Massive galaxies are unique for both cosmology and galaxy formation. Here we summarize recent results on the assembly of massive galaxies and their galaxy-halo connections using the deep images from the ambitious Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey.

• Average i-band seeing 0.6”
• i-band surface brightness limit:
~28.5 mag/arcsec2

9. Photometry of Massive Galaxies using HSC
•Large sample of massive galaxies
with spectroscopic redshift at
0.3<z<0.5.
•Estimate average M/L using 5-
band SED fitting (Chabrier IMF).
•Empirically correct the
background
•Build our own pipeline to detect
and mask surrounding objects.

❖ Comparison with Hydro-simulations (with Felipe Arbilla)
❖ Intrinsic and observed scatter of SMHR (with Christopher Bradshaw)
❖ Better 2-D photometric models for massive galaxies (with Rajdipa
Chowdhury and Dane Cross)
❖ Forward modeling the M100kpc-M10kpc-Mhalo relations with help from
the UniverseMachine model (Peter Behroozi, Andrew Hearin)
❖ Better “cluster finder” using just properties of central galaxies
❖ Radial variation of isophote shapes and the intrinsic shape of
stellar halos
