Restframe Optical Spectroscopic Classifications for Submillimeter Galaxies
We report the results of a systematic near-infrared spectroscopic survey using the Subaru, VLT and Keck Telescopes of a sample of high redshift Ultra-luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) mainly composed of submillimeter-selected galaxies. Our observations span the restframe optical range containing nebular emission lines such as Hβ, [Oiii]λλ4959, 5007, and [Oii]λ3727, which are essential for mak...
متن کاملUV – NIR Restframe Luminosity Functions of the Galaxy Cluster EIS 0048 at z ∼ 0 . 64 ⋆
We derive the galaxy luminosity functions in V-, R-, I-, and K-bands of the cluster EIS 0048 at z ∼ 0.64 from data taken at the ESO Very Large Telescope. The data span the restframe wavelength range from UV, which is sensitive to even low rates of star formation, to the NIR, which maps the bulk of the stellar mass. By comparison of our data and of previous results with pure luminosity evolution...
متن کاملThe 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 Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions of Brightest Cluster Galaxies
A new technique for studying globular cluster populations around relatively distant galaxies is developed and applied to a sample of 23 galaxies in 19 Abell clusters. The technique is based on the surface brightness fluctuations method of determining galaxy distances. The galaxies in this sample range in redshift from 5000 to 10,000 km s1, and were selected from the Lauer & Postman (1994) surve...
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. ...
