Stellar population diagnostics of elliptical galaxy formation

A Renzini - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Major progress has been achieved in recent years in map** the properties of passively-
evolving, early-type galaxies (ETG) from the local universe all the way to redshift∼ 2. Here …

A stellar mass threshold for quenching of field galaxies

M Geha, MR Blanton, R Yan… - The Astrophysical …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We demonstrate that dwarf galaxies (10 7< M stellar< 10 9 M☉,− 12> M r>− 18) with no
active star formation are extremely rare (< 0.06%) in the field. Our sample is based on the …

D Thomas, C Maraston, K Schawinski… - Monthly Notices of the …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
The environment is known to affect the formation and evolution of galaxies considerably best
visible through the well-known morphology–density relationship. It is less clear, though …

Past, Present, and Future of the Scaling Relations of Galaxies and Active Galactic Nuclei

M D'Onofrio, P Marziani, C Chiosi - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
We review the properties of the established Scaling Relations (SRs) of galaxies and active
galactic nuclei (AGN), focusing on their origin and expected evolution back in time, providing …

The importance of satellite quenching for the build-up of the red sequence of present-day galaxies

FC Van Den Bosch, D Aquino, X Yang… - Monthly Notices of …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
According to the current paradigm, galaxies initially form as disc galaxies at the centres of
their own dark matter haloes. During their subsequent evolution, they may undergo a …

UV continuum slope and dust obscuration from z∼ 6 to z∼ 2: the star formation rate density at high redshift

RJ Bouwens, GD Illingworth, M Franx… - The Astrophysical …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
We provide a systematic measurement of the rest-frame UV continuum slope β over a wide
range in redshift (z∼ 2–6) and rest-frame UV luminosity (0.1 L* z= 3 to 2 L* z= 3) to improve …

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: the relationship between galaxy properties and environment at z∼ 1

MC Cooper, JA Newman, DJ Croton… - Monthly Notices of …, 2006 - academic.oup.com
We study the mean environment of galaxies in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey as a
function of rest-frame colour, luminosity, and [O-ii] 3727-Å equivalent width. The local galaxy …

Mass downsizing and “top-down” assembly of early-type galaxies

A Cimatti, E Daddi, A Renzini - Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2006 - aanda.org
Aims. We present a new analysis of the rest-frame B-band COMBO-17 and DEEP2
luminosity functions (LFs) of early-type galaxies (ETGs) as a function of luminosity and mass …

The build-up of the colour–magnitude relation in galaxy clusters since z∼ 0.8

G De Lucia, BM Poggianti… - Monthly Notices of …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Using galaxy clusters from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey, we study how the distribution of
galaxies along the colour–magnitude relation has evolved since z∼ 0.8. While red …
