  1. Massive galaxies at z ~ 2 from K20+ Preamble: (Cimatti, Daddi, Fontana, Arimoto, GOODS, GRAPES, COSMOS ) Looking at z~2 massive galaxies gives us more leverage than looking at z~1 ✰ as their predicted abundance and properties (e.g. Passive vs. starbursting) are most critically dependent on theoretical model *assumptions, *algorithms and *parameters →allow to narrow down our model shopping list. Fontana et al. 2004 A Renzini, STScI, September 27, 2004

  2. The Local Mass Function (from the SDSS) et al. (2003) In the local universe: Among the MMGs the old passively evolving, early-type galaxies outnumber the starforming galaxies by more than a factor ~10

  3. The High-z Tail in the K20 Sample K<20 galaxies at z > 1.6: ~ 0.0 predicted by SAMs 32 observed in the the K20 sample (apparent agreement with PLE models) PLE Cimatti et al. 2002 (old)SAM

  4. The Nature of the K<20, z>1.6 galaxies1. The Star-Forming Galaxies Daddi et al. (2004)

  5. The K<20, z≈2 starforming galaxies Coadded spectra of 5 best S/N galaxies (de Mello et al. 2004). More stronglined than LBGs both for ISM and photospheric absorptions ➔ >~solar metallicity which along with: ● M*>1011M⊙ ● SFR > ~ 100 M⊙/yr ● Strong clustering ➔ Likely progenitors of local ellipticals and big bulges

  6. (The Highest redshift ellipticals) 2. The Passively Evolving Galaxies Cimatti et al. (Nature, July 8, 2004) ACS/GOODS images Coadded VLT spectra → zF > 2.5-3

  7. The MgUV Feature: a key to hi-z passive galaxies First used by Dunlop/Spinrad et al '96; Cimatti et al '04; McCarthy et al. '04)

  8. Passively Evolving galaxies (cont.) In red LBDS 53w091 (z=1.55) Blue=average of the 4 gals. 1 Gyr 3Gyr 0.5 Gyr z=1 old EROs Z=1 SF ERO SDSS <z>=0.5 F5V F2V F2V

  9. The 4 galaxies in real color GOODS ACS BViz images

  10. Old galaxies at high redshift In the K20/GOODS field (32 □) Passive galaxies with R-K>6, z>1.5, K<20: 4 objects with zspec 3 objects with zphot 7 objects in total In the currently “best” semi-analytic model (Somerville 2004): Mock catalog for a whole GOODS field (160 □): Only one object with the same characteristics. 35 expected scaling from the K20

  11. 32 K20 galaxies at z>1.4 with deep z-band ACS imaging The ACS/GOODS Morphologies S=Starforming ➔ mergers, starbursts P=Passively evolving ➔ Elliptical and Bulge-dominated galaxies

  12. Some Inferences (so far) ●Massive (M*>1011M⊙) galaxies appear to be in place at z ~ 2 in much greater number than predicted by most CDM Simulations Models with strong SN/AGN feedback do better (Nagamine et al. 2001; Granato et al. 2004) [Anti-hierarchical galaxy assembly!] While at z=0 most “most massive galaxies” are passively evolving, old ellipticals, by z~2 passive and active star-forming galaxies coexist in nearly equal number ☹Limitations of the K20 survey: ✈relatively small area (prone to cosmic variance) ✈relatively shallow (K<20)

  13. Post-K20: go wider, go deeper,focus on z~2 Daddi et al. (2004) The BzK criterion for selecting BOTH starforming (reddening independent!) and passively evolving galaxies at 1.4<z<2.5 Calibrated on the K20, GOODS, and GDDS datasets. ⇦K20/GOODS data only shown here.

  14. Why the BzK criterion works Daddi et al. (2004) BC03 models with various ages, SF histories, and reddening: Nice agreement with the K20 empirical findings SSPs Cont. SF SFR ~ e(-t/τ) z<1.4

  15. BzK- vs. LBG UGR-selected Galaxies A preliminary comparison: K20 BzK sample vs UGR sample (Steidel et al. 2004) UGR Objects (R<25) E(B-V) < 0.3 <SFR> =~50 M⊙/yr ~9 objects/□' ~2/3 of the BzK+UGR Star Formation Rate @ z = 2 Misses highly reddened objects ~ 9 Objects/□' ~2/3 of the BzK+UGR Star Formation Rate @ z = 2 Misses highly reddened objects K20 BzK Objects (K<20) <E(B-V)> > 0.3 <SFR> = ~ 200 M⊙/yr ~1 Object/□' ~1/3 of the BzK+UGR Star Formation Rate @ z=2 Misses objects with K>20 Misses Objects wit /y ~ 1 Object/□' ~1/3 of the BzK+UGR Star Formation Rate @ z = 2 Misses objects with K>20 / che-1 drwx------ 31 alvio alvio 4096 Feb 20 12:15 .

  16. Going deeper: the GMASS project (Also called the K21 project) VLT/FORS2 ultradeep spectroscopy (~30 hours integration per mask) over the UDF/GOODS-South field. PI A. Cimatti, Co-Is as usual Scheduled for September-November 2004. The selected targets on the BzK diagram All targets with: K>20 (average 21.2) (4.5)AB<23.5 (FromSpitzer/GOODS) Perhaps the first Spitzer-selected sample.

  17. Going Deeper: the UDF+GRAPES* Sample Selecting candidate passively evolving galaxies at z>1.4 from the UDF field (Bz) & GOODS (K) with the BzK plot. ACS/GRISM spectra from the GRAPES project. Daddi et al. 2004 (in prep) Targets down to K=21.1 GOODS K20 UDF *Malhotra et al. 2004

  18. ACS Cutouts & ACS/GRISM Spectra The MgUV Feature as a function of SSP age and for Continous SF + E(B-V)=1.2 ← Redshifts identified by the MgUV Feature agree with photo-z's

  20. Passive or Active? Object #4950 @ z=1.55

  21. Masses and Mass Densities Typical (stellar) masses of these galaxies are ~ 0.5-2 1011M⊙ The 6 passively evolving galaxies at 1.4<z<2.0 with M* > ~1011M⊙correspond to 20-40% of the number density of such galaxies at z=0. Assuming ro= 10 Mpc for their correlation length the 1 range becomes 10-80% (!) COSMIC VARIANCE dominates BIGGER FIELDS ARE NEEDED!

  22. Going Wider: BzK-selected galaxiesOver ~ 1000 □ ESO/SUBARU Collaboration:Cimatti, Daddi, Renzini, + Arimoto, Ikuta, Kong, Broadhurst, Pozzetti et al. Onodera, et al. K-band (<20.2) from NTT, Bz bands from SuprimeCam Objects observed with VIMOS, February '04 ❍ Blue grism, R=200  Red grism, R=600 Reductions in progress

GOODS: 160 + 160 □'COSMOS: 2 □° ACS Equatorial Field Goal: ~90,000 redshifts w/ VLT/VIMOS GOODS-South: To be proposed ... + Magellan/IMACS ~6000 redshifts from the VLT + whoever may like to join with other ~2000 released, the rest next fall telescopes COSMOS: Mapping galaxy evolution as a function of redshift and LSS Context by 2006-07.

  25. COSMOS Targets BzK+UGR selected Red, Blue, Black: (K)<0.2 2000; 20,000; 100,000 (BzK-selected galaxies) Yellow,Cyan: (K)>0.2 ~50,000 (UGR-selected, à la Steidel) Yellow+Blue: VLT/VIMOS/LR-blue Black: VLT/VIMOS/LR-Red Red: Magellan/IMACS Starforming, 1.4<z<2.5 Passive, z>1.4 Galaxies, z<1.4 Stars Data: Bz (SUBARU), K (NOAO, IfA), U (CFHT) from B.

  26. COSMOS Targets Bottom line: all selection criteria are +/- biased: the BzK+UGR selection is the most un-biased criterion we were able to invent.

  27. SUMMARY  Different CDM Models tuned to match some z=0 observable diverge widely by z=2.  By z=2 the massive galaxy mix is ~50-50 passive and starbursting  Current data favor an early build up of galactic spheroids, with the more massive ones completing their star formation ahead of the less massive ones (seemingly “anti-hierarchical”, “downsizing”)  Fully explored fields (< 100 □) are still dominated by cosmic variance. But ..................

  29. Ellipticals in clusters and fieldlook much the same Bernardi et al. (2003): ~9000 ellipticals in the SDSS sample. No appreciable trend of the stellar population content with local density. “Field” ellipticals less than ~1 Gyr younger than cluster ellipticals.

  30. Searching for the high-z Precursors ofthe MMGs at z=0 By and large, this is ~equivalent to searching for the precursors of elliptical galaxies. @ z=1: Passively evolving “EROs” (R-K>5) in (almost) enough number Beyond z=1: ■Up to which redshift passively evolving galaxies can be found? ■Given that the bulk of stars in ellipticals formed at z>~3: where are the ELLIPTICALS IN FORMATION?

  31. Searching for High-z Massive Galaxies(the K20 Project, and Beyond) 1999: in absence of a better criterion, pick near-IR bright galaxies as best proxies to MMGs: i.e. Select for VLT spectroscopy K 20 galaxies ➔ the “K20 project” PI: A. Cimatti, Co-Is: E. Daddi, A. Fontana, L. Pozzetti, A. Renzini, G. Zamorani, T. Broadhurst, M. Mignoli, et al.  Deep VLT Spectroscopy of 546 K 20 objects, over two fields (52 □) ● Now  92% complete ( 95 % over the subfield included in the GOODS field) 1999: in absence of a better criterion, pick near-IR bright galaxies i.e. Select for VLT spectroscopy K 20 galaxies ➔ the “K20 project” PI: A. Cimatti, Co-Is: E. Daddi, A. Fontana, L. Pozzetti, A. Renzini, G. Zamorani, T. Broadhurst, M. Mignoli, et al.

  32. The Redshift Distribution of the K<20 Sample of Galaxies SAM Pure Luminosity Evolution (PLE) Models apparently do better than CDM (<2002) Semianalytic Models (SAM)(Cimatti et al. 2002) SAM PLE

  33. The Stellar Masses of K20 Galaxies Stellar masses derived from either color (R-K) (MA) or SED (UBVRIzJHK) fits (BF) and the K magnitude. ● Old Passive (Early type) ❍ Early + Emission line  Photo-z only X Star forming

  34. The Evolution of the Galaxy Mass Function Fontana et al. (2004) □ BF Masses ∇ MA Masses ❍ zspec only Color code: Bad fit Poor fit Fair fit Good fit Menci et al '02,'04 Nagamine et al '01 Cole et al. '00;Granato et al. '04 (Salpeter IMF) (Gould IMF) Somerville et al. '04a, '04b (Kennicutt IMF)

  35. The K20 vs the Munics Mass Function up to z=1.2 (Very nice agreement) Drory et al. (2004) 1 □o ; K<19.5; mostly photo-z's

  36. The Build Up of Stellar MassThrough Cosmic Time ⇧ is my preferred value from the fossil evidence (mass and formation redshift of local spheroids), i.e. >30% of the stellar mass done by z=3 (Renzini 1998, 1999) ⇧ From Fontana et al. (2004)

  37. Baryon-to-star conversion as a function of galaxy mass Available baryons from CDM simulation assuming cosmic share (b/m) Two Main Points:  There are enough massive DM halos to account for the massive galaxies we see (No fundamental failure of the DM paradigm).  Strong mass dependence of the baryon-to-star conversion efficiency (many interesting ramifications ... ).
