We analyze the rest-frame UV-to-near-IR spectral energy distribution
(SED) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs), star-forming (SF) BzK (sBzK), and
UV-selected galaxies at 1.5 < z < 2.5 in the COSMOS, GOODS-North,
and GOODS-South fields. Additionally, we complement the multi-wavelength
coverage of the galaxies located in GOODS-North and GOODS-South fields
with deep FIR data taken within the framework of the GOODS-Herschel
project. According to their best-fitted SED-derived properties we find
that, due to their selection criterion involving UV measurements, LBGs
tend to be UV-brighter,…
We take advantage of the exceptional photometric coverage provided by
the combination of GALEX data in the ultraviolet (UV) and the ALHAMBRA
survey in the optical and near-infrared to analyse the physical
properties of a sample of 1225 GALEX-selected Lyman break galaxies
(LBGs) at 0.8 ≲ z ≲ 1.2 that are located in the COSMOS field.
This is the largest sample of LBGs studied in this redshift range to
date. According to a spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting with
synthetic stellar population templates, we find that LBGs at z ˜ 1
are mostly young galaxies with a median age of 341 Myr and…
