These are simple renderings of preprogrammed paths through some of the CSI data.

- In three-dimensional comoving coordinates we show 30,000 galaxies from the CSI redshift catalog down to logM=10.3 dex. Blue spheres are those selected to be star-forming by their (U-V) and (V-J) colors, and yellow spheres are those selected to be quiescent by the same method (see,e.g., Williams et al 2009, Kelson et al 2014).

- In three-dimensional comoving coordinates we show 30,000 galaxies from the CSI redshift catalog down to logM=10.3 dex. Blue spheres are those selected to be star-forming by their (U-V) and (V-J) colors, and yellow spheres are those selected to be quiescent by the same method (see,e.g., Williams et al 2009, Kelson et al 2014). The volume is also filled by the average local star-formation rate density using red voxels of variable opacity (defined by the SFRD) of dimension 0.025 in redshift by 10 arcmin by 10 arcmin. Note the increase in the red fog as you are carried from z=0.2 to z=1.2.

xmmlss30kgalso2
- Here are 32,000 galaxies over 0.25<z<1.35, down to stellar masses of 10^10 Msun in the first 5.25 sq degs of the XMM-LSS SWIRE field. The colors of each galaxy are coded by their [OII]3727Å star-formation rates, increasing from red to blue. The sizes of the spheres are defined by the cube root of the stellar masses. This is the first movie of manually flying through the dataset, so there is some extra jitter. Kelson needs more practice flying. An arithmetical error also plagued the recorded velocities in the upper left corner, though the redshift of the camera is recorded accurately.
