Identifying the progenitors of present-day early-type galaxies in observational surveys: Correcting 'progenitor bias' using the Horizon-AGN simulation
As endpoints of the hierarchical mass-assembly process, the stellar populations of local earlytype galaxies encode the assembly history of galaxies over cosmic time. We useHorizon-AGN, a cosmological hydrodynamical simulation, to study the merger histories of local early-type galaxies and track how...
