The First Quenched Galaxies: When and How?

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Many quiescent galaxies discovered in the early Universe by JWST raise fundamental questions on when and how these galaxies became and stayed quenched. Making use of the latest version of the semianalytic model GAEA that provides good agreement with the ...

A Closer Look at the Extended Edge-on Low-surface Brightness Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
To understand the origin of extended disks of low-surface brightness (LSB) galaxies, we studied in detail four such systems with large disks seen edge on. Two of them are edge-on giant LSB galaxies (gLSBGs) recently identified by our team.

The interaction-driven starburst contribution to the cosmic star formation rate density

open access: yes, 2013
An increasing amount of observational evidence supports the notion that there are two modes of star formation: a quiescent mode in disk-like galaxies, and a starburst mode, which is generally interpreted as driven by merging.

Dissipation and the Formation of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
The evidence for dissipation in elliptical galaxies indicates neither the epoch of formation nor the rate of radiation. The hypotheses for the formation of ellipticals include mergers of pre-existing, mostly stellar, disk galaxies; accumulation of gassy fragments that subsequently turn into stars; and the dynamical collapse of a distinct protogalactic ...

The Heavy Metal Survey: The Evolution of Stellar Metallicities, Abundance Ratios, and Ages of Massive Quiescent Galaxies since z ∼ 2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the elemental abundances and ages of 19 massive quiescent galaxies at z ∼ 1.4 and z ∼ 2.1 from the Keck Heavy Metal Survey. The ultradeep LRIS and MOSFIRE spectra were modeled using a full-spectrum stellar population fitting code with variable

Approximations to galaxy star formation rate histories: properties and uses of two examples

open access: yes, 2018
Galaxies evolve via a complex interaction of numerous different physical processes, scales and components. In spite of this, overall trends often appear.

UNCOVER: The Rest-ultraviolet to Near-infrared Multiwavelength Structures and Dust Distributions of Submillimeter-detected Galaxies in A2744

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
With the wavelength coverage, sensitivity, and high spatial resolution of JWST, it is now possible to peer through the dust attenuation to probe the rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) and stellar structures of extremely dusty galaxies at cosmic noon ( z  ∼ 1−
