Bright Side versus Dark Side of Star Formation — Uv and Ir Views
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is a review talk on the UV and infrared selected galaxies. The central question addressed is: do UV and infrared surveys see the 2 sides of star formation of the same population, or star formation of 2 different populations? We first review the literature on the UV and IR selected galaxy samples, try to quantify the difference and overlaps between these two populations of star forming galaxies. We then present some preliminary results of a GALEX/SWIRE comparison study for IR and UV selected galaxies at z=0.6, in an attempt to constrain the evolution of the dust attenuation and of stellar mass of these galaxies.

Characterizing Precursors to Stellar Clusters with Herschel ⋆
Context. Despite their profound effect on the universe, the formation of massive stars and stellar clusters remains elusive. Recent advances in observing facilities and computing power have brought us closer to understanding this formation process. In the past decade, compelling evidence has emerged that suggests Infrared Dark Clouds (IRDCs) may be precursors to stellar clusters. However, the u...
متن کاملThe dark side of star formation in galaxy clusters: spectroscopic follow-up of clusters observed with ISOCAM
The evolution of galaxies in cluster environments can be studied using mid-IR observations which trace star forming regions hidden by dust. The optical follow-up of A1689 (z=0.2), observed at 6.7 and 15 μm by ISOCAM, have revealed a systematic excess of the B-[15 μm] galaxy color distribution with respect that of Coma and Virgo clusters. This result suggests the existence of a dark side of the ...
متن کاملThe GALEX Extended Mission: Surveying UV Tracers of the Hidden Side of Galaxy Evolution
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) continues its surveys of the ultraviolet sky. GALEX surveys have supported the following galaxy evolution investigations: calibrating UV as a star formation rate tracer, using wide and deep surveys to measure star formation history, studying the evolution of dust extinction and metallicity, selecting and analyzing galaxies in transitory states, finding loca...
متن کاملSpatially Resolved Ultraviolet, H , Infrared, and Radio Star Formation in M81
We present Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) observations of M81 at 24, 70, and 160 μm. The grand design nature of M81 is clearly seen, showing two well resolved spiral arms containing numerous bright star forming regions. The MIPS images reveal a significant amount of cold dust associated with the spiral arms. We investigate the variation of the ultraviolet (UV), Hα, and infrared...
متن کاملMassive Galaxies at Redshift 2 in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations
We study the properties of galaxies at redshift z = 2 in a Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) universe, using two different types of hydrodynamic simulation methods – Eulerian TVD and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) – and a spectrophotometric analysis in the Un, G, R filter set. The simulated galaxies at z = 2 satisfy the color-selection criteria proposed by Adelberger et al. (2004) and Steidel et...
