We present a study of the cosmic infrared background, which is a measure of the dust obscured activity in all galaxies in the Universe. We venture to isolate the galaxies responsible for the background at 1mm; with spectroscopic and photometric redshifts we constrain the redshift distribution of these galaxies. We create a deep 1.16mm map (sigma ~ 0.5mJy) by combining the AzTEC 1.1mm and MAMBO 1.2mm datasets in GOODS-N. This combined map contains 41 secure detections, 13 of which are new. By averaging the 1.16mm flux densities of individually undetected galaxies with 24um flux densities > 25uJy, we resolve 31--45 per …


Improving The Estimation Of Star Formation Rates And Stellar Population Ages Of High-Redshift Galaxies From Broadband Photometry, Seong-Kook Lee, Henry C. Ferguson, Rachel S. Somerville, Tommy Wiklind, Mauro Giavalisco Jan 2010

Improving The Estimation Of Star Formation Rates And Stellar Population Ages Of High-Redshift Galaxies From Broadband Photometry, Seong-Kook Lee, Henry C. Ferguson, Rachel S. Somerville, Tommy Wiklind, Mauro Giavalisco

Mauro Giavalisco

We explore methods to improve the estimates of star formation rates and mean stellar population ages from broadband photometry of high redshift star-forming galaxies. We use synthetic spectral templates with a variety of simple parametric star formation histories to fit broadband spectral energy distributions. These parametric models are used to infer ages, star formation rates and stellar masses for a mock data set drawn from a hierarchical semi-analytic model of galaxy evolution. Traditional parametric models generally assume an exponentially declining rate of star-formation after an initial instantaneous rise. Our results show that star formation histories with a much more gradual …


Biases And Uncertainties In Physical Parameter Estimates Of Lyman Break Galaxies From Broad-Band Photometry, Seong-Kook Lee, Rafal Idzi, Henry C. Ferguson, Rachel S. Somerville, Tommy Wiklind, Mauro Giavalisco Jan 2008

Biases And Uncertainties In Physical Parameter Estimates Of Lyman Break Galaxies From Broad-Band Photometry, Seong-Kook Lee, Rafal Idzi, Henry C. Ferguson, Rachel S. Somerville, Tommy Wiklind, Mauro Giavalisco

Mauro Giavalisco

We investigate the biases and uncertainties in estimates of physical parameters of high-redshift Lyman break galaxies (LBGs), such as stellar mass, mean stellar population age, and star formation rate (SFR), obtained from broad-band photometry. By combining LCDM hierarchical structure formation theory, semi-analytic treatments of baryonic physics, and stellar population synthesis models, we construct model galaxy catalogs from which we select LBGs at redshifts z ~ 3.4, 4.0, and 5.0. The broad-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of these model LBGs are then analysed by fitting galaxy template SEDs derived from stellar population synthesis models with smoothly declining SFRs. We compare the …
