Overview of the L A M Main research axes: • Formation and evolution of galaxies, Cosmology • Interstellar medium • Extra-solar planets Instrumental developments: optics: UV, visible, FIR, Ground based and spatial instrumentation HST, ISO, GALEX, VIMOS,COROT, Herschel, TPF, SNAP, JWST, ELT
Research activities at LAM in relation with MAGPOP Galaxy Evolution, Observational Cosmology ~20 permanent researchers +PhD students & post-docs Involved in MAGPOP: V.Buat, L. Tresse, S. Arnouts, A. Boselli, D Burgarella , J. Iglesias (LAM associate researcher) & M. Treyer Research topics (overview) Physical properties of galaxies: spectral energy distributions, star formation, dust attenuation, environmental effects etc… Statistical studies: number counts, photo-z, morphology, luminosity functions, luminosity densities, correlation functions etc…
Expertise in data analysis • Spectroscopic analyses, diagnostics • Multi-wavelength imaging: UV-opt-FIR • Redshift determinations: Zspec, Zphot • Luminosity functions and densities • Environment, clustering, correlation functions • Modeling: SFR,SFH, dust attenuation • Morphological analysis
