Evolution of red-sequence cluster galaxies from redshift 0.8 to 0.4: ages, metallicities, and morphologies

Pascale Jablonka

We present a comprehensive analysis of the stellar population properties and morphologies of red-sequence galaxies in 24 clusters and groups from z similar to 0.75 to z similar to 0.45. The dataset, consisting of 215 spectra drawn from the ESO Distant Clus ...

A Population of Compact Elliptical Galaxies Detected with the Virtual Observatory

Yves Revaz

Compact elliptical galaxies are characterized by small sizes and high stellar densities. They are thought to form through tidal stripping of massive progenitors. However, only a handful of them were known, preventing us from understanding the role played b ...

LESS THAN 10 PERCENT OF STAR FORMATION IN z similar to 0.6 MASSIVE GALAXIES IS TRIGGERED BY MAJOR INTERACTIONS

Both observations and simulations show that major tidal interactions or mergers between gas-rich galaxies can lead to intense bursts of star formation. Yet, the average enhancement in star formation rate (SFR) in major mergers and the contribution of such ...

Barred Galaxies In The Abell 901/2 Supercluster With Stages

We present a study of bar and host disk evolution in a dense cluster environment, based on a sample of similar to 800 bright (M-V

The dynamical and chemical evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Pascale Jablonka, Yves Revaz

We present a large sample of fully self-consistent hydrodynamical Nbody/Tree-SPH simulations of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). It has enabled us to identify the key physical parameters and mechanisms at the origin of the observed variety in th ...

The STAGES view of red spirals and dusty red galaxies: mass-dependent quenching of star formation in cluster infall

We investigate the properties of optically passive spirals and dusty red galaxies in the A901/2 cluster complex at redshift similar to 0.17 using rest-frame near-ultraviolet-optical spectral energy distributions, 24-mu m infrared data and Hubble Space Tele ...

Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Oxford2009

Post-starburst (E+A or k+a) spectra, characterized by their exceptionally strong Balmer lines in absorption and the lack of emission lines, belong to galaxies in which the star formation (SF) activity ended abruptly sometime during the past Gyr. We perform ...

Simulation of the cosmic evolution of atomic and molecular hydrogen in galaxies

Danail Obreschkow

We present a simulation of the cosmic evolution of the atomic and molecular phases of the cold hydrogen gas in about 3x10^7 galaxies, obtained by postprocessing the virtual galaxy catalog produced by De Lucia & Blaizot on the Millennium Simulation of cosmi ...

American Astronomical Society2009

We explore the amount of obscured star formation as a function of environment in the Abell 901/902 (A901/902) supercluster at z = 0.165 in conjunction with a field sample drawn from the A901 and CDFS fields, imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope as part o ...

Chemical composition of extremely metal-poor stars in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Martin Tafelmeyer

Context. Individual stars in dwarf spheroidal galaxies around the Milky Way Galaxy have been studied both photometrically and spectroscopically. Extremely metal-poor stars among them are very valuable because they should record the early enrichment in the ...
