We perform a pixel-by-pixel analysis of 467 galaxies in the GOODS-VIMOS survey to study systematic effects in extracting properties of stellar populations (age, dust, metallicity and SFR) from pixel colors using the pixel-z method. The…

Subdwarf B stars (sdBs) can significantly change the ultraviolet spectra of populations at age t~1Gyr, and have been even included in the volutionary population synthesis (EPS) models by Han et al. (2007). In this study we present the…

We present a new tool for the photometric estimate of stellar masses in distant galaxies. The observed SEDs are fitted by combining single stellar populations, with different SFRs and amounts of dust extinction. This approach gives us the…

The Probabilistic Value-Added Bright Galaxy Survey (PROVABGS) catalog will provide the posterior distributions of physical properties of $>10$ million DESI Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) galaxies. Each posterior distribution will be inferred…
