Colour composite image, revealing the lobes and jets originates from the active galaxy’s central black hole. This image was obtained with three instruments: 

  • submm (870micron) LABOCA/APEXPEX (Chile)
  • X ray data from Chandra X-ray Observatory
  • optical observations (2.2-m WFI, MPG/ESO, Chile)  show the background stars and the galaxy’s characteristic dust lane in close to "true colour".

Spectral Energy Distribution

  • Galaxies emit electromagnetic radiation over the full possible frequency/ wavelength range,
  • analysis of this radiation is the main means through which astronomers study galaxies and thus learn about their formation and evolution,
  • the distribution of energy over wavelength/frequency is called the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED).

The ULIRG is observed at redshift z=0.66 and is represented here in the rest-frame (from Galliano 2004).

K. Malek, M. Hamed "CIGALE workshop", Cosmology School, Kraków, 2022

The SED of galaxy is shaped by nearly every physical property of the galaxy, and among others:

 

  • the initial mass function (IMF),
  • the star formation history (SFH),
  • stellar populations (SSP),
  • the metal content (Z),
  • chemical compositions and their evolution,
  • dust characteristics (amount, attenuation law, etc.),
  • the grain size distribution,
  • the star-dust geometry,
  • the interstellar radiation field,
  • etc.

 

K. Malek, M. Hamed "CIGALE workshop", Cosmology School, Kraków, 2022

Some of the fundamental properties of galaxies (SFH, IMF, metallicity, stellar mass..) are easier to measure than others, and each provides important clues regarding the formation and evolution of galaxies. 

 

These quantities, measured from the SEDs of galaxies, have provided the foundation for our modern understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.

a key component of the interstellar medium (ISM)

  • dust particles are formed as a product of stellar evolution, 
  • they are formed in the environment of evolved stars and  then they are ejected into the interstellar medium,
  • their sizes range from a few nm to a few μm,
  • the main building block is carbon, including graphite + silicate,
  • its presence in galaxies is "noticeable" as
    • emission in the IR wavelenghts,
    • modification of the stellar continuum (UV - NIR)

Part Two
CIGALE

The basics of the spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting methods is to reconstruct the stellar (and dust) emission of a galaxy with population synthesis models and SFH of varying complexity with free parameters based on the multi-λ broadband including dust attenuation.


SED fitting a method commonly used to derive physical parameters useful to quantify galaxy evolution, the most popular ones being the SFR and the Mstar.

For each galaxy the best value for each parameter as well as the best fitted model is found using the Bayesian-like statistical analysis (χ 2 ); In the next step, the physical values are calculated based on the probability distribution function (PDF) of the derived parameters of interest
