3 The motivation for UDS: Understanding galaxy formation

4 ΛCDM cosmological model in excellent agreement with wide range of observations: e.g. CMB, galaxy clustering, SN, element abundances, Cepheid distance scale, stellar ages, baryon fraction in clusters, etc… Understanding galaxy formation Cosmology

5 Understanding galaxy formation still don’t understand galaxy formation Cosmology

6 Semi-analytic Galaxy Formation Models + Messy physics (gas cooling, star-formation, AGN, dust, feedback etc…) N-body merger trees = Understanding galaxy formation SAMs have been very successful in some regards traditionally SAMs predicted very few old/red/massive galaxies at high-redshift (i.e. z>1 ) HOWEVER

7 Semi-analytic Galaxy Formation Models + Messy physics (gas cooling, star-formation, AGN, dust, feedback etc…) N-body merger trees = Understanding galaxy formation Over the last 5 years, near-infrared surveys have discovered substantial populations of evolved galaxies at z>1 which are missed by optical surveys, and not accounted for by SAMs (e.g. EROs, DRGs etc)

8 What are they? What are they? n ~50% old, passive systems n ~50% dusty starburst n Strongly clustered n High space density Many old, massive galaxies Many old, massive galaxies already in place at z~1-1.5 already in place at z~1-1.5 e.g. Daddi et al. 2002; Roche, Almaini et al. (2002), Cimatti et a. (2003); Roche, Dunlop & Almaini (2003), Somerville et al. (2003) EROs (Extremely Red Objects)

9 – 6 arcmin 2 – VLT ISAAC imaging (JHK) – K~23.5 (Vega) Find population consistent with very red z>2 galaxies. “Distant Red Galaxies (DRGs)” J - K > 2.3 J - K > 2.3 Labbe et al. 2002, Franx et al. 2003, Rudnick et al. 2003, Van Dokkum et al. 2005, Wuyts et al. 2007 Pushing IR surveys to z>2 FIRES - a glimpse of what UDS will achieve 100 hrs on VLT in 0.5” seeing

10 Understanding galaxy formation Various high-z populations (EROs, DRGs, BzKs etc) all just sub-sets of substantial population of massive galaxies at high-z Better to study evolution of entire galaxy population down to a given K-band limit K<23.5(AB) sample in GOODS-S, Caputi et al. (2006) This study, and others, demonstrated that ~80% of most massive galaxies are in place at z=1, but that only ~10% are in place at z=3 Epoch of massive galaxy formation is 1<z<3 Example: how many >10 11 solar mass galaxies are in place at high redshift? Conclusion:

11 The need for deep infrared surveys Optical surveys sample rest-frame UV at high-z Deep near-IR surveys vital for a complete census at z>1 1. Biased against high-z galaxies obscured by dust 2. Bias against high-z galaxies with old stellar populations 3. Provide poor estimate of stellar mass

42 42 The depth and spatial resolution of the HST ACS imaging in the Ultra Deep Field and wider GOODS N+S fields has been crucial Has allowed high-redshift luminosity function be traced as faint as ~0.1 L* However: Very small areas (HUDF ~13 arcmin 2 ] Potential for large cosmic variance, particularly at bright-end of LF Massive galaxies at 4.5<z<6.5

45 McLure et al. 2008, arXiv:0805:1335 Strategy: Selected z<26 (AB) catalog from SXDS data (z=6.5 limit) Rejected anything formally detected in B-band image (4.5<z<6.5) Photometric redshift fitting for all candidates (~6000 objects) Used redshift probability function P(z) to construct V/V max LF estimate More inclusive than strict “drop-out” selection Maximizes available redshift information Massive galaxies at 4.5<z<6.5

47 Massive galaxies at 4.5<z<6.5 How do we compare with previous studies?

48 Massive galaxies at 4.5<z<6.5 Excellent agreement with Bouwens et al. (2007) Surprising given: greatly differing areas, data & techniques

71 The size evolution of massive galaxies McLure et al. (2007, in prep] Recent studies ( e.g. Trujillo et al. 2006, Longhetti et al. 2007, Zirm et al. 2007) have concluded that massive galaxies at 1.5<z<2.5 are factor ~4 smaller than their local counterparts. Appears to rule out simple passive evolutionary history

72 The size evolution of massive galaxies McLure et al. (2007, in prep] Appears to rule out simple passive evolutionary history Power of the UKIDSS UDS is that we can now study size evolution of massive galaxies using complete samples of ~5000, M>10 11 M  objects Recent studies ( e.g. Trujillo et al. 2006, Longhetti et al. 2007, Zirm et al. 2007) have concluded that massive galaxies at 1.5<z<2.5 are factor ~4 smaller than their local counterparts.

73 The size evolution of massive galaxies McLure et al. (2007, in prep] Complete sample of 5000 M>10 11 M  galaxies in interval 0.0<z<2.5 Confirm massive galaxies at z~2 are smaller than locally, but by less than factor of two Suggests factor of 1.5-2.0 growth is needed since z~1.5 Fully consistent with on average one major merger in last 9 Gyrs

UDS number density is in good agreement with model predictions Massive galaxies at z>5 Comparison with galaxy mass function: Good agreement with model predictions maintained even if LBG selection technique is missing ~50% of stellar mass (e.g. Stark et al. 2006) MF at z=0 (Cole 2001) Durham model (Bower 2006) Trieste model (Granato 2004)
