We predict the stellar mass -- halo mass (SMHM) relationship for dwarf galaxies, using simulated galaxies with peak halo masses of M$_{rm peak} = 10^{11}$ M$_{odot}$ down into the ultra-faint dwarf range to M$_{rm peak} =$ 10$^7$ M$_{odot}$. Our simulated dwarfs have stellar masses of M$_{rm star} = $ 790 M$_{odot}$ to $8.2 times 10^8$ M$_{odot}$, with corresponding $V$-band magnitudes from $-2$ to $-18.5$. For M$_{rm peak} > 10^{10}$ M$_{odot}$, the simulated SMHM relationship agrees with literature determinations, including exhibiting a small scatter of 0.3 dex. However, the scatter in the SMHM relation increases for lower-mass halos. We first present results for well-resolved halos that contain a simulated stellar population, but recognize that whether a halo hosts a galaxy is inherently mass resolution dependent. We thus adopt a probabilistic model to populate dark halos below our resolution limit to predict an intrinsic slope and scatter for the SMHM relation. We fit linearly growing log-normal scatter in stellar mass, which grows to more than 1 dex at M$_{rm peak}$ $=$ 10$^8$ M$_{odot}$. At the faintest end of the SMHM relation probed by our simulations, a galaxy cannot be assigned a unique halo mass based solely on its luminosity. Instead, we provide a formula to stochastically populate low-mass halos following our results. Finally, we show that our growing log-normal scatter steepens the faint-end slope of the predicted stellar mass function.

High mass galaxies, with halo masses $M_{200} ge 10^{10} M_{odot}$, reveal a remarkable near-linear relation between their globular cluster (GC) system mass and their host galaxy halo mass. Extending this relation to the mass range of dwarf galaxies
has been problematic due to the difficulty in measuring independent halo masses. Here we derive new halo masses based on stellar and HI gas kinematics for a sample of nearby dwarf galaxies with GC systems. We find that the GC system mass--halo mass relation for galaxies populated by GCs holds from halo masses of $M_{200} sim 10^{14} M_{odot}$ down to below $M_{200}$ $sim 10^9 M_{odot}$, although there is a substantial increase in scatter towards low masses. In particular, three well-studied ultra diffuse galaxies, with dwarf-like stellar masses, reveal a wide range in their GC-to-halo mass ratios. We compare our GC system--halo mass relation to the recent model of El Badry et al., finding that their fiducial model does not reproduce our data in the low mass regime. This may suggest that GC formation needs to be more efficient than assumed in their model, or it may be due to the onset of stochastic GC occupation in low mass halos. Finally, we briefly discuss the stellar mass-halo mass relation for our low mass galaxies with GCs, and we suggest some nearby dwarf galaxies for which searches for GCs may be fruitful.
We present results from the first combined study of variable stars and star formation history (SFH) of the Milky Way (MW) ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy Leo T, based on F606W and F814W multi-epoch archive observations obtained with the Wide Field Pla
netary Camera 2 on board the Hubble Space Telescope. We have detected 14 variable stars in the galaxy. They include one fundamental-mode RR Lyrae star and 10 Anomalous Cepheids with periods shorter than 1 day, thus suggesting the occurrence of multiple star formation episodes in this UFD, of which one about 10 Gyr ago produced the RR Lyrae star. A new estimate of the distance to Leo T of 409 $^{+29}_{-27}$ kpc (distance modulus of 23.06 $pm$ 0.15 mag) was derived from the galaxys RR Lyrae star. Our V, V-I color-magnitude diagram of Leo T reaches V~29 mag and shows features typical of a galaxy in transition between dwarf irregular and dwarf spheroidal types. A quantitative analysis of the star formation history, based on the comparison of the observed V,V-I CMD with the expected distribution of stars for different evolutionary scenarios, confirms that Leo T has a complex star formation history dominated by two enhanced periods about 1.5 and 9 Gyr ago, respectively. The distribution of stars and gas shows that the galaxy has a fairly asymmetric structure.
We quantify the star formation (SF) in the inner cores ($mathcal{R}$/$R_{200}$$leq$0.3) of 24 massive galaxy clusters at 0.2$lesssim$$z$$lesssim$0.9 observed by the $Herschel$ Lensing Survey and the Cluster Lensing and Supernova survey with $Hubble$.
These programmes, covering the rest-frame ultraviolet to far-infrared regimes, allow us to accurately characterize stellar mass-limited ($mathcal{M}_{*}$$>$$10^{10}$ $M_{odot}$) samples of star-forming cluster members (not)-detected in the mid- and/or far-infrared. We release the catalogues with the photometry, photometric redshifts, and physical properties of these samples. We also quantify the SF displayed by comparable field samples from the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey. We find that in intermediate-$z$ cluster cores, the SF activity is suppressed with respect the field in terms of both the fraction ($mathcal{F}$) of star-forming galaxies (SFG) and the rate at which they form stars ($mathcal{SFR}$ and $smathcal{SFR} = mathcal{SFR}/mathcal{M}_{*}$). On average, the $mathcal{F}$ of SFGs is a factor $sim$$2$ smaller in cluster cores than in the field. Furthermore, SFGs present average $mathcal{SFR}$ and $smathcal{SFR}$ typically $sim$0.3 dex smaller in the clusters than in the field along the whole redshift range probed. Our results favour long time-scale quenching physical processes as the main driver of SF suppression in the inner cores of clusters since $z$$sim$0.9, with shorter time-scale processes being very likely responsible for a fraction of the missing SFG population.
We present a multi-component structural analysis of the internal structure of $1074$ high redshift massive galaxies at $1<z<3$ from the CANDELS HST Survey. In particular we examine galaxies best-fit by two structural components, and thus likely formi
ng discs and bulges. We examine the stellar mass, star formation rates, and colours of both the inner `bulge and outer `disc components for these systems using SED information from the resolved ACS+WFC3 HST imaging. We find that the majority of both inner and outer components lie in the star-forming region of UVJ space ($68$ and $90$ per cent respectively). However, the inner portions, or the likely forming bulges, are dominated by dusty star formation. Furthermore, we show that the outer components of these systems have a higher star formation rate than their inner regions, and the ratio of star formation rate between `disc and `bulge increases at lower redshifts. Despite the higher star formation rate of the outer component, the stellar mass ratio of inner to outer component remains constant through this epoch. This suggests that there is mass transfer from the outer to inner components for typical two component forming systems, thus building bulges from disks. Finally, using Chandra data we find that the presence of an AGN is more common in both $1$-component spheroid-like galaxies and $2$-component systems ($13pm3$ and $11pm2$ per cent) than in $1$-component disc-like galaxies ($3pm1$ per cent), demonstrating that the formation of a central inner-component likely triggers the formation of central massive black holes in these galaxies.
We investigate the evolution of galaxy masses and star formation rates in the Evolution and Assembly of Galaxies and their Environment (EAGLE) simulations. These comprise a suite of hydrodynamical simulations in a $Lambda$CDM cosmogony with subgrid m
odels for radiative cooling, star formation, stellar mass loss, and feedback from stars and accreting black holes. The subgrid feedback was calibrated to reproduce the observed present-day galaxy stellar mass function and galaxy sizes. Here we demonstrate that the simulations reproduce the observed growth of the stellar mass density to within 20 per cent. The simulation also tracks the observed evolution of the galaxy stellar mass function out to redshift z = 7, with differences comparable to the plausible uncertainties in the interpretation of the data. Just as with observed galaxies, the specific star formation rates of simulated galaxies are bimodal, with distinct star forming and passive sequences. The specific star formation rates of star forming galaxies are typically 0.2 to 0.4 dex lower than observed, but the evolution of the rates track the observations closely. The unprecedented level of agreement between simulation and data makes EAGLE a powerful resource to understand the physical processes that govern galaxy formation.
