Beware the recent past: a bias in spectral energy distribution modelling due to bursty star formation

P. Haskell, S. Das, D. J. B. Smith +3

We investigate how the recovery of galaxy star formation rates (SFRs) using energy-balance spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting codes depends on their recent star formation h…

Energy balance SED modelling can be effective at high redshifts regardless of UV-FIR offsets

P. Haskell, D. J. B. Smith, R. K. Cochrane +2

Recent works have suggested that energy balance spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting codes may be of limited use for studying high-redshift galaxies for which the observed ul…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey: the radio view of the cosmic star formation history

R. K. Cochrane, R. Kondapally, P. N. Best +9

We present a detailed study of the cosmic star formation history over per cent of cosmic time (), using deep, radio continuum observations that probe sta…

The bright end of the infrared luminosity functions and the abundance of hyperluminous infrared galaxies

L. Wang, F. Gao, P. N. Best +20

We provide the most accurate estimate yet of the bright end of the infrared (IR) luminosity functions (LFs) and the abundance of hyperluminous IR galaxies (HLIRGs) with IR luminosi…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep fields: The star formation rate - radio luminosity relation at low frequencies

D. J. B. Smith, P. Haskell, G. Gürkan +17

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between 150MHz luminosity and star formation rate (the SFR-L150 relation) using 150MHz measurements for a near-infrared selected samp…

Cosmic evolution of low-excitation radio galaxies in the LOFAR Two-meter Sky Survey Deep Fields

R. Kondapally, P. N. Best, R. K. Cochrane +16

Feedback from low-excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) plays a key role in the lifecycle of massive galaxies in the local Universe; their evolution, and the impact of these active gal…

The LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep fields: A new analysis of low-frequency radio luminosity as a star-formation tracer in the Lockman Hole region

M. Bonato, I. Prandoni, G. De Zotti +14

We have exploited LOFAR deep observations of the Lockman Hole field at 150 MHz to investigate the relation between the radio luminosity of star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and their st…

Radio-AGN activity across the galaxy population: dependence on stellar mass, star-formation rate, and redshift

R. Kondapally, P. N. Best, K. J. Duncan +16

We characterise the co-evolution of radio-loud AGN and their galaxies by mapping the dependence of radio-loud AGN activity on stellar mass and star-formation rate (SFR) across cosm…
