On the Origin of the Variety of Velocity Dispersion Profiles of Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Observed and simulated galaxies exhibit a significant variation in their velocity dispersion profiles. We examine the inner and outer slopes of stellar velocity dispersion profiles using integral field spectroscopy data from two surveys, SAMI (for z < 0 ...

The Collapse and Formation of Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1975
The ultimate aim of studies of the dynamics of stellar systems is to gain an understanding of why they have the structures that are observed, how they might have formed, and how they might evolve with time. In the case of galaxies, unlike smaller astronomical systems such as stars and star clusters, the problem of understanding their present structure ...

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−

Strategies for Obtaining Robust Spectral Energy Distribution Fitting Parameters for Galaxies at z ∼ 1 and z ∼ 2 in the Absence of Infrared Data

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Robust estimation of star formation rates (SFRs) at higher redshifts ( z ≳ 1) using UV–optical–near-infrared (NIR) photometry is contingent on the ability of spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to constrain the dust attenuation, stellar ...

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

Massive Neutrinos and Galaxy Formation

open access: yes, 1994
We report the most recent results from high-resolution numerical simulations of structure formation in two flat cold+hot dark matter models with neutrino mass densities $\onu=0.2$ and 0.3. We find that structure forms too late in all CDM+HDM models with $
