A Significant Population of Very Luminous Dust-Obscured Galaxies at Redshift z ~ 2
Arjun Dey,B. T. Soifer,Vandana Desai,K. Brand,Emeric Le Floc'h,Michael J. I. Brown,Buell T. Jannuzi,Lee Armus,R. Shane Bussmann,Mark Brodwin,C. Bian,Peter Eisenhardt,Sarah J.U. Higdon,Daniel W. Weedman,Steven P. Willner +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method for selecting high-redshift (z ~ 2) dust-obscured galaxies based solely on the ratio of the observed mid-infrared 24 μm to optical R-band flux density was presented.

A Significant Population of Very Luminous Dust-Obscured Galaxies at Redshift z ~ 2
Arjun Dey,B. T. Soifer,Vandana Desai,Kate Brand,Emeric LeFloc'h,Michael J. I. Brown,Buell T. Jannuzi,Lee Armus,Shane Bussmann,Mark Brodwin,C. Bian,Peter Eisenhardt,Sarah J.U. Higdon,Daniel W. Weedman,S. P. Willner +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method for selecting high-z population based solely on the ratio of the observed mid-IR 24um to optical R-band flux density was presented, revealing a significant population of high-redshift z~2 dust-obscured galaxies (DOGs) with large midIR to UV luminosity ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of the star formation activity in galaxies and its dependence on environment
Bianca M. Poggianti,A. von der Linden,G. De Lucia,Vandana Desai,Luc Simard,C. Halliday,Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca,Richard G. Bower,Jesús A. Varela,Philip Best,D. Clowe,Julianne J. Dalcanton,Pascale Jablonka,Bo Milvang-Jensen,R. Pello,G. Rudnick,Roberto P. Saglia,Simon D. M. White,Dennis Zaritsky +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied how the proportion of star-forming galaxies evolves between z = 0.4-0.8 and z=0 as a function of galaxy environment using the [OII] line in emission as a signature of ongoing star formation.

TL;DR: The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) as mentioned in this paper is a new time-domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg^2 field of view and an 8 second readout time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing the relation between star formation and galaxy mass in different environments
Benedetta Vulcani,Bianca M. Poggianti,Rose Finn,Gregory Rudnick,Vandana Desai,Steven P. Bamford +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the ongoing star formation rate (SFR) and specific Star Formation Rate (SSFR) as a function of stellar mass in galaxy clusters and groups, and compare these with results from field studies.
