We present the results of a study to determine the co-evolution of the virial and stellar masses for a sample of 83 disk galaxies between redshifts z = 0.2 - 1.2. The virial masses of these disks are computed using measured maximum rotational velocities from Keck spectroscopy and scale lengths from Hubble Space Telescope imaging. We compute stellar masses based on stellar population synthesis model fits to spectral energy distributions including K-band magnitudes. We find no apparent evolution with redshift from z = 0.2 - 1.2 in the relationship between stellar masses and maximum rotational velocities through the stellar mass Tully-Fisher relationship. We also find no evolution when comparing disk stellar and virial masses. Massive disk galaxies therefore appear to be already in place, in terms of their virial and stellar masses, out to the highest redshifts where they can be morphologically identified.

The accurate measurement of stellar masses over a wide range of galaxy properties is essential for better constraining models of galaxy evolution. Emission line galaxies (ELGs) tend to have better redshift estimates than continuum-selected objects an d have been shown to span a large range of physical properties, including stellar mass. Using data from the 3D-HST Treasury program, we construct a carefully vetted sample of 4350 ELGs at redshifts 1.16<z<1.90. We combine the 3D-HST emission line fluxes with far-UV through near-IR photometry and use the MCSED spectral energy distribution fitting code to constrain the galaxies physical parameters, such as their star formation rate (SFRs) and stellar masses. Our sample is consistent with the z~2 mass-metallicity relation. More importantly, we show there is a simple but tight correlation between stellar mass and absolute magnitude in a near-IR filter that will be particularly useful in quickly calculating accurate stellar masses for millions of galaxies in upcoming missions such as Euclid and the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.
We utilize $Lambda$CDM halo occupation models of galaxy clustering to investigate the evolving stellar mass dependent clustering of galaxies in the PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS) and DEEP2 Redshift Survey over the past eight billion years of cosm ic time, between $0.2<z<1.2$. These clustering measurements provide new constraints on the connections between dark matter halo properties and galaxy properties in the context of the evolving large-scale structure of the universe. Using both an analytic model and a set of mock galaxy catalogs, we find a strong correlation between central galaxy stellar mass and dark matter halo mass over the range $M_mathrm{halo}sim10^{11}$-$10^{13}~h^{-1}M_odot$, approximately consistent with previous observations and theoretical predictions. However, the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) and the mass scale where star formation efficiency reaches a maximum appear to evolve more strongly than predicted by other models, including models based primarily on abundance-matching constraints. We find that the fraction of satellite galaxies in haloes of a given mass decreases significantly from $zsim0.5$ to $zsim0.9$, partly due to the fact that haloes at fixed mass are rarer at higher redshift and have lower abundances. We also find that the $M_1/M_mathrm{min}$ ratio, a model parameter that quantifies the critical mass above which haloes host at least one satellite, decreases from $approx20$ at $zsim0$ to $approx13$ at $zsim0.9$. Considering the evolution of the subhalo mass function vis-`{a}-vis satellite abundances, this trend has implications for relations between satellite galaxies and halo substructures and for intracluster mass, which we argue has grown due to stripped and disrupted satellites between $zsim0.9$ and $zsim0.5$.
We present an observational study of the stellar mass function of satellite galaxies around central galaxies at 0.2<z<1.2. Using statistical background subtraction of contaminating sources we derive satellite stellar mass distributions in four bins o f central galaxy mass in three redshift ranges. Our results show that the stellar mass function of satellite galaxies increases with central galaxy mass, and that the distribution of satellite masses at fixed central mass is at most weakly dependent on redshift. We conclude that the average mass distribution of galaxies in groups is remarkably universal even out to z=1.2 and that it can be uniquely characterized by the group central galaxy mass. This further suggests that as central galaxies grow in stellar mass, they do so in tandem with the mass growth of their satellites. Finally, we classify all galaxies as either star forming or quiescent, and derive the mass functions of each subpopulation separately. We find that the mass distribution of both star forming and quiescent satellites show minimal redshift dependence at fixed central mass. However, while the fraction of quiescent satellite galaxies increases rapidly with increasing central galaxy mass, that of star forming satellites decreases.

In this study we demonstrate that stellar masses of galaxies (Mstar) are universally correlated through a double power law function with the product of the dynamical velocities (Ve) and sizes to one-fourth power (Re^0.25) of galaxies, both measured a t the effective radii. The product VeRe^0.25 represents the fourth root of the total binding energies within effective radii of galaxies. This stellar mass-binding energy correlation has an observed scatter of 0.14 dex in log(VeRe^0.25) and 0.46 dex in log(Mstar). It holds for a variety of galaxy types over a stellar mass range of nine orders of magnitude, with little evolution over cosmic time. A toy model of self-regulation between binding energies and supernovae feedback is shown to be able to reproduce the observed slopes, but the underlying physical mechanisms are still unclear. The correlation can be a potential distance estimator with an uncertainty of 0.2 dex independent of the galaxy type.
We present the results of a study of a large sample of luminous (z{AB}<26) Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) in the redshift interval 4.7<z<6.3, selected from a contiguous 0.63 square degree area covered by the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS) and the Subaru XMM-Newton Survey (SXDS). Utilising the large area coverage and the excellent available optical+nearIR data, we use a photometric redshift analysis to derive a new, robust, measurement of the bright end (L>L*) of the UV-selected luminosity function at high redshift. When combined with literature studies of the fainter LBG population, our new sample provides improved constraints on the luminosity function of redshift 5<z<6 LBGs over the luminosity range 0.1L*<L<10L*. A maximum likelihood analysis returns best-fitting Schechter function parameters of M*_1500=-20.73, phi*=0.0009 Mpc^-3 and alpha=-1.66 for the luminosity function at z=5, and M*_1500 = -20.04, phi*=0.0018 Mpc^-3 and alpha=-1.71 at z=6. In addition, an analysis of the angular clustering properties of our LBG sample demonstrates that luminous 5<z<6 LBGs are strongly clustered (r_0 = 8.1 Mpc), and are consistent with the occupation of dark matter halos with masses of ~10^{11.5-12.0} Msun. Moreover, by stacking the available multi-wavelength imaging data for the high-redshift LBGs it is possible to place useful constraints on their typical stellar mass. The results of this analysis suggest that luminous LBGs at 5<z<6 have an average stellar mass of ~10^10 Msun, consistent with the results of the clustering analysis assuming plausible values for the ratio of stellar to dark matter. Finally, by combining our luminosity function results with those of the stacking analysis we derive estimates of ~1x10^7 Msun Mpc^-3 and 4x10^6 Msun Mpc^-3 for the stellar mass density at z~5 and z~6 respectively.
