Collision-induced galaxy formation: semi-analytical model and multi-wavelength predictions
A semi-analytic model is proposed that couples the Press-Schechter formalism for the number of galaxies with a prescription for galaxy-galaxy interactions that enables to follow the evolution of galaxy morphologies along the Hubble sequence. Within this framework, we calculate the chemo-spectrophotometric evolution of galaxies to obtain spectral energy distributions. We find that such an approa...
متن کاملGalaxy bimodality versus stellar mass and environment
We analyse a z < 0.1 galaxy sample from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey focusing on the variation of the galaxy colour bimodality with stellar massM and projected neighbour density Σ, and on measurements of the galaxy stellar mass functions. The characteristic mass increases with environmental density from about 1010.6M⊙ to 10 10.9M⊙ (Kroupa IMF, H0 = 70) for Σ in the range 0.1–10Mpc . The galaxy ...
متن کاملGalaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA)
The GAMA survey aims to deliver 250,000 optical spectra (3–7Å resolution) over 250 sq. degrees to spectroscopic limits of rAB < 19.8 and KAB < 17.0 mag. Complementary imaging will be provided by GALEX, VST, UKIRT, VISTA, HERSCHEL and ASKAP to comparable flux levels leading to a definitive multi-wavelength galaxy database. The data will be used to study all aspects of cosmic structures on 1kpc t...
متن کاملA Comparison of Galaxy Merger History Observations and Predictions from Semi-Analytic Models
Mergers are predicted in all cosmological models involving Cold Dark Matter to be one of the dominant channels whereby galaxies accrete mass. In this paper we present a detailed analysis of predicted galaxy-galaxy merger fractions and rates in the Millennium simulation and compare these with the most up to date observations of the same quantities up to z ∼ 3. We carry out our analysis by consid...
متن کاملSemi-analytical Galaxy Formation Models and the High Redshift Universe
Semi-analytical models of galaxy formation based on hierarchical clustering now make a wide range of predictions for observable properties of galaxies at low and high redshift. This article concentrates on 2 aspects: (1) Self-consistent modelling of dust absorption predicts a mean UV extinction AUV ∼ 1 mag, depending only weakly on redshift, and similar to observational estimates. (2) The model...
