Journal ArticleDOI

A unified multiwavelength model of galaxy formation

TL;DR: In this article, a new version of the GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation is presented, including a different initial mass function (IMF) in quiescent star formation and in starbursts, feedback from active galactic nuclei supressing gas cooling in massive halos and a new empirical star formation law in galaxy disks based on their molecular gas content.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraining the properties of AGN host galaxies with spectral energy distribution modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the latest version of CIGALE, a fast state-of-the-art galaxy SED-fitting model relying on energy balance, to study the influence of an AGN in a self consistent manner in estimating both the star formation rate and stellar mass in galaxies, as well as to calculate the contribution of the AGN to the power output of the host.
Journal ArticleDOI

How sensitive are predicted galaxy luminosities to the choice of stellar population synthesis model

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and evolution is presented, which exploits a Millennium Simulation-class N-body run performed with the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 7 cosmology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraining the properties of AGN host galaxies with Spectral Energy Distribution modeling

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the latest version of CIGALE, a galaxy SED fitting model relying on energy balance, to study the influence of an AGN in estimating both the SFR and stellar mass in galaxies, as well as the contribution of the AGN to the power output of the host.
Journal ArticleDOI

How well can we really estimate the stellar masses of galaxies from broad-band photometry?

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore how galaxy stellar masses, estimated by fitting broad-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with stellar population models, can be biased as a result of commonly adopted assumptions for the star formation and chemical enrichment histories, recycled fractions and dust attenuation curves of galaxies.
