Overview of the L A M

1
Overview of the L A M

• Main research axes
• Formation and evolution of galaxies, Cosmology
• Interstellar medium
• Extra-solar planets
• Instrumental developments optics UV, visible,
  FIR, Ground based and spatial instrumentation
• HST, ISO, GALEX, VIMOS, COROT, Herschel, TPF,
  SNAP, JWST, ELT

Research activities at LAM in relation with MAGPOP

• Galaxy Evolution, Observational Cosmology
• 20 permanent researchers
• PhD students post-docs
• Involved in MAGPOP V.Buat, L. Tresse, S.
  Arnouts, A. Boselli, D Burgarella , J. Iglesias
  (LAM associate researcher) M. Treyer
• Research topics (overview)
• Physical properties of galaxies spectral energy
  distributions, star formation, dust attenuation,
  environmental effects etc
• Statistical studies number counts, photo-z,
  morphology, luminosity functions, luminosity
  densities, correlation functions etc
