We have shown previously that galaxy counts from the UV to the near-IR are well-fitted by simple evolutionary models where the space density of galaxies remains constant with look-back time while the star-formation rate rises exponentially.…

We present a detailed model of the absolute number counts, color and redshift distributions of gravitational arclets observed in clusters of galaxies. The framework adopted for galaxy evolution is chosen to fairly reproduce the observed…

We combine magnitude and photometric redshift data on galaxies in the Hubble Deep Fields with morphological classifications in order to separate out the distributions for early type galaxies. The updated morphological galaxy number counts…

The size, shape and degree of emptiness of void interiors sheds light on the details of galaxy formation. A particularly interesting question is whether void interiors are completely empty or contain a dwarf population. However the nearby…

(Abridged) This paper predicts self-consistent faint galaxy counts from the UV to the submm wavelength range. The STARDUST spectral energy distributions described in Devriendt et al. (1999) are embedded within the explicit cosmological…

This paper presents the results of a photometric redshift study of galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). The method of determining redshifts from broadband colors is described, and the dangers inherent in using it to estimate redshifts,…

To distinguish between the different models proposed to understand the excess of faint field counts over the predictions from non-evolving models, a number of redshift surveys have been undertaken. The answer has not arrived yet due to the…

A constant age population of blue galaxies, postulated in the model of Gronwall & Koo (1995), seems to provide an attractive explanation of the excess of very blue galaxies in the deep galaxy counts. Such a population may be generated by a…

We use the number counts of X-ray selected normal galaxies to explore their evolution by combining the most recent wide-angle shallow and pencil-beam deep samples available. The differential X-ray number counts, dN/dS, for early and…

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey is now well underway, having already measured the redshifts to ~5600 galaxies in its first season of observations. Here I briefly review the survey itself, before discussing in more detail some of the…

In a companion paper we outlined a methodology for generating parameter-free, model-independent ``no-evolution'' fields of faint galaxy images, demonstrating the need for significant evolution in the HDF at faint magnitudes. Here we…

Galaxy number counts in the $K$-, $H$-, $I$-, $R$-, $B$- and $U$-bands from the Durham Extragalactic Astronomy and Cosmology catalogue could be well-fitted over their whole range using luminosity function (LF) parameters derived from the…

In the model of low-energy quantum gravity by the author, cosmological redshifts are caused by interactions of photons with gravitons. Non-forehead collisions with gravitons will lead to an additional relaxation of any photonic flux. Using…

High-redshift galaxy clusters allow us to examine galaxy formation in extreme environments. Here we compile data for 15 $z>1$ galaxy clusters to test the predictions from a state-of-the-art semi-analytical model of galaxy formation. The…

We examine the usefulness of the strong lensing statistics to constrain the evolution of the number density of lensing galaxies by adopting the values of the cosmological parameters determined by recent WMAP observation. For this purpose,…

We use star counts from 13 deep HST fields imaged with the {\it Wide Field Camera - 2} in order to constrain the amount of dark matter in the Galaxy that can be in the form of low-mass main sequence stars or white-dwarfs. Based on the…

The abundances of groups and clusters of galaxies are expected to have changed substantially since high redshift, with the strength of this evolution dependent upon fundamental cosmological parameters. Upcoming large redshift surveys of…

Galaxy number counts probe the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time, and serve as a valuable comparison point to theoretical models of galaxy formation. We present new galaxy number counts in eight photometric bands between 5 and 25…

This is the second of two papers describing a model of galactic evolution in the submillimetre waveband. The model incorporates a self-consistent treatment of the evolution of dust and stars, is normalized to the submillimetre properties of…
