A simulation study finds that a hot gas halo at galaxy total mass ~10^12.5 solar masses suppresses cool gas accretion, driving a redshift-independent turnover in the stellar-to-total mass ratio via reduced in-situ star formation efficiency.
A Hubble-like sequence of galaxy morphologies exists by redshift 4, with low-mass galaxies as persistent star-forming disks and massive galaxies following either stable disk or rapid compaction-quenching paths.
Dust attenuation follows a universal mass-dependent relation from z=0 to 7 with a transition at 10^9 solar masses where nebular attenuation steepens relative to stellar.
