Analyzing 24 mu m MIPS/Spitzer data and the [O II]3727 line of a sample of galaxies at 0.4 < z < 0.8 from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS), we investigate the ongoing star formation rate (SFR) and the specific star formation rate…
We use a sample of 43,690 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 to study the systematic effects of specific star formation rate (SSFR) and galaxy size (as measured by the half light radius, r_h) on the…
We present a formalism to infer the presence of merging by comparing the time derivative of the observed galaxy stellar mass function (MF) to the change of the MF expected from the star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies as a function of mass…
A change in the mass of the Galaxy with time will leave its imprint on the motions of the stars, with stars having radially outward (mass loss) or inward (mass accretion) bulk motions. Here we test the feasibility of using the mean radial…
The slope of the star formation rate/stellar mass relation (the SFR "Main Sequence"; ${\rm SFR}-M_*$) is not quite unity: specific star formation rates $({\rm SFR}/M_*)$ are weakly-but-significantly anti-correlated with $M_*$. Here we…
It has been argued that the specific star formation rates of star forming galaxies inferred from observational data decline more rapidly below z = 2 than is predicted by hierarchical galaxy formation models. We present a detailed analysis…
In $\Lambda$CDM cosmology, galaxies form and evolve in their host dark matter (DM) halos. Halo mass is crucial for understanding the halo-galaxy connection. The abundance matching (AM) technique has been widely used to derive the halo…
We use an empirical approach to model the stellar mass of galaxies according to their host dark-matter haloes and subhaloes ('HASH'), where each galaxy resides in a subhalo taken from a large N-body cosmological simulation. This approach…
Galactic outflows driven by supernovae (SNe) are thought to be a powerful regulator of a galaxy's star-forming efficiency. Mass, energy, and metal outflows ($\eta_M$, $\eta_E$, and $\eta_Z$, here normalized by the star formation rate, the…
The relationship between galaxy star formation rates (SFR) and stellar masses ($M_\ast$) is re-examined using a mass-selected sample of $\sim$62,000 star-forming galaxies at $z \le 1.3$ in the COSMOS 2-deg$^2$ field. Using new far-infrared…
We present a new method to estimate the average star formation rate per unit stellar mass (SSFR) of a stacked population of galaxies. We combine the spectra of 600-1000 galaxies with similar stellar masses and parameterise the star…
We explore a large uniformly selected sample of H${\alpha}$ selected star-forming galaxies (SFGs) at z=0.40,0.84,1.47,2.23 to unveil the evolution of the star formation rate (SFR) function and the stellar mass function. We find strong…
We measure the stellar mass-star formation rate relation in star-forming disk galaxies at z<0.085, using Galaxy~Zoo morphologies to examine different populations of spirals as classified by their kiloparsec-scale structure. We examine the…
We present a comprehensive analysis of the observed Stellar-to-Halo mass relationship (SHMR) spanning redshifts from 0.2 to 4.5. This was enabled through galaxy clustering and abundance measurements from two large (effective area ~ 1.61…
We examine the star formation rates (SFRs) of galaxies in a redshift slice encompassing the z=0.834 cluster RX J0152.7-1357. We used a low-dispersion prism in the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph (IMACS) to identify galaxies…
We present a photometric halo mass estimation technique for local galaxies that enables us to establish the stellar mass-halo mass (SMHM) relation down to stellar masses of 10$^5$ M$_\odot$. We find no detectable differences among the SMHM…
In this paper, we report a robust measurement of the morphology, color and galaxy size dependences of the stellar-halo mass relation (SHMR) at the high mass end ($10^{11.3}{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_{\star}<10^{11.7}{\rm M_{\odot}}$) at redshift…
We study relation between stellar mass and halo mass for high-mass halos using a sample of galaxy clusters with accurate measurements of stellar masses from optical and IR data and total masses from X-ray observations. We find that stellar…
We present a comprehensive study of the relationship between star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass (M_*) from z = 0.1 to z = 4 using a mass-complete sample of approximately 290,000 galaxies from the COSMOS2020 catalog. We find that the…
We explore the possibility of measuring the mass accretion rate (MAR) of galaxy clusters from their mass profiles beyond the virial radius $R_{200}$. We derive the accretion rate from the mass of a spherical shell whose inner radius is…
