5
The star-formation history of dwarf galaxies Dolf Michielsen (YR) & Reynier Peletier Nottingham, Marseille & UCM teams
6
UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey Ultra Deep Survey Omar Almaini & Sebastien Foucaud & the UKDSS team (Joint UK—ESO project) UDS: 0.77 sq. deg to K=23.0 (7-year programme) Milestone: completed the first year of data collection and produced the first data release. Some very interesting science already + large potential for MAGPOP science
7
UDS highlights: Discovery of galaxy clusters at 0.6 < z < 1.4 Large scale map of distant red galaxies and extremely red objects Finding a significant sample of massive galaxies at redshifts z>5
8
Galaxy evolution in cluster environments: ESO Distant Clusters Survey (EDisCS) Nottingham, Padova, MPA, IAP, JHU CL1354.1-1231 z=0.76
9
Evolution of galaxy morphologies CL1037.5-1243 z=0.58 HST images
10
VLT spectra Star formation in different environments
11
CL1232.3-1250 z=0.54 The build-up of the colour-magnitude relation VLT images
12
Summary: High level of MAGPOP-related activities at the University of Nottingham involving staff, postdocs and students. Science highlights: Star-formation history in dwarf galaxies Very deep Infrared Surveys (UDS) Galaxy evolution in cluster environments
