Galaxy and Star Formation up to Z∼ 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Star formation history shows a gradual decline since the last 8-9 Gyr (z=1). The bulk of present-day stellar mass and metal content was formed at red-shifts lower than 2-3, which is consistent with a hierarchical scenario of galaxy formation. Observations of galaxy evolution during the last 2/3 of the Universe age could be done in great details, and provide numerous insights on the origin of the Hubble diagram. To some extent, the evolution and formation of present-day elliptical and spiral galaxies could be related to the most rapidly evolving galaxy populations at z∼ 1, namely the luminous IR galaxies and the luminous compact galaxies.

Stellar 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...
متن کاملGalaxy Evolution : Internally or Externally Driven ?
1 RESUMEN El resumen será traducido al español por los editores. The globally-averaged star formation rate in the Universe has been steadily declining since at least z ∼ 1. This may be due either to very local processes operating within the average galaxy, or to external, environmental effects. Specifically, the build-up of structure may be responsible for terminating star formation in some gal...
متن کاملThe Deep2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: the Role of Galaxy Environment in the Cosmic Star–formation History
Using galaxy samples drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, we study the relationship between star formation and environment at z ∼ 0.1 and z ∼ 1. We estimate the total star–formation rate (SFR) and specific star–formation rate (sSFR) for each galaxy according to the measured [O II] λ3727Å nebular line luminosity, corrected using empirical calibrations to ...
متن کاملEIGHT BILLION YEARS OF DISK GALAXY EVOLUTION No galaxy is an island
We present a brief discussion of the evolution of disk galaxy stellar masses, sizes, rotation velocities, and star formation rates over the last eight billion years. Recent observations have failed to detect significant evolution in the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relation, stellar mass–size relation, and the stellar mass function of disk galaxies. Yet, most z < 1 star formation is in disks, and ...

In a ΛCDM Universe, galaxies grow in mass both through star formation and through addition of already-formed stars in galaxy mergers. Because of this partial decoupling of these two modes of galaxy growth, I discuss each separately in this biased and incomplete review of galaxy assembly; first giving an overview of the cosmic-averaged star formation history, and then moving on to discuss the im...
