AbstractWe demonstrate that massive simulated galaxies assemble in two phases, with the initial growth dominated by compact in situ star formation, whereas the late growth is dominated by accretion of old stars formed in subunits outside the main galaxy. We also show that 1) gravitational feedback strongly suppresses late star formation in massive galaxies contributing to the observed galaxy colour bimodality that 2) the observed galaxy downsizing can be explained naturally in the two-phased model and finally that 3) the details of the assembly histories of massive galaxies are directly connected to their observed kinematic properties.

AbstractThe colour-magnitude diagrams of resolved stellar populations are the best tool to study the star formation histories of the host galactic regions. In this review the method to derive star formation histories by means of synthetic colour-magnitude diagrams is briefly outlined, and the results of its application to resolved galaxies of various morphological types are summarized. It is shown that all the galaxies studied so far were already forming stars at the lookback time reached by the observational data, independently of morphological type and metallicity. Early-type galaxies have formed stars predominantly, but in several cases not exclusively, at the earliest epochs. All the other galaxies appear to have experienced rather continuous star formation activities throughout their lifetimes, although with significant rate variations and, sometimes, short quiescent phases.

AbstractMulti-wavelength photometry of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the COSMOS survey is used to demonstrate that the low-level star formation activity in the ETG population at late epochs (z < 1) is likely to be driven by repeated minor mergers. While relaxed ETGs are almost entirely contained within the UV red sequence, their morphologically disturbed counterparts are largely found in the blue cloud, regardless of luminosity. Since empirically determined major-merger rates in the redshift range z < 1 are a few factors too low to account for the number fraction of disturbed ETGs, this suggests that minor mergers are the principal mechanism that drives star formation activity in ETGs at low and intermediate redshift.
