Morphological Number Counts of Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South By Myung

چکیده
We present a study of photometric properties of the galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDFS) based on the released WFPC2 images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We have classified about 340 galaxies with I < 26 mag in the HDFS as well as about 400 galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN) using the visual classification supplemented by inspection of the surface brightness profiles of the galaxies. Galaxy population statistics and morphological number counts for the HDFS are found to be similar to be those for the HDFN. We have also determined photometrically the redshifts of the galaxies with I < 26 mag in the HDFS and the HDFN using the empirical training set method. Redshift distribution, color–redshift relation, and magnitude–redshift for each type of galaxies are investigated.

متن کاملInterpreting the optical data of the Hubble Deep Field South: colors, morphological number counts and photometric redshifts
We present an analysis of the optical data of the Hubble Deep Field South. We derive F300WAB, F450WAB, F606WAB and F814WAB number counts for galaxies in our catalogue (Volonteri et al. 2000): the number-counts relation has an increasing slope up to the limits of the survey in all four bands. The slope is steeper at shortest wavelengths: we estimated γF300WAB ∼ 0.47± 0.05, γF450WAB ∼ 0.35 ± 0.02...
متن کاملUltraviolet Number Counts of Galaxies from Swift UV/Optical Telescope Deep Imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South
Deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South is used to measure galaxy number counts in three near ultraviolet (NUV) filters (uvw2: 1928 Å, uvm2: 2246 Å, uvw1: 2600 Å) and the u band (3645 Å). UVOT observations cover the break in the slope of the NUV number counts with greater precision than the number counts by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope ...
متن کاملFaint galaxy counts as a function of morphological type in a hierarchical merger model
The unprecedented resolution of the refurbished Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has led to major advances in our understanding of galaxy formation. The high image quality in the Medium Deep Survey and Hubble Deep Field has made it possible, for the first time, to classify faint distant galaxies according to morphological type. These observations hav...
متن کاملModelling the number counts of early-type galaxies by pure luminosity evolution
In this paper, we explore the plausible luminosity evolution of early-type galaxies in different cosmological models by constructing a set of pure luminosity evolution (PLE) models via the choices of the star formation rate (SFR) parameters and formation redshift zf of galaxies, with the observational constraints derived from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) morphological number counts for elli...
