The Star Formation History of Field Galaxies

Piero Madau, Lucia Pozzetti, Mark Dickinson

We develop a method for interpreting faint galaxy data which focuses on the integrated light radiated from the galaxy population as a whole. The emission history of the universe at…

The Discovery of Primeval Galaxies and the Epoch of Galaxy Formation

Max Pettini, Charles C. Steidel, Kurt L. Adelberger +3

We review the steps which have led to the discovery of a widespread population of objects at z = 3 with many of the characteristics which we expect for primeval galaxies, and empha…

The Evolution of Early-Type Galaxies in Distant Clusters

S. A. Stanford, Peter R. Eisenhardt, Mark Dickinson

We present results from an optical-IR photometric study of early-type galaxies in 19 galaxy clusters out to z=0.9. The galaxy sample is selected on the basis of morphologies determ…

The Spectra of Star Forming Galaxies at High Redshift

Max Pettini, Charles C. Steidel, Mark Dickinson +3

We review the spectral properties of the population of star forming galaxies at z = 3 discovered using a colour selection technique which targets the Lyman discontinuity at 912 Ang…

Properties of High Redshift Cluster Ellipticals

Mark Dickinson

Cluster ellipticals are often thought to be among the oldest galaxies in the universe, with the bulk of their stellar mass formed at early cosmic epochs. I review recent observatio…
