progenitors of bulge-dominated galaxies

It was a sad day yesterday, as it was the last day for Quintero at NYU; we will miss him!

Quintero led group meeting; he spoke about a new project we have conceived to find the progenitors of bulge-dominated, red, dead galaxies. We think we will be able to use their statistics to test or constrain the emerging picture that AGN feedback must be involved. We can also refine the limit from Quintero et al (2004) on the birth rate of new bulges.
