We explore the evolution of the specific star formation rate (SSFR) for 3.6um-selected galaxies of different M_* in the COSMOS field. The average SFR for sub-sets of these galaxies is estimated with stacked 1.4GHz radio continuum emission.…

We study the evolution of star formation activity of galaxies at 0.5<z<3.5 as a function of stellar mass, using very deep NIR data taken with Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) on the Subaru telescope in the GOODS-North…

We combine recent estimates of dust extinction at z~4-7 with UV luminosity function (LF) determinations to derive star formation rate (SFR) functions at z~4, 5, 6 and 7. SFR functions provide a more physical description of galaxy build-up…

ALMA observations of the long wavelength dust continuum are used to estimate the interstellar medium (ISM) masses in a sample of 708 galaxies at z = 0.3 to 4.5 in the COSMOS field. The galaxy sample has known far-infrared luminosities and,…

My colleagues and I identified distant red galaxies (DRGs) with J-K>2.3 mag in the GOODS-S field. These galaxies reside at z~1-3.5, (<z>=2.2) and based on their ACS (0.4-1 micron), ISAAC (1-2.2 micron), and IRAC (3-8 micron) photometry,…

I discuss current observational constraints on the star-formation and stellar-assembly histories of galaxies at high redshifts. The data on massive galaxies at z<1 implies that their stellar populations formed at z>2, and that their…

The Star Formation Rate Density (SFRD) history of the Universe is well constrained up to redshift $z \sim 2$. At earlier cosmic epochs, the picture has been largely inferred from UV-selected galaxies (e.g. Lyman-break galaxies, LBGs).…

We analyze the dependence of galaxy structure (size and Sersic index) and mode of star formation (\Sigma_SFR and SFR_IR/SFR_UV) on the position of galaxies in the SFR versus Mass diagram. Our sample comprises roughly 640000 galaxies at…

The epoch when low-mass star forming galaxies (LMSFGs) form the bulk of their stellar mass is uncertain. While some models predict an early formation, others favor a delayed scenario until later ages of the universe. We present constraints…

A sample of 12614 star-forming galaxies (SFGs) with stellar mass >10^9.5 M_sun between 0.6<z<0.8 from COSMOS is selected to study the intrinsic scatter of the correlation between star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass. We derive SFR…

We analyze star formation (SF) as a function of stellar mass (M_*) and redshift z in the All Wavelength Extended Groth Strip International Survey (AEGIS), for star-forming field galaxies with M_* >~ 10^10 M_sun out to z=1.1. The data…

We provide a coherent, uniform measurement of the evolution of the logarithmic star formation rate (SFR) - stellar mass ($M_*$) relation, called the main sequence of star-forming galaxies (MS), for galaxies out to $z\sim5$. We measure the…

[abridged] The star formation rates (SFR) of low-metallicity galaxies depend sensitively on the gas metallicity, because metals are crucial to mediating the transition from intermediate-temperature atomic gas to cold molecular gas, a…

The redshift-dependent relation between galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate (the Star-Forming Sequence, or SFS) is a key observational yardstick for galaxy assembly. We use the SAGAbg-A sample of background galaxies from the…

We study the relationship between the local environment of galaxies and their star formation rate (SFR) in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey, GOODS, at z~1, from ultradeep imaging at 24 microns with the MIPS camera onboard…

Using a mass-limited sample of 24um-detected, star-forming galaxies at 0.5<z<1.3, we study the mass-star formation rate (SFR) correlation and its tightness. The correlation is well defined (sigma=0.28dex) for disk galaxies (n_sersic<1.5),…

We investigate the star formation histories (SFHs) of a sample of massive galaxies ($M_\star \geq 10^{10} \, M_\odot$) in the redshift range $1 < z < 4.5$. We analyze spectro-photometric data combining broadband photometry from HST and JWST…
