Intrinsic Characteristics Of Galaxies In The Distant Universe: The Correlation Between Galaxy Morphology And Star Formation Activity, Bomee Lee
Doctoral Dissertations
One of the major questions in observational cosmology is how galaxies formed and how they evolved. In particular, understanding the assembly history of galaxies at the peak epoch of the star formation activity, z=1-3, is a key to understanding the whole picture of the Universe, but remains uncertain. Galaxies with various physical properties and morphologies have different formation and evolution histories. As such, we seek insight into galaxy formation and evolution at z=1-3 using galaxies selected from Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) in this dissertation. First, we investigate the relationship between spectral types and morphologies using various …
