Exploring star formation in high-mass galaxies in the low-z universe
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)We present a quantitative analysis of high-mass, low-z galaxies in order to investigate the 'downsizing' scenario of galaxy evolution. High-mass, low-z galaxies with ongoing star formation, antithetical to the 'downsizing' ... -
Galaxy evolution as seen by Herschel
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The unprecedented Herschel data have revolutionized our view of the IR universe, providing new insights to galaxy formation and evolution. However, the Herschel data are still far away from being fully explored, mainly due ... -
Optical-faint compact radio sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)This work investigates a population of bright, compact radio sources that are very faint in optical, which has never been studied before in a comprehensive manner. The sample consists of 135 radio sources selected from the ... -
Synergy of wide-field infrared survey explorer (WISE) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in Stripe 82
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)In this dissertation, I aim to study the evolution of galaxies over the last 6 Gyr by measuring the growth of the global stellar mass density (GSMD) since z = 0.8. My work combines the datasets from two very large surveys, ...
