요약Galaxies form and evolve on timescales much longer than astronomers' careers. Nevertheless, by observing many galaxies at various epochs of cosmic time and developing physical models of the universe, we can converge on a more complete picture of the grand history of these majestic conglomerations of stars, gas, dust, black holes, and dark matter. Once galaxies and their distances from Earth have been identified, we use their integrated light signatures-their spectral energy distributions (SEDs)-to analyze their contents. Developing more accurate yet faster approaches to determine the physical properties of galaxies based on their SEDs is crucial as we dive into the era of big astronomical data with more extensive and sensitive observations of the cosmos than ever before.One of the most important ways to identify star-forming galaxies is by measuring the strengths of emission lines arising from ionized gas near massive stars. From a pool of over 9,000 candidates, I and an undergrad mentee created a sample of 4,350 emission-line galaxies (ELGs) at redshifts 1.16 z 1.90 from the 3D-HST survey. Using broadband UV-IR photometry and emission line strengths, I performed SED fitting on the entire sample, thus measuring properties like stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and dust attenuation. From my analyses, I learned that the sample is consistent with the mass-metallicity relation at z ∼ 2 and that there is a strong positive correlation between stellar mass and absolute magnitude in a rest-frame optical filter.For sources with MIR/FIR photometry, I fitted the dust emission spectrum in conjunction with the UV-NIR SED. I found that the decision to assume energy balance between dust attenuation and emission should be made very carefully, as the observation of the balance is not straightforward. More densely sampled photometry with less confusion noise is required to make stronger conclusions.I measured and fitted Schechter functions to the Hα and [O III] λ5007 luminosity function for the galaxies in my 3D-HST sample. This data set is several times bigger than previous galaxy samples in my redshift range, allowing for more trustworthy calculations. I found that there are more mid-luminosity [O III] emitters than previously thought, which is encouraging for future ELG-finding missions. I also developed a new calibration for SFR vs Hα +[N II] λ6584 flux, uncorrected for dust. I learned that Hα-visible galaxies account for ∼ 81% of the star formation at z ∼ 1.4.One of the biggest hurdles in SED fitting is the degeneracy between dust, metallicity, and age: all three properties play similar roles in shaping the SED. When we analyze populations of galaxies based on SED fitting results, properly taking this degeneracy (and others) into account through hierarchical modeling will lead to more accurate inferences. I created the first such model of dust attenuation as a function of stellar mass, SFR, metallicity, redshift, and axis ratio (a proxy to inclination) based on the SED fits of nearly 30,000 0.5 z 3.0 3D-HST galaxies in a mass-complete sample. I tested the model on TNG100 z = 1 simulated galaxies and found that the resulting UVJ colors better resemble real observations than using an analytic prescription for dust attenuation.The future is bright for extragalactic astronomy with missions like the James Webb Space Telescope, the Roman Space Telescope, the Vera Rubin Observatory, and many others that will help identify millions or billions of galaxies with better resolution and sensitivity than before. This dissertation helps prepare the stage for these surveys by highlighting properties of ELGs, predicting how many of them we can expect to find, deriving simple correlations to estimate stellar mass and SFR, and developing more sophisticated statistical approaches for better accuracy.
