We have constructed a mass-selected sample of M* > 1011 M⊙ galaxies at 1 < z < 3 in the CANDELS UKIDSS UDS and COSMOS fields and have decomposed these systems into their separate bulge and disc components according to their H160– band morphologies. By...

Using the UltraVISTA catalogs, we investigate the evolution in the 11.4 Gyr since z=3 of the progenitors of local ultra-massive galaxies (log(Mstar/M⊙)≈11.8; UMGs), providing a complete and consistent picture of how the most massive galaxies at z=0 have assembled. By...

We report the detection at 850 microns of the central source in SSA22-LAB1, the archetypal “Lyman-alpha Blob” (LAB), a 100 kpc scale radio-quiet emission-line nebula at z = 3.1. The flux density of the source, S 850 = 4.6 ± 1.1 mJy, implies the presence of...
Science
Method We present a new method to classify the broad-band optical–near-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies using three shape parameters (super-colours) based on a principal component analysis of model SEDs. As well as providing a compact...

We present the results of a study investigating the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) spectral slopes of redshift z ≈ 5 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). By combining deep Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey and...
Science
The main aim of this work is to constrain the assembly history of high-redshift galaxies and the reliability of UV-based estimates of their physical parameters from an accurate analysis of a unique sample of z ~ 3 Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). We analyse 14 LBGs at z ~...
