In this paper, the galaxy size-mass distribution over the redshift range 0 3 × 10{sup 9} M {sub ☉}, and steep, R{sub eff}∝M{sub ∗}{sup 0.75}, for early-type galaxies with stellar mass > 2 × 10,sup 10} M{sub ǫ, and the intrinsic scattermore is ≲0.2 dex for all galaxy types and redshifts.Abstract:
Spectroscopic+photometric redshifts, stellar mass estimates, and rest-frame colors from the 3D-HST survey are combined with structural parameter measurements from CANDELS imaging to determine the galaxy size-mass distribution over the redshift range 0 3 × 10{sup 9} M {sub ☉}, and steep, R{sub eff}∝M{sub ∗}{sup 0.75}, for early-type galaxies with stellar mass >2 × 10{sup 10} M {sub ☉}. The intrinsic scattermore » is ≲0.2 dex for all galaxy types and redshifts. For late-type galaxies, the logarithmic size distribution is not symmetric but is skewed toward small sizes: at all redshifts and masses, a tail of small late-type galaxies exists that overlaps in size with the early-type galaxy population. The number density of massive (∼10{sup 11} M {sub ☉}), compact (R {sub eff} < 2 kpc) early-type galaxies increases from z = 3 to z = 1.5-2 and then strongly decreases at later cosmic times.« lessread more

Local Analogs for High-redshift Galaxies: Resembling the Physical Conditions of the Interstellar Medium in High-redshift Galaxies
TL;DR: In this article, a sample of local analogs for high-redshift galaxies selected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) was presented, and the physical conditions of the interstellar medium (ISM) in these local analogues resemble those in high redshift galaxies.

The Correlation between Black Hole Mass and Stellar Mass for Classical Bulges and the Cores of Ellipticals
Peixin Zhu,Luis C. Ho,Hua Gao +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the relation between black hole mass and bulge stellar mass by combining classical bulges with the cores of elliptical galaxies and derived the stellar mass of the core of 35 nearby ellipticals with reliably measured black hole masses.

Galactic stellar and substellar initial mass function
TL;DR: A review of the present-day mass function and initial mass function in various components of the Galaxy (disk, spheroid, young, and globular clusters) and in conditions characteristic of early star formation is presented in this paper.
The large-scale structure of the universe
TL;DR: Peebles as discussed by the authors argues that the evolution of the early universe went from a nearly uniform initial state to a progressively more irregular and clumpy universe, based on the largest known structures of the universe.

Energy input from quasars regulates the growth and activity of black holes and their host galaxies
TL;DR: Simulations that simultaneously follow star formation and the growth of black holes during galaxy–galaxy collisions find that, in addition to generating a burst of star formation, a merger leads to strong inflows that feed gas to the supermassive black hole and thereby power the quasar.
