Evolution of the comoving IR energy density up to z=1 (green-filled region) and the respective contributions from low luminosity galaxies (i.e., LIR<1011Lsun, blue-filled area), ``infrared luminous'' sources (i.e., LIR>1011Lsun, orange-filled region) and ULIRGs (i.e., LIR>1012Lsun, red-filled region).

The solid line evolves as (1+z)3.9 and represents the best fit of the total IR luminosity density at 0<z<1. Estimates are translated into an ``IR-equivalent SFR'‘ density given on the right vertical axis, where an absolute additional uncertainty of $\sim$\,0.3\,dex should be added to reflect the dispersion in the conversion between luminosities and SFR.

The Mass-Metallicity relation of 0.4<z<1 galaxies

Page 18: Yanchun Liang   (NAOC, China) 2005-08, Lijiang

30% to 50% of the mass locked in stars in present day galaxies actually condensed into stars at z<1 (Dickinson et al. 2003; Pozzetti et al. 2003; Drory et al. 2004; Bell 2004)

Which kinds of galaxies are mainly responsible for such star formation fraction?

Page 19: Yanchun Liang   (NAOC, China) 2005-08, Lijiang

The near-IR K-band luminosity is more directly related to the stellar mass of galaxies since it is less affected by star formation and by dust (Charlot 1998; Bell & de Jong 2000):

We compare the MK-metallicity (mass-Z) relations of these intermediate-z galaxies with those of local star-forming galaxies.

Summary

Spectroscopy follow-up for a ISO-selected sample galaxies with 0.4<z<1

We study their metallicities on the basic of VLT/ FORS2

spectra, the median oxygen abundance of them is 12+log(O/H)~8.67: ~0.3dex more metal deficient than the local star forming galaxies at the given magnitude or stellar mass

By comparing with the local galaxies (e.g. NFGS, KISS, SDSS) and the high-z (z~2.3) galaxies, we can get a basic understanding on the assembly of the metals of galaxies: ~ 50% of metals of these intermediate-z galaxies was formed since z ~ 1
