GABE: Galaxy Assembly with Binary Evolution

Galaxy Evolution with Alma

The submillimeter and millimeter domains are privileged for the exploration of galaxies at high redshift, because of the negative K-correction: the peak of the dust emission at 60-100 microns is red-shifted in these domains. Already blind surveys in blank fields with today instrumentation have discovered in the continuum of the order of one object per square arcmin, with large limitations due t...

Galaxy Activity in Merging Binary Galaxy Clusters

We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data. In A168 two subclusters appear to have passed each other and to be com...

Binary evolution models with rotation

We discuss the first available binary evolution models which include up-to-date rotational physics for both components, as well as angular momentum accretion and spin-orbit coupling. These models allow a self-consistent computation of the mass transfer efficiency during Roche-lobe overflow phases, and a determination of the transition from quasi-conservative to non-conservative evolution. Appli...

Implications for Early Galaxy Assembly

We present an analysis of the structures, sizes, star formation rates, and local environmental properties of galaxies at z ∼ 4 − 6 (τuniverse < 2 Gyr), utilising deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The galaxies we study are selected with the Lyman-break drop-out technique, using galaxies which are B-,V-, and i−drops, which effectively selects UV bright starbursti...
