We built a 8um selected sample of galaxies in the NEP-AKARI field by defining 4 redshift bins with the four AKARI bands at 11, 15, 18 and 24 microns (0.15<z<0.49, 0.75<z<1.34, 1.34<z<1.7 and 1.7<z<2.05) . Our sample contains 4079 sources, 599 are securely detected with Herschel/PACS. Also adding ultraviolet (UV) data from GALEX, we fit the spectral energy distributions using the physically motivated code CIGALE to extract the star formation rate, stellar mass, dust attenuation and the AGN contribution to the total infrared luminosity (L_{IR}). We discuss the impact of the adopted attenuation curve and that of the wavelength coverage to estimate these physical parameters. We focus on galaxies with a luminosity close the characteristic L_{IR}^* in the different redshift bins to study the evolution with redshift of the dust attenuation in these galaxies.

We present a method of selection of 24~$mu$m galaxies from the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Deep Field down to $150 mbox{ }mu$Jy and measurements of their two-point correlation function. We aim to associate various 24 $mu$m selected galaxy populat
ions with present day galaxies and to investigate the impact of their environment on the direction of their subsequent evolution. We discuss using of Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm applied to infrared photometric data to perform star-galaxy separation, in which we achieve an accuracy higher than 80%. The photometric redshift information, obtained through the CIGALE code, is used to explore the redshift dependence of the correlation function parameter ($r_{0}$) as well as the linear bias evolution. This parameter relates galaxy distribution to the one of the underlying dark matter. We connect the investigated sources to their potential local descendants through a simplified model of the clustering evolution without interactions. We observe two different populations of star-forming galaxies, at $z_{med}sim 0.25$, $z_{med}sim 0.9$. Measurements of total infrared luminosities ($L_{TIR}$) show that the sample at $z_{med}sim 0.25$ is composed mostly of local star-forming galaxies, while the sample at $z_{med}sim0.9$ is composed of luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) with $L_{TIR}sim 10^{11.62}L_{odot}$. We find that dark halo mass is not necessarily correlated with the $L_{TIR}$: for subsamples with $L_{TIR}= 10^{11.15} L_{odot}$ at $z_{med}sim 0.7$ we observe a higher clustering length ($r_{0}=6.21pm0.78$ $[h^{-1} mbox{Mpc}]$) than for a subsample with mean $L_{TIR}=10^{11.84} L_{odot}$ at $z_{med}sim1.1$ ($r_{0}=5.86pm0.69$ $h^{-1} mbox{Mpc}$). We find that galaxies at $z_{med}sim 0.9$ can be ancestors of present day $L_{*}$ early type galaxies, which exhibit a very high $r_{0}sim 8$~$h^{-1} mbox{Mpc}$.
Galaxies rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) properties are often used to directly infer the degree to which dust obscuration affects the measurement of star formation rates. While much recent work has focused on calibrating dust attenuation in galaxies sele
cted at rest-frame ultraviolet wavelengths, locally and at high-$z$, here we investigate attenuation in dusty, star-forming galaxies (DSFGs) selected at far-infrared wavelengths. By combining multiwavelength coverage across 0.15--500,$mu$m in the COSMOS field, in particular making use of {it Herschel} imaging, and a rich dataset on local galaxies, we find a empirical variation in the relationship between rest-frame UV slope ($beta$) and ratio of infrared-to-ultraviolet emission ($L_{rm IR}/L_{rm UV}equiv,IRX$) as a function of infrared luminosity, or total star formation rate, SFR. Both locally and at high-$z$, galaxies above SFR$gt$50,M$_odot$,yr$^{-1}$ deviate from the nominal $IRX-beta$ relation towards bluer colors by a factor proportional to their increasing IR luminosity. We also estimate contamination rates of DSFGs on high-$z$ dropout searches of $ll1$% at $zlt4-10$, providing independent verification that contamination from very dusty foreground galaxies is low in LBG searches. Overall, our results are consistent with the physical interpretation that DSFGs, e.g. galaxies with $>50$,M$_odot$,yr$^{-1}$, are dominated at all epochs by short-lived, extreme burst events, producing many young O and B stars that are primarily, yet not entirely, enshrouded in thick dust cocoons. The blue rest-frame UV slopes of DSFGs are inconsistent with the suggestion that most DSFGs at $zsim2$ exhibit steady-state star formation in secular disks.
We study dust attenuation at UV wavelengths at high redshift, where the UV is redshifted to the observed visible. In particular, we search for a UV bump and related implications for dust attenuation determinations. We use data in the CDFS, obtained i
n intermediate and broad band filters by the MUSYC project, to sample the UV rest-frame of 751 galaxies with 0.95<z<2.2. When available, Herschel/PACS data (GOODS-Herschel project), and Spitzer/MIPS measurements, are used to estimate the dust emission. The SED of each source is fit using the CIGALE code. The amount of dust attenuation and the dust attenuation curve are obtained as outputs of the SED fitting process, together with other parameters linked to the SFH. The global amount of dust attenuation at UV wavelengths is found to increase with stellar mass and to decrease as UV luminosity increases. A UV bump at 2175A is securely detected in 20% of the galaxies, and the mean amplitude of the bump for the sample is similar to that observed in the LMC supershell region. This amplitude is found to be lower in galaxies with very high SSFRs, and 90% of the galaxies exhibiting a secure bump are at z<1.5. The attenuation curve is confirmed to be steeper than that of local starburst galaxies for 20$% of the galaxies. The large dispersion found for these two parameters describing the attenuation law is likely to reflect a wide diversity of attenuation laws among galaxies. The relations between dust attenuation, IR-to-UV flux ratio, and the slope of the UV continuum are derived for the mean attenuation curve found for our sample. Deviations from the average trends are found to correlate with the age of the young stellar population and the shape of the attenuation curve.(abriged)
Radio-loud active galaxies have been found to exhibit a close connection to galactic mergers and host galaxy star-formation quenching. We present preliminary results of an optical spectroscopic investigation of the AKARI NEP field. We focus on the po
pulation of radio-loud AGN and use photometric and spectroscopic information to study both their star-formation and nuclear activity components. Preliminary results show that radio-AGN are associated with early type, massive galaxies with relatively old stellar populations.
We use Pa$beta$ (1282~nm) observations from the Hubble Space Telescope ($textit{HST}$) G141 grism to study the star formation and dust attenuation properties of a sample of 32 low redshift ($z < 0.287$) galaxies in the CLEAR survey. Many of the galax
ies in the sample have significantly higher Pa$beta$ emission than expected from the star formation rates (SFRs) measured from their (attenuation-corrected) UV continuum or H$alpha$ emission, suggesting that Pa$beta$ is revealing star formation that is otherwise hidden within gas that is optically thick to UV-continuum and Balmer line emission. Galaxies with lower stellar mass tend to have more scatter in their ratio of Pa$beta$ to attenuation-corrected UV SFRs. When considering our Pa$beta$ detection limits, this observation is consistent with burstier star formation histories in lower mass galaxies. We also find a large amount of scatter between the nebular dust attenuation measured by Pa$beta$/H$alpha$ and H$alpha$/H$beta$, implying that the Balmer decrement underestimates the attenuation in galaxies across a broad range of stellar mass, morphology, and observed Balmer decrement. Comparing the nebular attenuation from Pa$beta$/H$alpha$ with the stellar attenuation inferred from the spectral energy distribution, our galaxies are consistent with an average stellar to nebular ratio of 0.44, but with a large amount of excess scatter beyond the observational uncertainties. Together, these results show that Pa$beta$ is a valuable tracer of a galaxys star formation rate, often revealing star formation that is otherwise missed by UV and optical tracers.
