This is the first exploration of the galaxy distribution function at redshifts greater than about 0.1. Redshifts are based on the North and South GOODS Catalogs. In each catalog we examine clustering in the two redshift bands 0.47 < z < 0.8…
We present a statistical study of the redshift evolution of the cluster galaxy population over a wide redshift range from 0.1 to 1.1, using $\sim 1900$ optically-selected CAMIRA clusters from $\sim 232$~deg$^2$ of the Hyper Suprime-Cam…
The luminosity function of galaxies is derived from a cosmological hydrodynamic simulation of a Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) universe with the aid of a stellar population synthesis model. At z=0, the resulting B band luminosity function…
We use recent observations of high-redshift galaxies to study the evolution of galactic disks over the redshift range 0<z<1. The data are inconsistent with models in which disks were already assembled at z=1 and have evolved only in…
Based on magnitudes and Petrosian radii from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, data release 7) at low redhift (z <0.2), we developed a test of galaxy-size evolution. For this first quantitative size analysis using SDSS data, several…
We report redshifts, magnitudes and morphological classifications for 5369 galaxies with $m_B \leq 15.5$ and 57 galaxies fainter than this limit, in two regions covering a total of 1.70 steradians in the southern celestial hemisphere. The…
The evolution of high redshift galaxies in the two Hubble Deep Fields, HDF-N and HDF-S, is investigated using a cloning technique that replicates z~ 2-3 U dropouts to higher redshifts, allowing a comparison with the observed B and V…
We present the evolution of the color-magnitude distribution of galaxy clusters from z = 0.45 to z = 0.9 using a homogeneously selected sample of ~1000 clusters drawn from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS). The red fraction of galaxies…
Photometric redshifts are commonly used to measure the distribution of galaxies in large surveys. However, the demands of ongoing and future large-scale cosmology surveys place very stringent limits on the redshift performance that are…
(Abridged) We explore the evolution of field early-type galaxies on a sample extracted from GOODS/CDFS. The galaxies are selected by means of a non-parametric analysis followed by visual inspection. We exclude those galaxies which are not…
The Spitzer Space Telescope is devoting a significant fraction of the observing time to multi-wavelength cosmological surveys of different depths in various low-background sky regions. Several tens of thousand mid-IR galaxies have been…
A tight positive correlation between the stellar mass and the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies has been observed at low redshifts. The redshift evolution of this correlation can strongly constrain theories of galaxy evolution. The advent…
We use the very deep and homogeneous I-band selected dataset of the FORS Deep Field (FDF) to trace the evolution of the luminosity function over the redshift range 0.5 < z < 5.0. We show that the FDF I-band selection down to I(AB)=26.8…
We present results from a large area (552\,\sqamin) imaging $K$-band survey to a 5$\sigma$ limit of $K\simeq 17.3$. We have optical-infrared colours of almost all the objects in the sample. Star-galaxy discrimination is performed and the…
Measuring the evolution in the clustering of galaxies over a large redshift range is a challenging problem. For a two-dimensional galaxy catalog, however, we can measure the galaxy-galaxy angular correlation function which provides…
Using simulations we demonstrate that some of the published redshift distributions of submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) at different wavelengths, which were previously reported to be statistically different, are consistent with a parent…
Several conclusions have been reached over the last few years concerning high-redshift galaxies: (1) The excess of faint blue galaxies is due to dwarf galaxies. (2) Star formation peaks at redshifts z ~1-2. (3) It appears to occur piecemeal…
Measuring the evolution in the clustering of galaxies over a large redshift range is a challenging problem. We have developed a new technique which uses photometric redshifts to measure the angular correlation function in redshift shells.…
Photometric galaxy surveys are an essential tool to further our understanding of the large-scale structure of the universe, its matter and energy content and its evolution. These surveys necessitate the determination of the galaxy redshifts…
K band observations of the galaxy populations of three high redshift (z=0.8-1.0), X-ray selected, massive clusters are presented. The observations reach a depth of K = 21.5, corresponding to K*+3.5 mag. The evolution of the galaxy…
