A 6% measurement of the Hubble parameter at z∼ 0.45: direct evidence of the epoch of cosmic re-acceleration
Deriving the expansion history of the Universe is a major goal of modern cosmology. To
date, the most accurate measurements have been obtained with Type Ia Supernovae (SNe) …

A highly consistent framework for the evolution of the star-forming “main sequence” from z∼ 0–6
Using a compilation of 25 studies from the literature, we investigate the evolution of the star-
forming galaxy (SFG) main sequence (MS) in stellar mass and star formation rate (SFR) out …

Breaking the hierarchy of galaxy formation
Recent observations of the distant Universe suggest that much of the stellar mass of bright
galaxies was already in place at z> 1. This presents a challenge for models of galaxy …
