The morphology of galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. (2011)

Keywords : surveys - galaxies elliptical and lenticular, cD - galaxies: photometry - galaxies: spiral - cosmology: observations

Abstract:We study the morphology and size of the luminous and massive galaxies at 0.3<z<0.7 targeted in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) using publicly available Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, and catalogues, from the COSMic Origins Survey (COSMOS). Our sample (240 objects) provides a unique opportunity to check the visual morphology of these galaxies which were targeted based solely on stellar population modelling. ...(more)
