We present the near–infrared (H–band: λ = 1.65 μm) κ–space (κ1 ∝ log M, κ2 ∝ log Ie, κ3 ∝ log M/L) of high surface–brightness early and late type galaxies, based on a sample of 419 objects optically selected in regions of the A262, Cancer, and Virgo clusters and of the Coma Supercluster. We discuss the distribution of the pressure–supported and rotationally–supported systems within this space and the ensuing scaling relations. We analyze the link between galaxy structure and star formation history through a comparison of the loci occupied by galaxies of the Local Universe in both the near–infrared (this work) and optical κ–spaces. Our results support scenarios of galaxy formation and evolution with the following fundamental ingredients: collapsing proto–galactic systems are characterized by i) a bimodal distribution in mass and angular momentum; and by ii) a mass–dependent characteristic star formation time scale.

AbstractI review work on modelling the infrared and submillimetre SEDs of galaxies. The underlying physical assumptions are discussed and spherically symmetric, axisymmetric, and 3-dimensional radiative transfer codes are reviewed. Models for galaxies with Spitzer IRS data and for galaxies in the Herschel-Hermes survey are discussed. Searches for high redshift infrared and submillimetre galaxies, the star formation history, the evolution of dust extinction, and constraints from source-counts, are briefly discussed.

AbstractUnderstanding the effect of environment on galaxy formation and evolution is one of the hot topics in extragalactic astronomy. Here we constructed a chemical evolution model of disk galaxies. By comparing the model predictions with the observed profiles, we investigated the star formation history of M33, NGC 300 and NGC 2403. We found that M33 has much longer infall timescale than NGC 300 and NGC 2403, and the star formation process of M33 is still active at later phase. Our results suggested that the cold gas supply of M33 is sufficient in the present-day, which may originate from the HI bridge between M33 and M31. In other words, we argue that the local environment plays an important role on the star formation history of a galaxy, at least for M33.

AbstractProtoclusters at high redshifts are the ideal laboratories to study how the environmental dependences of galaxy properties seen in local Universe were initially set up when the progenitors of present-day early-type galaxies were in their early formation phases. We have conducted a deep near-infrared spectroscopy of Hα emitters (HAEs) associated with two protoclusters (PKS 1138–262 at z = 2.16 and USS 1558–003 at z = 2.53) with the Multi-Object Infrared Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) on the Subaru telescope.As a result, the cluster membership of 27 and 36 HAEs are newly confirmed in these two protoclusters, respectively. The inferred dynamical masses of the protocluster cores are consistent with being the typical progenitors of present-day most massive clusters (Shimakawa et al.2014a). Also, those HAEs in the protoclusters show much higher [OIII]/Hβ ratios than local star forming galaxies. It is probably caused by the combination of their much higher specific star formation rates, lower gaseous metallicities and redshift evolution of inter-stellar medium. We also find that the mass-metallicity relation in the protocluster galaxies is offset to higher metallicity compared to those of field galaxies at a given stellar mass at M∗<1011M⊙ (Shimakawa et al.2014b). This trend is compatible with the recent work (Kulas et al.2013). The mass-metallicity relation is regulated not only by star formation history hence metal production history, but also by inflow and outflow processes that are known to be very active at z > 2 (Steide et al.2010). It suggests that the higher gaseous metallicities of protocluster galaxies may be caused by those gas transfer processes that are dependent on surrounding environments.

Nearby spiral galaxies offer vital clues to some of the most fundamental questions about galaxy formation and evolution: What is the star formation history of the universe, past and future? When did disks form, during the final stages of a single primeval collapse, or as a continuous or episodic process? What is the evolutionary nature of the Hubble sequence, and what are the physical mechanisms that dictate the present-day Hubble type of a galaxy? Was Hubble type imprinted at birth, or can it be deterined or at least modified by infall, mergers, or secular dynamical evolution within the galaxy? These issues are not specific to spirals, of course, and much of this conference will address just these questions in a broader context. However present-day spirals offer unique advantages for studying these problems; they exhibit a broad range of dynamical and evolutionary properties, and the dynamical fragility of disks makes them excellent seismometers of galaxy interaction and merger rates at recent epochs.

AbstractCold molecular and atomic gas plays a central role in our understanding of early galaxy formation and evolution. It represents the component of the interstellar medium (ISM) that stars form out of, and its mass, distribution, excitation, and dynamics provide crucial insight into the physical processes that support the ongoing star formation and stellar mass buildup. We here present results that demonstrate the capability of the Atacama Large (sub-)Millimeter Array (ALMA) to detect the cold ISM and dust in “normal” galaxies at redshifts z=5–6. We also show detailed studies of the ISM in massive, dust-obscured starburst galaxies out to z>6 with ALMA, the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA), the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA). These observations place some of the most direct constraints on the dust-obscured fraction of the star formation history of the universe at z>5 to date, showing that “typical” galaxies at these epochs have low dust content, but also that highly-enriched, dusty starbursts already exist within the first billion years after the Big Bang.

AbstractDust is a crucial component of galaxies in modifying the observed properties of galaxies. Previous studies have suggested that dust reddening in star-forming galaxies is correlated with star formation rate (SFR), luminosity, gas-phase metallicity (Z), stellar mass (M*) and inclination. In this work we investigate the fundamental relations between dust reddening and physical properties of galaxies, and obtain a well-defined empirical recipe for dust reddening. The empirical formulae can be incorporated into semi-analytical models of galaxy formation and evolution to estimate the dust reddening and facilitate comparison with observations.
