We characterize the mass-dependent evolution in a large sample of more than 8,000 galaxies using spectroscopic redshifts drawn from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey in the range 0.4 < z < 1.4 and stellar masses calculated from K-band…

We present Keck LRIS spectroscopy for a sample of 103 massive galaxies with redshifts 0.9 < z < 1.6. Of these, 56 are quiescent with high signal-to-noise absorption line spectra, enabling us to determine robust stellar velocity dispersions…

Using a simple two-color selection based on $g$-, $z$-, and $K$-band photometry, we pick out 1609 star-forming galaxies (sgzKs) and 422 passively evolving galaxies (pgzKs) at z\sim2$ from a $K$-band-selected sample ($K_{\rm AB} < 22.0$) in…

We use an adaptation of the BzKs technique to select ~40,000 z~2 galaxies (to K(AB) = 24), including ~5,000 passively evolving (PE) objects (to K(AB) = 23), from 2.5 deg^2 of deep CFTH imaging. The passive galaxy luminosity function…

Despite significant efforts in the recent years, the physical processes responsible for the formation of passive galaxies through cosmic time remain unclear. The shape and evolution of the Stellar Mass Function (SMF) give an insight into…

We investigate the median flattening of galaxies at $0.2<z<4.0$ in all five CANDELS/3D-HST fields via the apparent axis ratio $q$. We separate the sample into bins of redshift, stellar-mass, s\'ersic index, size, and UVJ determined…

We present the evolution in the number density and stellar mass functions of photometrically selected post-starburst galaxies in the UKIDSS Deep Survey (UDS), with redshifts of 0.5<z<2 and stellar masses logM>10. We find that this…

Massive compact systems at 0.2<z<0.6 are the missing link between the predominantly compact population of massive quiescent galaxies at high redshift and their analogs and relics in the local volume. The evolution in number density of these…

We present evidence for a strong relationship between galaxy size and environment for the quiescent population in the redshift range 1 < z < 2. Environments were measured using projected galaxy overdensities on a scale of 400 kpc, as…

We study the relationship between the morphology and star formation history (SFH) of 361 quiescent galaxies (QGs) at redshift $\langle z_{obs}\rangle\approx 2$, with stellar mass $\log M_*\ge10.3$, selected with the UVJ technique. Taking…

The presence of massive, compact, quiescent galaxies at z>2 presents a major challenge for theoretical models of galaxy formation and evolution. Using one of the deepest large public near-IR surveys to date, we investigate in detail the…

We use the UKIDSS Ultra-deep survey (UDS), currently the deepest panoramic near infra-red survey, together with deep Subaru optical imaging to measure the clustering, number counts and luminosity function of galaxies at $z\sim 2$ selected…

The populations of both quiescent and actively star-forming galaxies at 1<z<2 are still under-represented in our spectroscopic census of galaxies throughout the history of the Universe. In the light of galaxy formation models, however, the…

Stellar kinematics provide insights into the masses and formation histories of galaxies. At high redshifts, spatially resolving the stellar kinematics of quiescent galaxies is challenging due to their compact sizes. Using deep near-infrared…

We use the stellar-mass-selected catalog from the Spitzer Large Area Survey with Hyper-Suprime-Cam (SPLASH) in the COSMOS field to study the environments of galaxies via galaxy density and clustering analyses up to $z \sim 2.5$. The…

We investigate a large sample of massive galaxies at $z\sim1$ with combined $HST$ broad-band and grism observations to constrain the star-formation histories of these systems as they transition from a star-forming state to quiescence. Among…

We explore the buildup of quiescent galaxies using a sample of 28,469 massive ($M_\star \ge 10^{11}$M$_\odot$) galaxies at redshifts $1.5<z<3.0$, drawn from a 17.5 deg$^2$ area (0.33 Gpc$^3$ comoving volume at these redshifts). This allows…

We present the results of a systematic search for candidate quiescent galaxies in the distant Universe in eleven $JWST$ fields with publicly available observations collected during the first three months of operations and covering an…

We analyze the stellar populations of a sample of 62 massive (log Mstar/Msun > 10.7) galaxies in the redshift range 1 < z < 1.6, with the main goal of investigating the role of recent quenching in the size growth of quiescent galaxies. We…

We use a deep K(AB)<25 galaxy sample in the Hubble Deep Field South to trace the evolution of the cosmological stellar mass density from z~ 0.5 to z~3. We find clear evidence for a decrease of the average stellar mass density at high…
