“Formation and evolution of galaxies
from UV/optical-NIR surveys”
Lucia PozzettiINAFOsservatorio Astronomico di Bologna
o Why a survey in UV/optical or near-IR ?o Statistical and theoretical instruments (LF, MF, SFH, SMH)
o How derive intrinsic properties (L, M, SF) from observations
o Models of galaxy evolution (Stellar Pop. Synthesis models)
o Models of galaxy formation: Monolithic & Hierarchical
o Local Universe (SDSS & 2dF, 2MASS) o Intermediate and High-z universe (VVDS, Deep2, K20,
GMASS)
o Star e Mass Formation History
Outline
Main steps of a survey:1. Band of selection + multi-band photometry2. Spectroscopy --> redshift is derived from the spectrum (from absorption or emission lines) distance is derived from the redshift and physical properties like Luminosity, Mass, SFR can be determined once the distance is known
Follow the evolution of Follow the evolution of Galaxies from the local to high-z universe to understand their nature:
o how they formedo how they evolveo What are the main physical mecanisms at play and the What are the main physical mecanisms at play and the

Photometric and redshift surveys: Photometric and redshift surveys: a key tool for cosmologya key tool for cosmology
Survey UV/optical vs. near-IR
Advantages of a UV/optical-selected sample (1500-9000 Å):
o Sensitive to the Star Formation / young stellar populations To search star forming objects at low and high-z (LBGs) To probe the optical/UV luminosity function and star
formation history
Telescopes: VLT, Keck, CFHT ... + HST + GALEX
Bands: FUV, NUV, U, B, G,V, R, I, z
Advantages of a near-IR-selected sample (1-5 m):o Less affected by dust extinctiono More sensitive to the stellar mass / old stellar populations To search massive old high-z (z>1) ellipticals (EROs, BzK) To probe the near-IR luminosity function and stellar mass function up to z~2
Telescopes: NTT, VLT, KecK ...+ HST + SPITZER
Bands: J, H, Ks, 3.6, 4.5, 5.4 micron
Galaxies follow a Schechter function:
Parameters depends on galaxy type:
Ellipticals are more luminous and massive
Disks dominate the intermediate/low-luminosity/massive end of LF/MF
Luminosity & Mass Functions
Theoretical base: Press-Schechter for halo formation
Statistical analysis in survey: Vmax, STY, c-method
<--- Luminosity / Mass
Number of sources per units luminosity/mass and volume
Number densities, star formation and mass assembly histories
Given the LFs / MFs / SFFs at different redshifts it is possible to reconstruct: 1- the number density evolution (gal/Mpc3 vs. z)2- the luminosity density evolution (erg/s/Hz/Mpc3 vs. z)3- the star formation history (Msun/yr/Mpc3 vs. z) (Madau/Lilly PLOT)4- the stellar mass assembly history (Msun/Mpc3 vs. z)
Stellar Mass Density (Dickinson et al. 2003)
Star Formation History (Madau, et al. 1996)
LD + SFH (Madau, Pozzetti, Dickinson 1998)
Photometric Redshifts
The idea, due to Baum (1957), consists in determine the redshift from multi-band photometry valuating the shift using different template of SED
( χ2 SED fitting technique)
Allows to extend galaxy studies beyond the spectroscopic limits (R~25, K~19-20)

Controversial results (Bell et al. 06, van Dokkum 05, Lin et al. 04, see Renzini ‘07 for a review)
VVDS : pair fraction (1+z)m m~4.2- Most conservative: 8% of galaxies in pairs at z~0.8- L* galaxies experienced 0.5 to 1 major merger since z~1- low-z point is important: 2DFGRS, SDSS
De Ravel et al., in prep
Merging from pair fraction
Summary1- Local Universe, redshift <0.2:- Color-magnitude bimodality: ellipticals are old/massive/without SFR spiral are young/low-mass/high SFR
- Star formation increase from high to low mass galaxies
2- redshift = 0.2-1.5- Galaxies have similar properties and densities of local galaxies- Mass and type dependence evolution (downsizing)- Most massive galaxies seem in place up to z=1, formed stars and mass at z>1-2- Less massive/star forming galaxies have assembled mass continuosly and later- Passive evolution below z=0.7-1
3- redshift>1.5-2.- Population of low-mass SF objects (LBGs) “building blocks” of galaxy in HM !?
- Still old ETG massive galaxies but lower densities and superdense compact size evolve into old local ellipticals through dry-merging or envelope accretion- lower mass ETG continue to assembly down to lower redshift (downsizing)- New population of massive SF objects (SF BzK) gas-rich disks can become unstable or major mergers with gas-rich systems with major starburst triggered:- SMG phase characterized by short-lived 0.1 Gyrs) - the concomitant AGN provide enough feedback to quench sf in massive systems
