Linking Star Formation Histories with Galaxy Assembly

Speaker Dr. Amanda E. Bauer
Affiliation Australian Astronomical Observatory, Sydney, Australia
Date October 4, 2011 (Tue)
Time 4:00 p.m.
Venue Room 522, 5/F, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, HKU

Abstract

As surveys of galaxy populations at high redshifts progress, it becomes increasingly urgent to understand how observed galaxies at high redshift map into those at lower redshift. In this talk, I investigate how and where stellar mass builds up over cosmic time by showing recent studies of the changing star-forming properties of galaxies as a function of stellar mass and environment from redshift three to present.

 

Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
