CDS interface

CDS interface, Data, Data Release, for Astronomers, Outreach

  An interface has been developed by CDS to easily access and browse the images that have been used by ASTRODEEP, and the catalogues that we have derived from them. The interface is free and can be accessed from any browser on this webpage....

Simulated images

Simulations

We have produced a set of simulated images with E. Bertin’s public software SkyMaker starting from the EGG-generated catalogues. The method is described in ASTRODEEP_Simulations. The simulated datasets can be found here (password...

A reassessment of the redshift distribution and physical properties of luminous (sub-)millimetre galaxies

Science

Motivated by the current controversy over the redshift distribution and physical properties of luminous (sub-)mm sources, we have undertaken a new study of the brightest sample of unlensed (sub-)mm sources with pre-Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)...

The bulge-disc decomposed evolution of massive galaxies at 1 < z < 3 in CANDELS

Science

We present the results of a new and improved study of the morphological and spectral evolution of massive galaxies over the redshift range 1 < z < 3. Our analysis is based on a bulge–disc decomposition of 396 galaxies with M* > 1011 M⊙ uncovered from the...

A mass threshold in the number density of passive galaxies at z ~ 2

Science

The process that quenched star formation in galaxies at intermediate and high redshifts is still the subject of considerable debate. One way to investigate this puzzling issue is to study the number density of quiescent galaxies at z ~= 2 and its dependence on mass....
