“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

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
