Journal ArticleDOI
The star-formation history of the Universe from the stellar populations of nearby galaxies
TL;DR: An analysis of the ‘fossil record’ of the current stellar populations of 96,545 nearby galaxies, from which a complete star-formation history is obtained, which broadly support those derived from high-redshift galaxies and shows that the peak of star formation was more recent.
Journal ArticleDOI
The star formation histories of galaxies in the sloan digital sky survey
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a MOPED analysis of ∼3 × 10 5 galaxy spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 3 (SDSS DR3), with a number of improvements in data, modelling and analysis compared with their previous analysis of DR1.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cosmic evolution of metallicity from the SDSS fossil record
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors infer the time evolution of the stellar metallicity for Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies by interpreting their spectra through stellar population models using a sample that spans 5 orders of magnitude in stellar mass (10 7 -10 12 M ⊙ ).
Journal ArticleDOI
Star formation and metallicity history of the SDSS galaxy survey: unlocking the fossil record
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used MOPED to estimate the star-formation and metallicity history of over 37,000 high quality galaxy spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) early data release.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mass function of the stellar component of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the MOPED algorithm to determine the stellar mass function of 96 545 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release One, using the reconstructed spectrum due to starlight to eliminate contamination from either emission lines or active galactic nuclei components.
