What turns galaxies off? The different morphologies of star-forming and quiescent galaxies since z~2 from CANDELS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We use HST/WFC3 imaging from the CANDELS Multicycle Treasury Survey, in conjunction with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, to explore the evolution of galactic structure for galaxies with stellar masses >3e10M_sun from z=2.2 to the present epoch, a time span

The Way to Quench: Galaxy Evolution in A2142

open access: yesResearch in Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2023
Abstract We show how the star formation activity of galaxies is progressively inhibited from the outer region to the center of the massive cluster A2142. From an extended spectroscopic redshift survey of 2239 galaxies covering a circular area of radius ∼11 Mpc from the cluster center, we extract a sample of 333 galaxies with known ...

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

The SAGA Survey. IV. The Star Formation Properties of 101 Satellite Systems around Milky Way–mass Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the star-forming properties of 378 satellite galaxies around 101 Milky Way analogs in the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey, focusing on the environmental processes that suppress or quench star formation.

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

open access: yesBioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

Revealing the Impact of Critical Stellar Central Density on Galaxy Quenching through Cosmic Time

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In a previous work, we investigated the structural and environmental dependence on quenching in the nearby universe. In this work, we extend our investigations to higher redshifts by combining galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and The FourStar ...

What Does Clustering Tell Us About the Buildup of the Red Sequence?

open access: yes, 2009
We analyze the clustering of red and blue galaxies from four samples spanning a redshift range of 0 ...

Star formation and quenching among the most massive galaxies at z~1.7 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We have conducted a detailed object-by-object study of a mass-complete (M*>10^11 M_sun) sample of 56 galaxies at 1.4 < z < 2 in the GOODS-South field, showing that an accurate de-blending in MIPS/24um images is essential to properly assign to each galaxy

THE MASS DEPENDENCE OF DWARF SATELLITE GALAXY QUENCHING [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2014
We combine observations of the Local Group with data from the NASA-Sloan Atlas to show the variation in the quenched fraction of satellite galaxies from low mass dwarf spheroidals and dwarf irregulars to more massive dwarfs similar to the Magellanic clouds.
