Star Formation and Merging in Massive Galaxies at z < 2
Observing massive galaxies at various redshifts is one of the most straightforward and direct approaches towards understanding galaxy formation. There is now largely a consensus that the massive galaxy (M∗ > 10 11 M⊙ ) population is fully formed by z ∼ 1, based on mass and luminosity functions. However, we argue that the latest data can only rule out number and mass density evolution of a facto...
متن کاملA SEARCH FOR STAR-FORMING GALAXIES AT z ∼ 7− 10 IN DEEP HST NICMOS IMAGING DATA AROUND MASSIVE GALAXY CLUSTERS
We conduct a search for z & 7 dropout galaxies over 21 arcmin of deep HST NICMOS, ACS, and WFPC2 data behind 11 massive lensing clusters. In total, we find only one robust z ∼ 7 z-dropout candidate, previously reported in Abell 1689, over this entire area. Four other weaker z-dropout and J-dropout candidates are also found. The nature of the four weaker candidates could not be precisely determi...
متن کاملCO ( 1 – 0 ) line imaging of massive star - forming disk galaxies at z = 1 . 5 −
We present detections of the CO(J = 1–0) emission line in a sample of four massive star-forming galaxies at z ∼ 1.5 − 2.2 obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). Combining these observations with previous CO(2–1) and CO(3–2) detections of these galaxies, we study the excitation properties of the molecular gas in our sample sources. We find an average line brightness temperature...
متن کاملGas fraction and depletion time of massive star forming galaxies at z~3.2: no change in global star formation process
The observed evolution of the gas fraction and its associated depletion time in main sequence (MS) galaxies provides insights on how star formation proceeds over cosmic time. We report ALMA detections of the rest-frame ∼300μm continuum observed at 240 GHz for 45 massive (〈log(M⋆(M⊙))〉 = 10.7), normal star forming (〈log(sSFR(yr))〉 = −8.6), i.e. MS, galaxies at z ≈ 3.2 in the COSMOS field. From a...
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...
