45 1st concusion ONE COMPONENT is not sufficient to fit z=4 SEDs Any eary type popuation does not fit the far-ir/submm Any starburst, even evoved, does not fit the mid-ir LERMA, 27Janvier2013

46 4C41.17: A sum of Two Stear Popuation components Starburst at age 30Myrs + Eiptica at age 700Myrs +AGN (600K) Exceent c2=0.96, huge masses 10 ^11 M0, ow Z Observations Are red points With error bars AGN mode : (dashed green) Pier& Kroik mode One od 0.7 Gyrs One young stear component of 30Myrs LERMA, 27Janvier2013 Rocca-Vomerange et a, 2013, MNRAS

47 TN J (z=3.8) Two stear components: + SO/Eiptica at age 1200Myrs Starburst at age 35Myrs AGN mode Pier & Kroik (dashed green) Od Eiptica At 1.2 Gyr (red ine) Pus A starburst At 35 Myrs (dark bue) Green arrows : Superior imits LERMA, 27Janvier2013 Rocca-Vomerange et a, 2013

48 2d concusion A young popuation, evoved (age 30Myr) issued from the evoution of a very short (1Myr) Starburst In a dense medium 10^22-23 part/cm2 ( x10 NHI ISM) fitting simutaneousy the 2 peaks : the optica (UV rest-frame) from the stear photospheric (no absorbed) emission the far-ir/submm emission derived from absorption The starburst is from a neary primitive (or ow Z) metaicity The goba initia mass is roughy a few 10^11 M0, Better spatia resoution is needed. But this resut is robust: To increase absorption (or optica LERMA, depth) 27Janvier2013 wi increase the farir by decreasing UV em To decrease absorption has the opposite effect

49 3rd concusion An REVEALED eary-type popuation Formed at redshift z=10 is discovered in Spitzer data The SED is quite compatibe with the typica 1mum peak (rest-frame) of eary type gaaxies. A striking confirmation of the K-z od popuation (RV et a, 2004) 10^12 M0 stear masses the red passive sequence of giant stars Metaicity Z is O.OO5, compatibe with eary-type scenarios. Masses are derived from fitting LERMA, the 27Janvier2013 sum to the fux caibrated SED ~ 10 ^11-12 M0

50 4th concusion Because The 2 radio gaaxies are seected for their ow AGN activity, AGN mode is not constraining. The AGN peak domain is not we covered by observations For these two targets: AGN modes are therma (BB 600K), Or mode c of Pier & Kroic, 1992). LERMA, 27Janvier2013

51 AN od popuatio n at z=3.8 + a merging episode undergoing an episode of vigorous star formation These powerfu radio-oad gaaxies are ikey a sub popuation of radio-quiet gaaxies (Kriek et a, 2006, Stockton et a, 2008) LERMA, 27Janvier2013

52 Star formation by Merging or jet_coud interaction Issued from jet-coud interaction (Bickne t eet a, 2000) et a 2000) The formed stear mass Is too huge to form in a so narrow zone The most ikey process is a gas-rich merging of mass ratio ~1 to 1/10, triggering an extremey short starburst in a dense medium The intense star formation rate is >10^4 M0/yr during 1 Myr LERMA, 27Janvier2013 So short time scae woud correspond to the short time

53 Consequences on cosmic SF history (1) The star formation history is dominated by eipticas at eary epochs (z=10 or more). SF History (2) Rapid increase of SF for spiras 0<z<1, comparabe To CFRS resuts (Le Fevre et a, 1998): CFRS is seected on Sa spiras. (3) Dwarfs contribute to SFH at ow z Empty circes are data from CFRS, Deep survey seected on Spira Sa gaaxies These sources are not ULIRGs induced by gaaxies in LERMA, 27Janvier2013 interaction. A are compatbe with deep UV-optica-NIR counts z

54 Concusions Evoutionary synthesis: in the observer s frame: (cosmoogy + active and passive evoution) Loca tempates + distance + k+ e corrections Hubbe Sequence types + Starburst Evoutions Radio gaaxies are the most distant and massive gaaxies Confirmation of massive eary type gaaxy hosts In the K-z diagram ( Rocca-Vomerange et a, 2004) And the fragmentation imit 10^12 M0 LERMA, 27Janvier2013

55 Concusions (foowing) Two star formation time-scaes: Instantaneous ~1-Myr merging reveaed by dust from SN and AGB stars Cumuative ~1 Gyr possibe sum of hierarchica merging, the enveop is a mode. Star formation initiates at zfor> 4-10 or more, zfor < 4 is unikey for the most massive RG Evidences of star formation stear masses with back hoe growth is confirmed LERMA, 27Janvier2013
