The significant effects of stellar mass estimation on galaxy pair fractions [PDF]
There exist discrepancies in measurements of the number and evolution of galaxy pairs. The pair fraction appears to be sensitive to both the criteria used to select pair fraction and the methods used to analyze survey data. This paper explores the connection between stellar mass estimation and the pair fraction of galaxies making use of STEEL, the ...

Clustering properties of galaxies selected in stellar mass: Breaking down the link between luminous and dark matter in massive galaxies from z=0 to z=2 [PDF]
We present a study on the clustering of a stellar mass selected sample of 18,482 galaxies with stellar masses M*>10^10M(sun) at redshifts 0 ...

Based on independent shear measurements using the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey/DR8 imaging data, we measure the weak lensing signals around isolated central galaxies (ICGs) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey/DR7 at z ∼ 0.1.

Reconciling observed and simulated stellar halo masses [PDF]
We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies from the FIRE project to evaluate various strategies for estimating the mass of a galaxy's stellar halo from deep, integrated-light images.

High-precision stellar masses and radii measured directly from binaries can effectively calibrate stellar models. However, such a database containing full spectral types and a large range of metallicity is still not fully established. A continuous effort

By using direct N -body numerical simulations, we model the dynamical coevolution of two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the surrounding stars in merging galaxies. In order to investigate how different stellar components evolve during the merger, we

Satellite galaxies in the Illustris-1 simulation: anisotropic locations around relatively isolated hosts [PDF]
We investigate the locations of satellite galaxies in the z = 0 redshift slice of the hydrodynamical Illustris-1 simulation. As expected from previous work, the satellites are distributed anisotropically in the plane of the sky, with a preference for ...

Star formation and the origin of stellar masses [PDF]
AbstractWe present a new model to explain stellar mass distributions in different stellar environments. In our model, the protostar phase is terminated, when the protostellar core embedded in a molecular clump experiences a collision with another star or protostellar clump, which ejects the protostellar core from its parent clump.
