Investigating the Dominant Environmental Quenching Process in UVCANDELS/COSMOS Groups
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We explore how the fraction of quenched galaxies changes in groups of galaxies with respect to the distance to the center of the group, redshift, and stellar mass to determine the dominant process of environmental quenching in 0.2 < z < 0.8 groups.

Evolution of clusters of galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 1991 In hierarchical models for structure formation like CDM, the mass scale of clustering evolves rapidly and clusters in the past are predicted to be less massive, but denser and more numerous. The indication from optical searches is that the cluster population is roughly stable in that high velocity dispersion clusters seem to be about as abundant at z ~

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Keystones of galaxy evolution [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most insignificant extragalactic stellar systems in terms of their visibility, but potentially very significant in terms of their role in the formation and evolution of much more luminous galaxies. We discuss the present observational data and their implications for theories of the formation and evolution of both dwarf

Revisiting the Fundamental Metallicity Relation with Observation and Simulation
The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe gas-phase metallicity of galaxies is regulated by multiple astrophysical processes, which makes it a crucial diagnostic of galaxy formation and evolution.

Kinematics of Cluster Galaxies and Their Relation to Galaxy Evolution [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract We study the kinematics of galaxies within massive clusters, as a probe of the physics of star formation quenching within clusters. Using N-body simulations, we argue that satellite kinematics provide information about galaxy infall that is complementary to the (instantaneous) spatial distribution of satellites and can help ...

Warped Disk Galaxies. II. From the Cosmic Web to the Galactic Warp
The Astrophysical JournalGalactic warps are common in disk galaxies. While often attributed to galaxy–galaxy tides, a nonspherical dark matter halo has also been proposed as a driver of disk warping.

Modeling the Ages and Chemical Abundances of Elliptical Galaxies
The Astrophysical JournalSpectroscopic studies of elliptical galaxies show that their stellar population ages, mean metallicity, and α enhancement traced by [Mg/Fe] all increase with galaxy stellar mass or velocity dispersion.
