The propagation of uncertainties in stellar population synthesis modeling. I. The relevance of uncertain aspects of stellar evolution and the initial mass function to the …

C Conroy, JE Gunn, M White - The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The stellar masses, mean ages, metallicities, and star formation histories of galaxies are
now commonly estimated via stellar population synthesis (SPS) techniques. SPS relies on …

A cosmological framework for the co-evolution of quasars, supermassive black holes, and elliptical galaxies. I. Galaxy mergers and quasar activity

PF Hopkins, L Hernquist, TJ Cox… - The Astrophysical …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a model for the cosmological role of mergers in the evolution of starbursts,
quasars, and spheroidal galaxies. By combining theoretically well-constrained halo and …

A semi-analytic model for the co-evolution of galaxies, black holes and active galactic nuclei

RS Somerville, PF Hopkins, TJ Cox… - Monthly Notices of …, 2008 - academic.oup.com
We present a new semi-analytic model that self-consistently traces the growth of
supermassive black holes (BH) and their host galaxies within the context of the Lambda cold …

Mass assembly in quiescent and star-forming galaxies since z≃ 4 from UltraVISTA

We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function and stellar mass density for star-forming and
quiescent galaxies with 0.2< z< 4. We construct a large, deep (K s< 24) sample of 220 000 …

PRIMUS: constraints on star formation quenching and galaxy merging, and the evolution of the stellar mass function from z= 0–1

We measure the evolution of the stellar mass function (SMF) from z= 0–1 using multi-
wavelength imaging and spectroscopic redshifts from the PRism MUlti-object Survey …

The Horizon-AGN simulation: evolution of galaxy properties over cosmic time

S Kaviraj, C Laigle, T Kimm… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We compare the predictions of Horizon-AGN, a hydrodynamical cosmological simulation
that uses an adaptive mesh refinement code, to observational data in the redshift range 0< …

Galaxy groups in the SDSS DR4. I. The catalog and basic properties

X Yang, HJ Mo, FC Van den Bosch… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We use a modified version of the halo-based group finder developed by Yang et al. to select
galaxy groups from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR4). In the first step, a combination …

Galaxy luminosity functions to z~ 1 from DEEP2 and COMBO-17: implications for red galaxy formation

SM Faber, CNA Willmer, C Wolf, DC Koo… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
The DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are compared to study luminosity functions of red and
