CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey

Norman A. Grogin, +108 more
TL;DR: The Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) as discussed by the authors was designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, from z approx. 8 - 1.5 to test their accuracy as standard candles for cosmology.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Average Star Formation Histories of Galaxies in Dark Matter Halos from z = 0-8

TL;DR: In this article, a robust method to constrain average galaxy star formation rates, star formation histories (SFHs), and the intracluster light (ICL) as a function of halo mass is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Candels: The cosmic assembly near-infrared deep extragalactic legacy survey - The hubble space telescope observations, imaging data products, and mosaics

Anton M. Koekemoer, +124 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the Hubble Space Telescope imaging data products and data reduction procedures for the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS).
Journal ArticleDOI

CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey - The Hubble Space Telescope Observations, Imaging Data Products and Mosaics

Anton M. Koekemoer, +122 more
TL;DR: The Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) as mentioned in this paper was designed to document the evolution of galaxies and black holes at $z\sim 1.5-8$, and to study Type Ia SNe beyond $z>1.5.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concentrations of Dark Halos from Their Assembly Histories

TL;DR: In this article, the relation between the density profiles of dark matter halos and their mass assembly histories was studied using a statistical sample of halos in a high-resolution N-body simulation of the ΛCDM cosmology.
