Using Cumulative Number Densities to Compare Galaxies across Cosmic Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Comparing galaxies across redshifts at fixed cumulative number density is a popular way to estimate the evolution of specific galaxy populations. This method ignores scatter in mass accretion histories and galaxy-galaxy mergers, which can lead to errors ...

Comparison of the Chemical Compositions between the Bright and Faint Red Clumps for the Metal-poor and Metal-rich Populations in the Milky Way Bulge

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We examined the double red clump (RC) observed in the Galactic bulge, interpreted as a difference in distance (“X-shaped bulge scenario”) or in chemical composition (“multiple population scenario”).

Living with Neighbors. V. Better-aligned Spiral+Spiral Galaxy Pairs Show Stronger Star Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Enhanced star formation (SF) with star-forming neighboring galaxies bolsters the hydrodynamical contributions during paired interactions. Although the relative spin orientation between interacting galaxies can influence this effect, it has not been ...

A Rest-frame Near-IR Study of Clumps in Galaxies at 1 < z < 2 Using JWST/NIRCam: Connection to Galaxy Bulges

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A key question in galaxy evolution has been the importance of the apparent “clumpiness” of high-redshift galaxies. Until now, this property has been primarily investigated in rest-frame UV, limiting our understanding of their relevance.

A Simple Technique for Predicting High-Redshift Galaxy Evolution

open access: yes, 2015
We show that the ratio of galaxies' specific star formation rates (SSFRs) to their host halos' specific mass accretion rates (SMARs) strongly constrains how the galaxies' stellar masses, specific star formation rates, and host halo masses evolve over ...

Investigating the Dominant Environmental Quenching Process in UVCANDELS/COSMOS Groups

open access: yesThe 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.

Diffuse stellar component in galaxy clusters and the evolution of the most massive galaxies at z<~1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The high end of the stellar mass function of galaxies is observed to have little evolution since z~1. This represents a stringent constraint for merger--based models, aimed at explaining the evolution of the most massive galaxies in the concordance ...

Galaxy Evolution in Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this thesis, we aim to further elucidate the phenomenon of galaxy evolution in the environment of galaxy clusters using the methodology of numerical simulations. For that, we have developed hydrodynamic models in which idealized gas-rich galaxies move within the ICM of idealized galaxy clusters, allowing us to probe in a detailed and controlled ...

MRC B0319-454: Probing the large-scale structure with a giant radio galaxy

open access: yes, 2008
We present an investigation of the relationships between the radio properties of a giant radio galaxy MRC B0319-454 and the surrounding galaxy distribution with the aim of examining the influence of intergalactic gas and gravity associated with the large-

The evolution of galaxy clustering [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1997
This paper investigates whether nonlinear gravitational instability can account for the clustering of galaxies on large and small scales, and for the evolution of clustering with epoch. No CDM-like spectrum is consistent with the shape of the observed nonlinear spectrum. Unbiased low-density models greatly overpredict the small-scale correlations; high-
