A Complete 16 $\mu$m selected Galaxy Sample at $z \sim 1$. II: Morphological Analysis

Understand

We present morphological analysis of the 16$\mu$m flux-density-limited galaxy sample at 0.8$<z<$1.3 from arXiv:2103.04585.

• At the targeted redshift, the 16$\mu$m emission corresponds to the Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) feature from intense star formation, or dust heated by AGN (Active galactic nuclei).
• Our sample of 479 galaxies are dominated by Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs, 67\%) in three CANDLES fields (EGS, GOODS-N, and GOODS-S), and are further divided into AGN dominated, star-forming dominated, composite, and blue compact galaxies by their spectral energy distribution (SED) types.
• The majority of our sample (71\%) have disky morphologies, with the few AGN dominated galaxies being more bulge-dominanted than the star-forming dominated and composite galaxies.
