"Spectroscopy of Massive Galaxies to z=2 with the Gemini Deep Deep Survey"
TALK ABSTRACT: -------------- I will report on results from the Gemini Deep Deep Survey of galaxies in the former redshift desert (1<z<2), in particular: the evolution in the space density of massive galaxies, the discovery of elliptical/bulge-dominated galaxies with old stellar populations to redshift z=2, and the "downsizing" evolution of galaxy properties such as star-formation rate.
