The evolution of galaxies during the first billion years.
Evolution of galaxies is relatively well known up to z ~ 5, but beyond this limit and regarding the few number of galaxies confirmed by spectroscopy, their...
The Evolution of quiescent galaxies at high-z: towards the high-mass end of the GSMF
In this talk we will show the evolution of high-redshift (z≥ 1.4) quiescent galaxies in the COSMOS field. We have studied an IRAC (mag 3.6 μm < 22.0) selected...
The formation of Milky Way-mass galactic disc structure in cosmological simulations
Recent years have seen impressive development in cosmological simulations for spiral disc galaxies like the Milky Way. I present a suite of high-resolution...
Although the name 'fundamental metallicity relation' (FMR) may sound a bit bombastic, it really represents a fundamental relation in the sense of revealing a...
This talk will address the preferred mass and time for galaxy formation, in dark-matter haloes similar to that of the Milky way but when the Universe was a few...
The Hierarchical Bayesian Approach to Galaxy Demographics
In the study of galaxy evolution, we do not care about the physical parameters of any one galaxy: we care instead about the distribution of galaxies in physical...
The Hierarchical Origins of Observed Galaxy Morphology
The origin of galaxy morphology has to be seen in the context of the hierarchical build up of structure and baryons expected in a CDM Universe. Star formation...
The huge (but forgotten) population of weak line galaxies in the SDSS: AGN or just retired galaxies
This talk is divided into two related parts. First, we will call your attention to a basic, but often overlooked worrying fact, and presents ways of dealing...
The Hunting of relic galaxies in the Nearby Universe
As early as 10 Gyr ago, galaxies with more than 10^11 M* in stars already existed. While most of these massive galaxies must have subsequently transformed...
