    Mass-to-light ratios from the fundamental plane of spiral galaxy discs
    The best-fitting two-dimensional plane within the three-dimensional space of spiral galaxy disc observables (rotational velocity vrot, central disc surface...

    Massive Clumps in Local Galaxies: Comparisons with High-redshift Clumps
    Local UV-bright galaxies in the Kiso survey include clumpy systems with kiloparsec-size star complexes that resemble clumpy young galaxies in surveys at high...

    Massive Galaxies in COSMOS: Evolution of Black Hole Versus Bulge Mass but not Versus Total Stellar Mass Over the Last 9 Gyr?
    We constrain the ratio of black hole (BH) mass to total stellar mass of type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the COSMOS survey at 1 z 2. For 10 AGNs at...

    Massive galaxies in Extended Groth Strip (Trujillo+, 2007)
    We use the Palomar Observatory Wide-field Infrared (POWIR)/DEEP-2 survey (Davis et al., 2003, SPIE, Vol. 4834, p. 161; Bundy et al., 2006ApJ...651..120B...

    Massive OB stars at varying Z
    Massive stars play a key role in environments with very different metallicities. To interpret the role of massive stars in these systems we have to know their...

    Massive quiescent galaxies at z 3: A comparison of selection, stellar population, and structural properties with simulation predictions
    We study stellar population and structural properties of massive log (M ⋆/M ⊙) > 11 galaxies at z ≈ 2.7 in the Magneticum and IllustrisTNG hydrodynamical...

    Massive Relic Galaxies Challenge the Co-evolution of Super-massive Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies
    We study a sample of eight massive galaxies that are extreme outliers (3–5σ) in the {M}\bullet ‑ Mbulge local scaling relation. Two of these galaxies are...

    Massive relic galaxies prefer dense environments
    We study the preferred environments of z ˜ 0 massive relic galaxies (M⋆ ≳ 1010 M⊙ galaxies with little or no growth from star formation or mergers since z ˜ 2)...
