AbstractAt redshift z~1.7 the Universe was at the peak of its star-formation activity. It is thus a puzzle why some galaxies, many of them very massive (M* ⩾ 1011 M⊙), had already chosen to stop forming stars. These ultra-massive galaxies, guaranteed to be the central galaxies of their host dark matter halos, must have attained very high rates of star formation to assemble their stellar masses in such a short amount of time. Using the largest (to date) K-selected gzKs survey of passive galaxies (in an effective area of ~ 27.5 deg2) we study the demographics of these dead monsters, hoping to help understand the quenching mechanism that shut them down.

AbstractWe present a model for the evolution of the galaxy ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF) where star formation is linked to the assembly of dark matter halos under the assumption of a mass dependent, but redshift independent, efficiency. With a calibration at a single redshift, and no further degrees of freedom, our model captures the evolution of the UV LF over all available observations (0≲ z ≲ 10). We make predictions for reionization and future high-redshift surveys with JWST and WFIRST.

AbstractWe review our recent work on the formation and evolution of disks within triaxial dark matter (DM) halos by means of numerical simulations, including star formation and feedback from stellar evolution. The growing disks are strongly influenced by shapes of DM halos and modify them in turn. Disk parameters are in a broad agreement with those in the local universe. Gas-rich stellar bars grow in tandem with the disk and facilitate the angular momentum redistribution in the system and radial gas inflow. Nested bars appear to form as a by-product. Interactions between various non-axisymmetric components—bars, disks and halos lead to decay of bars or washing out of ellipticity in the inner halo.

AbstractIn cold dark matter cosmologies, the most massive dark matter halos are predicted to undergo rapid growth at z < 1. While there is the expectation that massive galaxies will also rapidly grow via merging, recent observational studies conclude that the stellar masses of the most massive galaxies grow by just ~ 30% at z < 1. We have used the observed space density and clustering of z < 1 red galaxies in Boötes to determine how these galaxies populate dark matter halos. In the most massive dark matter halos, central galaxy stellar mass is proportional to halo mass to the power of a ~1/3 and much of the stellar mass resides within satellite galaxies. As a consequence, the most massive galaxies grow slowly even though they reside within rapidly growing dark matter halos.

AbstractLong gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can be linked to the massive stars and their host galaxies are assumed to be the star-forming galaxies within small dark matter halos. We apply a galaxy evolution model, in which the star formation process inside the virialized dark matter halo at a given redshift is achieved. The star formation rates (SFRs) in the GRB host galaxies at different redshifts can be derived from our model. The related stellar masses, luminosities, and metalicities of these GRB host galaxies are estimated. We also calculate the X-ray and optical absorption of GRB afterglow emission. At higher redshift, the SFR of host galaxy is stronger, and the absorption in the X-ray and optical bands of GRB afterglow is stronger, when the dust and metal components are locally released, surrounding the GRB environment. These model predictions are compared with some observational data as well.

AbstractWe investigate why hydrodynamical numerical simulations have difficulties (Weinmann et al. 2011) in reproducing the Main Sequence (MS) of star-forming galaxies, i.e. the fact that galaxies forming stars lie on a tight power law sequence in the stellar mass (M*), star formation rate (SFR) plane (Schreiber et al. 2015). Instead of trying to improve the agreement of simulations with the observations by modifying the subgrid recipes of baryons, we take here a step back to check whether the accretion onto dark matter halos is consistent with the existence of the main sequence of star forming galaxies.
