Valuable insights into galaxy evolution can be gleaned from studies of resolved stellar populations in the local Universe. Deep photometric surveys have provided tracers of the star-formation histories in galaxies from 0.8-16 Mpc, but…

The Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS), which is the widest deep field radio survey so far attempted, aims to probe the evolution of radio galaxies out to the edge of the Universe. Using AAOmega on the Anglo-Australian Telescope…
