Fractional yields inferred from halo and thick disk stars [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2013 Linear [Q/H]-[O/H] relations, Q = Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Cr, Fe, Ni, are inferred from a sample (N = 67) of recently studied FGK-type dwarf stars in the solar neighbourhood including different populations (Nissen and Schuster 2010, Ramirez et al ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 It is argued that within the standard Big Bang cosmological model the bulk of the mass of the luminous parts of the large galaxies likely had been assembled by redshift z ∼ 10. Galaxy assembly this early would be difficult to fit in the widely discussed adiabatic cold dark matter model for structure formation ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We study the recent star formation histories (SFHs) of 575 intermediate-mass galaxies (IMGs, 10 ^9 ≤ M / M _⊙ ≤ 10 ^10 ) in COSMOS at 0.3 < z < 0.4 by comparing their H α and UV luminosities.

Formation of a Massive Lenticular Galaxy Under the Tidal Interaction with a Group of Dwarf Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Based on the atomic-hydrogen (H i ) observations using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope, we present a detailed study of the gas-rich massive S0 galaxy NGC 1023 in a nearby galaxy group.

JWST Reveals a Population of Ultrared, Flattened Galaxies at 2 ≲ z ≲ 6 Previously Missed by HST
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 With just a month of data, JWST is already transforming our view of the universe, revealing and resolving starlight in unprecedented populations of galaxies.

Rapid Quenching of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The existence of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift seems to require rapid quenching, but it is unclear whether all quiescent galaxies have gone through this phase and what physical mechanisms are involved.

Galaxies, 2021 Not all the light in galaxy groups and clusters comes from stars that are bound to galaxies. A significant fraction of it constitutes the so-called intracluster or diffuse light (ICL), a low surface brightness component of groups/clusters generally found

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 Theories of galaxy formation via hierarchical clustering of cold dark matter and by fragmentation of gaseous pancakes or shells are reviewed and compared. Dissipative processes are crucial to all theories of galaxy formation, and are discussed in terms of a simple model involving multiple cloud interactions.

The 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.

Physics Reports, 2010 We review the current theory of how galaxies form within the cosmological framework provided by the cold dark matter paradigm for structure formation. Beginning with the pre-galactic evolution of baryonic material we describe the analytical and numerical understanding of how baryons condense into galaxies, what determines the structure of those ...
