The spectral energy distribution (SED) of galaxies is essential for deriving fundamental properties like stellar mass and star formation history (SFH). However, conventional methods, including both parametric and non-parametric approaches,…

The color - stellar mass-to-light ratio relation (CMLR) is a widely accepted tool to estimate the stellar mass (M*) of a galaxy. However, an individual CMLR tends to give distinct M* for a same galaxy when it is applied in different bands.…

The stellar mass ($M_\star$) and the star-formation rate (SFR) are among the most important features that characterize galaxies. Measuring these fundamental properties accurately is critical for understanding the present state of galaxies,…

Star Formation Histories (SFHs) reveal physical processes that influence how galaxies form their stellar mass. We compare the SFHs of a sample of 36 nearby (D $\leq$ 4 Mpc) dwarf galaxies from the ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST),…

We present a detailed analysis of our ability to determine stellar masses, ages, reddening and extinction values, and star formation rates of high-redshift galaxies by modeling broad-band SEDs with stellar population synthesis. In order to…

We characterise the stellar masses and star formation rates in a sample of almost 40000 spectroscopically confirmed UV luminous galaxies at 0.3<z<1.0 selected from within the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. In particular, we match this UV…

Context. Most of our knowledge on the stellar component of galaxies is based on the analysis of distant systems and comes from integrated light data. It is important to test whether the results of the star formation histories (SFH) obtained…

By utilizing the spatially-resolved photometry of galaxies at $0.2<z<3.0$ in the CEERS field, we estimate the resolved and unresolved stellar mass via spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to study the discrepancy between them. We…

We use a robust sample of 11 z~7 galaxies (z-dropouts) to estimate the stellar mass density of the universe when it was only ~750 Myr old. We combine the very deep optical to near-Infrared photometry from the HST ACS and NICMOS cameras with…

The estimation of galaxy stellar masses depends on the assumed prior of the star-formation history (SFH) and spatial scale of the analysis (spatially resolved versus integrated scales). In this paper, we connect the prescription of the SFH…
