Probing the galaxy-halo connection in UltraVISTA to $z\sim2$

Understand

We use percent-level precision photometric redshifts in the UltraVISTA-DR1 near-infrared survey to investigate the changing relationship be- tween galaxy stellar mass and the dark matter haloes hosting them to $z\sim2$.

• We achieve this by measuring the clustering properties and abundances of a series of volume-limited galaxy samples selected by stellar mass and star-formation activity.
• We interpret these results in the framework of a phenomenological halo model and numerical simulations.
• Our measurements span a uniquely large range in stellar mass and redshift and reach below the characteristic stellar mass to $z\sim2$.
