We study the stellar mass assembly of galaxies via the stellar mass function (SMF) and the coevolution with dark matter halos via abundance matching in the...

Context. Empirical libraries of stellar spectra play an important role in different fields. For example, they are used as reference for the automatic...

Over the last few decades, evolutionary population synthesis models have powered an unmatched leap forward in our understanding of galaxies. From dating the age...

Environmental statistics provide a necessary means of comparing the properties of galaxies in different environments, and a vital test of models of galaxy...

Cosmological N-body simulations provide numerical predictions of the structure of the Universe against which to compare data from ongoing and future surveys...

Lenticular galaxies (S0s) represent the majority of early-type galaxies in the local Universe, but their formation channels are still poorly understood. While...

We present the measurement of the two-point cross-correlation function (CCF) of 8198 Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 quasars and 349,608 Data Release 10...

Context. In a probabilistic framework of the interpretation of the initial mass function (IMF), the IMF cannot be arbitrarily normalized to the total mass, ℳ...

Recent observations of galaxy luminosity profiles and dark matter simulations find luminosity and mass distributions characterized by central cusps rather than...
