Modeling Spatially and Spectrally Resolved Observations to Diagnose the Formation of Elliptical Galaxies
(2013-09-30)In extragalactic astronomy, a central challenge is that we cannot directly watch what happens to galaxies before and after they are observed. This dissertation focuses on linking predictions of galaxy time-evolution directly ... -
Modeling the Evolution of Galaxy Properties across Cosmic Time with Numerical Simulations
(2014-06-06)We present a series of numerical galaxy formation studies which apply new numerical methods to produce increasingly realistic galaxy formation models. We first investigate the metallicity evolution of a large set of ...
