We utilise a series of high-resolution cosmological zoom simulations of galaxy formation to investigate the relationship between the ultraviolet (UV) slope, beta, and the ratio of the infrared luminosity to UV luminosity (IRX) in the…

We study two galaxy samples selected in ultraviolet (UV) and in far-infrared (FIR) for which the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from the far UV (FUV) to the FIR are available. We compare the observed SEDs to modelled SEDs with several…

Over the past few years ALMA has detected dust-rich galaxies whose cold dust emission is spatially disconnected from the UV rest-frame emission. This represents a challenge for modeling their spectral energy distributions with codes based…

Dust attenuation affects nearly all observational aspects of galaxy evolution, yet very little is known about the form of the dust-attenuation law in the distant Universe. Here, we model the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of galaxies…

Robust estimation of star formation rates (SFRs) at higher redshifts (z>1) using UV-optical-NIR photometry is contingent on the ability of spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to simultaneously constrain the dust attenuation, stellar…

The underlying distribution of galaxies' dust SEDs (i.e., their spectra re-radiated by dust from rest-frame $\sim$3$\mu$m-3mm) remains relatively unconstrained due to a dearth of FIR/(sub)mm data for large samples of galaxies. It has been…

Aims. We investigate dust attenuation of 122 heavily dust-obscured galaxies detected with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and Herschel in the COSMOS field. We search for correlations between dust attenuation recipes and the…

We investigate dust attenuation and its dependence on viewing angle for 308 star-forming galaxies at $1.3\leq z\leq2.6$ from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field (MOSDEF) survey. We divide galaxies with a detected H$\alpha$ emission line and…

We present Starduster, a supervised deep learning model that predicts the multi-wavelength SED from galaxy geometry parameters and star formation history by emulating dust radiative transfer simulations. The model is comprised of three…

Rest-frame far-ultraviolet (FUV) luminosities form the `backbone' of our understanding of star formation at all cosmic epochs. These luminosities are typically corrected for dust by assuming that the tight relationship between the UV…

The spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies provides fundamental information on the related physical processes. However, the SED is significantly affected by dust in its interstellar medium. Dust is mainly produced by asymptotic…
