1.0 (±1 σ) smaller in the rest–frame V–band than local counterparts of the same stellar mass. Consequently, the stellar mass density of these obje...
