K band observations of the galaxy populations of three high redshift (z=0.8-1.0), X-ray selected, massive clusters are presented. The observations reach a depth of K = 21.5, corresponding to K*+3.5 mag. The evolution of the galaxy…
We have studied the viability of new theoretical models which combine a chemical evolution code, an evolutionary synthesis code and a photoionization code, to understand the star formation and evolution of H{\sc ii} galaxies. The emission…
We present far-ultraviolet (far-UV) images of the rich galaxy cluster ZwCl1358.1+6245, taken with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). When combined with archival HST observations, our data…
We investigate the evolution of the universal rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity density from z = 1.5 to the present. We analyze an extensive sample of multicolor data (U', B, V = 24.5) plus spectroscopic redshifts from the Hawaii Survey…
Connecting the observed rest-ultraviolet (UV) luminosities of high-$z$ galaxies to their intrinsic luminosities (and thus star formation rates) requires correcting for the presence of dust. We bypass a common dust-correction approach that…
Evolutionary studies that compare galaxy structure as a function of redshift are complicated by the fact that any particular galaxy's appearance depends in part on the rest-frame wavelength of the observation. This leads to the necessity…
Using the Subaru very deep K'-band imaging and HST WFPC2/NICMOS archival data of the Hubble Deep Field North, we investigate the evolution of the stellar mass, color, morphology of galaxies to z ~ 3. We mainly examine the rest-frame U-V…
The clustering properties of faint K<24 galaxies are measured in ultradeep J, H and K near-IR images of the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S), obtained with ISAAC at the VLT. A relatively large clustering amplitude is found up to K=24, at a…
We estimate systematic errors due to K-corrections in standard photometric analyses of high redshift Type Ia supernovae. Errors due to K-correction occur when the spectral template model underlying the lightcurve fitter poorly represents…
We present a new methodology to determine the expansion history of the Universe analyzing the spectral properties of early type galaxies (ETG). We found that for these galaxies the 4000\AA break is a spectral feature that correlates with…
A new method is developed for estimating photometric redshifts, using realistic template SEDs, extending over four decades in wavelength (i.e from 0.05 $\mu m$ to 1 mm). The SEDs are constructed for four different spectral types of galaxies…
A variety of subtle, and not-so-subtle selection effects influence the interpretation of galaxy counts, sizes and redshift distributions in the Hubble Deep Field. Comparison of the different HDF catalogs available in the literature and on…
Modern data empower observers to describe galaxies as the spatially and biographically complex objects they are. We illustrate this through case studies of four, $z\sim1.3$ systems based on deep, spatially resolved, 17-band + G102 + G141…
The integrated colors of distant galaxies provide a means for interpreting the properties of their stellar content. Here, we use rest-frame UV-to-optical colors to constrain the spectral-energy distributions and stellar populations of…
We study the ultraviolet to far-infrared (hereafter UV-to-IR) SEDs of a sample of intermediate redshift (0.2 < z < 0.7) UV-selected galaxies from the ELAIS-N1 and ELAIS-N2 fields by fitting a multi-wavelength dataset to a library of GRASIL…
I review the observational constraints on the stars responsible for the upturn in the UV spectra of ellipticals, ranging from galaxies in the local Universe to distant clusters. In nearby galaxies, this UV upturn is produced by a minority…
We present HST images of star-forming galaxies at redshifts z>3. These galaxies have been color selected for having a Lyman discontinuity in the otherwise flat (in f_\nu units) UV spectra of unreddened star formation. The spectroscopic…
Synthetic photometry is a great tool for studying globular clusters, especially for understanding the nature of their multiple populations. Our goal is to quantify the errors on synthetic photometry that are caused by uncertainties on…
A one-zone chemo-spectro-photometric model is used to investigate the time evolution of disk galaxies whose star formation is truncated, and to determine the dependence of this evolution on the previous star formation history and the…
Wide-field optical and near--IR ($JHK$) imaging is presented for two rich galaxy clusters: Abell~370 at $z=0.374$ and Abell~851 (Cl0939+47) at $z=0.407$. Galaxy catalogs selected from the near--IR images are 90\% complete to approximately…
