1 “Artists can color the sky red because they know it’s blue. Those of us who aren’t artists must color things the way they are or people might think we’re stupid.” Jules Feiffer

2 Red Galaxies at High Redshift Stijn Wuyts, Marijn Franx, Pieter van Dokkum, Ivo Labbé, Natascha Förster Schreiber, Greg Rudnick, TJ Cox, Phil Hopkins, Brant Robertson, Lars Hernquist When did the stars in galaxies form? How was the mass in galaxies assembled?

15 Stellar population synthesis Wood 1966

16 Evolutionary stellar population synthesis Bruzual & Charlot 2003

17 Evolutionary stellar population synthesis Star formation history SSP, exponentially declining (τ300), CSF

18 Evolutionary stellar population synthesis Dust screen (Calzetti et al. 2000)

19 SED modeling - results Red galaxies at high redshift do not form a uniform population.

20 Red galaxies at high redshift dominate at the high mass end. SED modeling - results

21 Red galaxies dominate the total IR emission at high redshift. SED modeling - results

22 Testing SED modeling with simulations

23 Wide range of spectral types Have real universe equivalents Testing SED modeling with simulations

24 Mismatch real vs. template SFH → Impossible to correct for difference light- vs. mass-weighted Impact of star formation history

25 Impact of dust Increased extinction towards young stellar regions reduces offset light- vs. mass-weighted properties.

26 Mismatch real vs. template SFH → Impossible to correct for difference light- vs. mass-weighted → Less severe in the presence of age-dependent extinction Impact of dust IntrinsicAttenuated

27 Every observer is limited by the light he/she receives. Impact of dust Effective reddening Effective extinction

28 Input: Calzetti, MW or SMC reddening curve Effective reddening: greyer than Calzetti Impact of dust

29 Modeling sub-solar stellar populations with solar-metallicity templates. → underestimate reddening → underestimate extinction Impact of metallicity

30 Real: Stars + AGN → Recovered: younger & dustier stellar pop. Impact of AGN

31 Testing SED modeling with simulations: results

45 Emlen 1967, 1970 After man, the indigo bunting is the best documented example of a species that in its earthly life uses celestial bodies outside the solar system.
