THE PROGENITORS OF LOCAL ULTRA-MASSIVE GALAXIES ACROSS COSMIC TIME: FROM DUSTY STAR-BURSTING TO QUIESCENT STELLAR POPULATIONS

Using the Ultra VISTA catalogs, we investigate the evolution in the 11.4 Gyr since z = 3 of the progenitors of local ultra-massive galaxies (log(M sub(star)/M sub([middot in circle])) approximately 11.8; UMGs), providing a complete and consistent picture of how the most massive galaxies at z = 0 hav...
