We study the properties of galaxies at z=2 in a Lambda cold dark matter universe, using two different types of hydrodynamic simulation methods -- Eulerian TVD and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) -- and a spectrophotometric analysis in…

We report results from a search for massive and evolved galaxies at z>5 in the GOODS southern field. Combining HST ACS, VLT ISAAC and Spitzer IRAC photometric data, we develop a color selection technique to identify candidates for being…

We study the photometric properties of Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) formed by redshift z=3 in a set of large cosmological smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations of the Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) model. Our numerical simulations…

Recent observations have revealed a population of red massive galaxies at high redshift which are challenging to explain in hierarchical galaxy formation models. We analyze this ``massive galaxy problem'' with two different types of…

Using the deep multi-wavelength MUSYC, GOODS, and FIRES surveys we construct a stellar mass-limited sample of galaxies at 2<z<3. The sample comprises 294 galaxies with M>10^11 Solar masses distributed over four independent fields with a…

We perform a spectrophotometric analysis of galaxies at redshifts z = 4 - 6 in cosmological SPH simulations of a Lambda CDM universe. Our models include radiative cooling and heating by a uniform UV background, star formation, supernova…

Using state-of-the-art adaptive mesh refinement cosmological hydrodynamic simulations with a spatial resolution of proper 0.21kpc/h in refined subregions embedded within a comoving cosmological volume (27.4Mpc/h)^3, we investigate the sizes…

We study the morphologies and sizes of galaxies at z>5 using high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations from the Feedback In Realistic Environments project. The galaxies show a variety of morphologies, from compact to clumpy to…

We study the growth of massive galaxies from z=2 to the present using data from the NEWFIRM Medium Band Survey. The sample is selected at a constant number density of n=2x10^-4 Mpc^-3, so that galaxies at different epochs can be compared in…

We have exploited the large area coverage of the combined UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) and Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS) to search for bright Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) at z >= 5. Using the available optical+near-infrared…

We study the physical characteristics of galaxies at 6.3 < z < 8.6, selected from deep near-infrared imaging with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Accounting for the photometric scatter using simulations,…

We present a detailed analysis of the stellar mass content of galaxies up to z=2.5 in the K20 galaxy sample, that has a 92% spectroscopic completeness and a complete $UBVRIzJK_s$ multicolor coverage. We find that the M/L ratio decreases…

Using Extreme Value Statistics applied to the observed galaxy stellar mass and the UV luminosity functions, we empirically estimate masses and luminosities of the most extreme galaxies in cosmological surveys, including the full sky. We…

We report the discovery of a substantial population of star--forming galaxies at $3.0 \simlt z \simlt 3.5$. These galaxies have been selected using color criteria sensitive to the presence of a Lyman continuum break superposed on an…

We recently identified a substantial population of galaxies at z>2 with red rest-frame optical colors. These distant red galaxies (DRGs) are efficiently selected by the simple observed color criterion J-K>2.3. In this paper we present NIR…

We present the results of a numerical adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamical and N-body simulation in a $\Lambda CDM$ cosmology. We focus on the analysis of the main properties of massive galaxies ($M_* > 10^{11}\,M_{\odot}$) at $z=0$. For…

We present the broad-band UV through mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of a sample of 72 spectroscopically-confirmed star-forming galaxies at z=2.30+/-0.3. Located in a 72 arcmin-squared field centered on the bright…

We report on the identification of the old stellar population galaxy candidates at z > 5. We developed a new infrared color selection scheme to isolate galaxies with the strong Balmer breaks at z > 5, and applied it to the ultra-deep and…

Using a simple color selection based on B-, z- and K-band photometry, BzK= (z-K)_AB-(B-z)_AB>-0.2, we picked out 52 star-forming galaxies at 1.4<z<2.5 (sBzKs) from a K-band selected sample (K_Vega<22.0) in an area of ~5.5 arcmin^2 of the…

We study the formation and evolution of Brightest Cluster Galaxies starting from a $z=2$ population of quiescent ellipticals and following them to $z=0$. To this end, we use a suite of nine high-resolution dark matter-only simulations of…
