The study of the spectroscopic, photometric and morphological properties of early-type galaxies, especially at high redshift and over a range of environmental densities, allows to put constraints on galaxy formation and evolution models. In particular, the presence of old passive stellar populations up to z~1.5 pushes further back the epoch of the last significant star formation episode in massive early-type galaxies. This book presents a study of the star formation history in these high redshift early-type galaxies, in both cluster and field environments, and the novel method used to reconstruct it.…mehr

Autorenporträt
Born in 1980 in Lausanne (Switzerland). After studies in physicsat the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne and a diploma at theObservatory of Geneva (2004), he carried out a PhD thesis at the European SouthernObservatory and obtained his degree at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität of Munich(February 2009).
