The Properties of High Redshift Galaxies

0 The Properties of High Redshift Galaxies

In recent years, a variety of techniques at optical, near-infrared, sub-mm, and radio wavelengths have opened complementary windows on the high-redshift Universe. Here we review the current understanding of the general properties of the z2 galaxies detected in the optical (Lyman-break galaxies) and in the sub-mm (SCUBA sources). We list some of the key questions that need to be answered in orde...

The Observed Properties of High-Redshift Cluster Galaxies

We use the semi-analytic models of galaxy formation developed by Kauffmann, White & Guiderdoni (1993) to generate predictions for the observed properties of galaxies in clusters and groups at redshifts between 0 and 0.6. We examine four different sets of cosmological initial conditions: a low-density cold dark matter model with and without cosmological constant, a flat cold dark matter model an...

Photometric Properties of the Most Massive High-redshift Galaxies

We calculate the observable properties of the most massive high-redshift galaxies in the hierarchical formation scenario where stellar spheroid and supermassive black hole growth are fueled by gasrich mergers. Combining high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations of the hierarchical formation of a z ∼ 6 quasar, stellar population synthesis models, template AGN spectra, prescriptions for interste...
