Title:
Exploring the cosmic history of galaxies
Date: Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
Time: 12:00
Venue: Villa Bazzoni

Abstract:
I will present the latest results obtained by
the new UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey (UDS). I will focus on the
cosmological evolution of K-band selected galaxies, with particular
emphasis devoted to the most massive sources and to the differential
evolution of the populations of passive and star-forming
galaxies. Furthermore, by exploiting the large area of the UDS field
we investigate the properties of UV-selected galaxies at z~6,
comparing the results with the latest predictions of the models of
galaxy formation. Finally, I will briefly discuss our latest results
on the evolution of dust-enshrouded massive galaxies obtained with the
SHADES survey.
