The Stellar Mass Assembly of Galaxies from z = 0 to z = 4: Analysis of a Sample Selected in the Rest-Frame Near-Infrared with Spitzer

TL;DR: In this paper, the evolution of the stellar mass content of the universe at 0 10^12.5 2.5 μm with Spitzer observations of the Hubble Deep Field North, the Chandra Deep Field South, and the Lockman Hole (surveyed area ~664 arcmin^2) was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Current Star Formation Rate of the Local Universe

TL;DR: In this article, a Schechter function was used to estimate the Hα luminosity function for the star-forming galaxies in the surveyed volume of the universe, which is the first observational determination of this quantity, which will provide a direct test of current galaxy formation and evolution models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specific star formation rate profiles in nearby spiral galaxies: quantifying the inside-out formation of disks

TL;DR: In this article, specific star formation rate (sSFR) radial profiles for a sample of 161 relatively face-on spiral galaxies from the GALEX Atlas of Nearby Galaxies were derived from 2MASS (FUV - K) color profiles after a proper SFR calibration of the UV luminosity and K-band mass-to-light ratio are adopted.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Resolution Imagery of Earth at Night: New Sources, Opportunities and Challenges

TL;DR: Data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day-Night Band (VIIRS DNB) is shown to have sufficient resolution to identify major sources of waste light, such as airports, and considerable variation in the peak radiance of the world's largest airports is found.
