The Dependence of Halo Mass on Galaxy Size at Fixed Stellar Mass Using Weak Lensing
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-24)Stellar mass has been shown to correlate with halo mass, but with significant scatter. The stellar mass-size and luminosity-size relationships of galaxies also show significant scatter in galaxy sizes for a fixed stellar ... -
Testing the Extremes of Initial Mass Function Variability using Compact Stellar Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2022-07-29)The initial mass function (IMF) is a cornerstone in star formation and galaxy evolution studies. It has traditionally been assumed to be universal, but this has been challenged by increasingly detailed observations of ... -
Tracing galaxy evolution through the reconstruction of their star formation histories
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-24)This thesis studies the star formation histories (SFHs) of galaxies in order to understand the nature of 'quenching.' The suppression of star formation, i.e., quenching, over the history of the Universe results in a growing ... -
Transition Galaxies: The Evolution of Environmental Quenching
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-28)We study the evolution of environmental quenching using a photometric selection of transition galaxies in GOGREEN- which encompasses clusters between 1<z<1.5 spanning a wide range in halo mass. We split the galaxies in ... -
Ultraviolet Sizes and Morphology of Galaxies in the Coma Cluster
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-25)We present a study of the Coma cluster using ultraviolet (UV) imaging obtained using the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope. We discuss methods for measuring sizes and morphology of galaxies in the UV. Several cluster galaxies ...
