We present a measurement of the spatial clustering of rest-frame UV-selected massive galaxies at $0.5le z le 2.5$ in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field. Considering four separate redshift bins with $Delta z=0.5$, we construct three galaxy populations, i.e., red sequence (RS), blue cloud (BC), and green valley (GV) galaxies, according to their rest-frame extinction-corrected UV colors. The correlation lengths of these populations are confirmed to be dependent on their rest-frame UV color and redshift: UV redder galaxies are found to be more clustered. In all redshift bins, the GV galaxies generally have medium clustering amplitudes and are hosted within dark matter halos whose masses are more or less between those of RS and BC galaxies; and the clustering amplitude of GV galaxies is close to that of AGNs in the same redshift bin, suggesting that AGN activity may be responsible for transforming galaxy colors. After carefully examining their stellar masses, we find that the clustering amplitudes of galaxy samples with different colors are all similar once they have a similar median stellar mass and that the median stellar mass alone may be a good predictor of galaxy clustering.

We present an estimation of lifetimes of massive galaxies with distinct UV colors at $0.5 le z le 2.5$ in the COSMOS/UltraVISTA field. After dividing the galaxy sample into subsamples of red sequence (RS), blue cloud (BC), and green valley (GV) galax
ies in different redshift bins, according to their rest-frame extinction-corrected UV colors, we derive their lifetimes using clustering analyses. Several essentials that may influence the lifetime estimation have been explored, including the dark matter (DM) halo mass function (HMF), the width of redshift bin, the growth of DM halos within each redshift bin, and the stellar mass. We find that the HMF difference results in scatters of $sim0.2$ dex on lifetime estimation; adopting a redshift bin width of $Delta z = 0.5$ is good enough to estimate the lifetime; and no significant effect on lifetime estimation is found due to the growth of DM halos within each redshift bin. The galaxy subsamples with higher stellar masses generally have shorter lifetimes; however, the lifetimes among different subsamples at z > 1:5 tend to be independent of stellar mass. Consistently, the clustering-based lifetime for each galaxy subsample agrees well with that inferred using the spectral energy distribution modeling. Moreover, the lifetimes of the RS and BC galaxies also coincide well with their typical gas depletion timescales attributed to the consumption of star formation. Interestingly, the distinct lifetime behaviors of the GV galaxies at $z le 1.5$ and $z>1.5$ can not be fully accounted for by their gas depletion timescales. Instead, this discrepancy between the lifetimes and gas depletion timescales of the GV galaxies suggests that there are additional physical processes, such as feedback of active galactic nuclei, accelerating the quenching of GV galaxies at high redshifts.
To explore the evolutionary connection among red, green, and blue galaxy populations, based on a sample of massive ($M_* > 10^{10} M_{odot} $) galaxies at 0.5<z<2.5 in five 3D-HST/CANDELS fields, we investigate the dust content, morphologies, structu
res, AGN fractions, and environments of these three galaxy populations. Green valley galaxies are found to have intermediate dust attenuation, and reside in the middle of the regions occupied by quiescent and star-forming galaxies in the UVJ diagram. Compared with blue and red galaxy populations at z<2, green galaxies have intermediate compactness and morphological parameters such as Sersic index, concentration, Gini coefficient, and the second order moment of the 20% brightest pixels of a galaxy. Above findings seem to favor the scenario that green galaxies are at transitional phase when star-forming galaxies are being quenched into quiescent status. The green galaxies at z<2 show the highest AGN fraction, suggesting that AGN feedback may have played an important role in star formation quenching. For the massive galaxies at 2<z<2.5, both red and green galaxies are found to have a similarly higher AGN fraction than the blue ones, which implies that AGN feedback may help to keep quiescence of red galaxies at z>2. A significant environmental difference is found between green and red galaxies at z<1.5. Green and blue galaxies at z>0.5 seem to have similar local density distributions, suggesting that environment quenching is not the major mechanism to cease star formation at z>0.5. The fractions of three populations as functions of mass support a downsizing quenching picture that the bulk of star formation in more massive galaxies is completed earlier than that of lower mass galaxies.
We report the discovery of 28 quasars and 7 luminous galaxies at 5.7 $le$ z $le$ 7.0. This is the tenth in a series of papers from the Subaru High-z Exploration of Low-Luminosity Quasars (SHELLQs) project, which exploits the deep multi-band imaging d
ata produced by the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program survey. The total number of spectroscopically identified objects in SHELLQs has now grown to 93 high-z quasars, 31 high-z luminous galaxies, 16 [O III] emitters at z ~ 0.8, and 65 Galactic cool dwarfs (low-mass stars and brown dwarfs). These objects were found over 900 deg2, surveyed by HSC between 2014 March and 2018 January. The full quasar sample includes 18 objects with very strong and narrow Ly alpha emission, whose stacked spectrum is clearly different from that of other quasars or galaxies. While the stacked spectrum shows N V 1240 emission and resembles that of lower-z narrow-line quasars, the small Ly alpha width may suggest a significant contribution from the host galaxies. Thus these objects may be composites of quasars and star-forming galaxies.
We investigate the stellar and dust properties of massive (log$(M_*/M_odot) ge 10.5$) and dusty ($A_V ge 1$) galaxies at $1 le z le 4$ by modeling their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) obtained from the combination of UltraVISTA DR3 photometry a
nd textit{Herschel} PACS-SPIRE data using MAGPHYS. Although the rest-frame U-V vs V-J (UVJ) diagram traces well the star-formation rates (SFR) and dust obscuration (A$_V$) out to $z sim 3$, $sim$15-20% of the sample surprisingly resides in the quiescent region of the UVJ diagram, while $sim50$% at $3<z<4$ fall in the unobscured star-forming region. The median SED of massive dusty galaxies exhibits weaker MIR and UV emission, and redder UV slopes with increasing cosmic time. The IR emission for our sample has a significant contribution ($>20%$) from dust heated by evolved stellar populations rather than star formation, demonstrating the need for panchromatic SED modeling. The local relation between dust mass and SFR is followed only by a sub-sample with cooler dust temperatures, while warmer objects have reduced dust masses at a given SFR. Most star-forming galaxies in our sample do not follow local IRX-$beta$ relations, though IRX does strongly correlate with A$_V$. Our sample follows local relations, albeit with large scatter, between ISM diagnostics and sSFR. We show that FIR-detected sources represent the extreme of a continuous population of dusty galaxies rather than a fundamentally different population. Finally, using commonly adopted relations to derive SFRs from the combination of the rest-frame UV and the observed 24$mu$m is found to overestimate the SFR by a factor of 3-5 for the galaxies in our sample.
We introduce a new color-selection technique to identify high-redshift, massive galaxies that are systematically missed by Lyman-break selection. The new selection is based on the H_{160} and IRAC 4.5um bands, specifically H - [4.5] > 2.25 mag. These
galaxies, dubbed HIEROs, include two major populations that can be separated with an additional J - H color. The populations are massive and dusty star-forming galaxies at z > 3 (JH-blue) and extremely dusty galaxies at z < 3 (JH-red). The 350 arcmin^2 of the GOODS-N and GOODS-S fields with the deepest HST/WFC3 and IRAC data contain 285 HIEROs down to [4.5] < 24 mag. We focus here primarily on JH-blue (z > 3) HIEROs, which have a median photometric redshift z ~4.4 and stellar massM_{*}~10^{10.6} Msun, and are much fainter in the rest-frame UV than similarly massive Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs). Their star formation rates (SFRs) reaches ~240 Msun yr^{-1} leading to a specific SFR, sSFR ~4.2 Gyr^{-1}, suggesting that the sSFRs for massive galaxies continue to grow at z > 2 but at a lower growth rate than from z=0 to z=2. With a median half-light radius of 2 kpc, including ~20% as compact as quiescent galaxies at similar redshifts, JH-blue HIEROs represent perfect star-forming progenitors of the most massive (M_{*} > 10^{11.2} Msun) compact quiescent galaxies at z ~ 3 and have the right number density. HIEROs make up ~60% of all galaxies with M_{*} > 10^{10.5} Msun identified at z > 3 from their photometric redshifts. This is five times more than LBGs with nearly no overlap between the two populations. While HIEROs make up 15-25% of the total SFR density at z ~ 4-5, they completely dominate the SFR density taking place in M_{*} >10^{10.5} Msun galaxies, and are therefore crucial to understanding the very early phase of massive galaxy formation.
