The search for the missing baryons at low redshift

JN Bregman - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
At low redshift, only about one-tenth of the known baryons lie in galaxies or the hot gas seen
in galaxy clusters and groups. Models posit that these “missing baryons” are in gaseous …

The reversal of the star formation-density relation in the distant universe

D Elbaz, E Daddi, D Le Borgne, M Dickinson… - Astronomy & …, 2007 - aanda.org
Aims. We study the relationship between the local environment of galaxies and their star
formation rate (SFR) in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, GOODS, at. Methods …

K-corrections and filter transformations in the ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared

MR Blanton, S Roweis - The Astronomical Journal, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
Template fits to observed galaxy fluxes allow calculation of K-corrections and conversions
among observations of galaxies at various wavelengths. We present a method for creating …

Galaxy luminosity functions to z~ 1 from DEEP2 and COMBO-17: implications for red galaxy formation

SM Faber, CNA Willmer, C Wolf, DC Koo… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
The DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are compared to study luminosity functions of red and
blue galaxies to z~ 1. The two surveys have different methods and sensitivities, but …

The calibration of mid-infrared star formation rate indicators

D Calzetti, RC Kennicutt, CW Engelbracht… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
With the goal of investigating the degree to which the MIR emission traces the SFR, we
analyze Spitzer 8 and 24 μm data of star-forming regions in a sample of 33 nearby galaxies …

The GALEX ultraviolet atlas of nearby galaxies

AG De Paz, S Boissier, BF Madore… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We present images, integrated photometry, and surface-brightness and color profiles for a
total of 1034 nearby galaxies recently observed by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) …

The UV-optical galaxy color-magnitude diagram. I. Basic properties

TK Wyder, DC Martin, D Schiminovich… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We have analyzed the bivariate distribution of galaxies as a function of ultraviolet-optical
colors and absolute magnitudes in the local universe. The sample consists of galaxies with …

How special are brightest group and cluster galaxies?

A Von Der Linden, PN Best… - Monthly Notices of …, 2007 - academic.oup.com
Abstract We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to construct a sample of 625 brightest
group and cluster galaxies (BCGs) together with control samples of non-BCGs matched in …

Clues to the origin of the mass-metallicity relation: Dependence on star formation rate and galaxy size

SL Ellison, DR Patton, L Simard… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We use a sample of 43,690 galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data
Release 4 to study the systematic effects of specific star formation rate (SSFR) and galaxy …

The UV-optical galaxy color-magnitude diagram. III. Constraints on evolution from the blue to the red sequence

DC Martin, TK Wyder, D Schiminovich… - The Astrophysical …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We introduce a new quantity, the mass flux density of galaxies evolving from the blue
sequence to the red sequence. We propose a simple technique for constraining this mass …
