Star-forming galaxies at cosmic noon

NM Förster Schreiber, S Wuyts - Annual Review of Astronomy …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
Ever deeper and wider look-back surveys have led to a fairly robust outline of the cosmic

Wet compaction to a blue nugget: a critical phase in galaxy evolution

S Lapiner, A Dekel, J Freundlich… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
We utilize high-resolution cosmological simulations to reveal that high-redshift galaxies tend
to undergo a robust 'wet compaction'event when near a 'golden'stellar mass of. This is a …

Combined CO and dust scaling relations of depletion time and molecular gas fractions with cosmic time, specific star-formation rate, and stellar mass
