Journal ArticleDOI
The Major and Minor Galaxy Merger Rates at z < 1.5
Jennifer M. Lotz,Patrik Jonsson,Thomas J. Cox,Darren J. Croton,Joel R. Primack,Rachel S. Somerville,Kyle R. Stewart +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cosmologically-averaged timescale hTobs(z)i is used to estimate the galaxy merger rate for close galaxy pairs with a range of projected separations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolving luminosity function of red galaxies
Michael J. I. Brown,Michael J. I. Brown,Arjun Dey,Buell T. Jannuzi,Kate Brand,Andrew J. Benson,Andrew J. Benson,Mark Brodwin,Darren J. Croton,Peter R. Eisenhardt +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the assembly history of red galaxies since z = 1 by measuring their evolving space density with the B-band luminosity function, which is consistent with star-forming galaxies being transformed into L* red galaxies after a decline in their star formation rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical analysis of galaxy surveys – I. Robust error estimation for two-point clustering statistics
TL;DR: In this paper, a test of different error estimators for two-point clustering statistics, appropriate for present and future large galaxy redshift surveys using an ensemble of very large dark matter ACDM N-body simulations, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Spitzer Extended Deep Survey (SEDS) is a very deep infrared survey within five well-known extragalactic science fields: the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey, the Extended Chandra Deep Field South, COSMOS, the Hubble Deep Field North, and the Extended Groth Strip.
