The optical and near-infrared properties of galaxies. I. Luminosity and stellar mass functions
We use a large sample of galaxies from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to calculate galaxy luminosity and stellar mass functions in the local Universe. We estimate corrections for passband shifting and galaxy evolution, as well as present-day stellar mass-to-light (M/L) ratios, by fitting the optical–near-infrared galaxy data with simple models. Acc...
متن کاملThe K s - band Luminosity and Stellar Mass Functions of Galaxies in z ∼ 1 Clusters
We present the near-infrared (Ks-band) luminosity function of galaxies in two z ∼ 1 cluster candidates, 3C336 and Q1335+28. A third cluster, 3C289, was observed but found to be contaminated by a foreground system. Our wide field imaging data reach to Ks=20.5 (5σ), corresponding to ∼M +2.7 with respect to the passive evolution. The near-infrared luminosity traces the stellar mass of a galaxy due...
متن کاملThe Mass and Luminosity Functions of Galaxies and their Evolution
We set up a model for the evolution of the galaxy luminosity function, taking advantage of recent work that brought in some better understanding of the mass function for gravitationally condensed objects. We add to this a simple model of star formation that reproduces the behaviour of the Tully-Fisher relation, in order to attach a luminosity to a massive halo with a given velocity dispersion. ...
متن کاملThe fading of young stellar populations and the luminosity functions of dwarf, irregular and starburst galaxies
Dwarf, irregular and infrared-luminous starburst galaxies are all known to have “steep” luminosity functions with faint-end behavior roughly φ(L) ∝ L−1.8. This form is exactly what is expected if the luminosities of these objects fade with time as L ∝ t−1.3, because the objects spend more time at low luminosities than high, even if they form with a wide range of initial masses. Models of young ...
متن کاملStellar Populations in the Central Galaxies of Fossil Groups
It is inferred from the symmetrical and luminous X-ray emission of fossil groups that they are mature, relaxed galaxy systems. Cosmological simulations and observations focusing on their dark halo and inter-galactic medium properties confirm their early formation. Recent photometric observations suggest that, unlike the majority of non-fossil brightest group galaxies (BGGs), the central early-t...
