Research activities at LAM in relation with

MAGPOPGalaxy 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…
