Predicting Quiescence: The Dependence of Specific Star Formation Rate on Galaxy Size and Central Density at 0.5 < z < 2.5

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between star formation and structure, using a mass-complete sample of 27,893 galaxies at 0.5. 0.5 dex in the central density threshold correlated with quiescence from z.similar to. 0.7-2.0. Neither a compact size nor high-n are sufficient to assess the likelihood of quiescence for the average galaxy; instead, the combination of these two parameters together with M* results in a unique quenching threshold in central density/velocity.NASA through Hubble Fellowship - Space Telescope Science Institute [HST-HF2-51368]; NASA [NAS 5-26555, NAS5-26555]; 3D-HST Treasury Program [GO 12177, 12328]; NASA/ ESA HSTThis item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
