Through which phenomena did<br \/>\nthe tiny proto-galaxies that we can barely distinguish in the farthest<br \/>\nreaches of the universe transform into the incredibly rich and<br \/>\nradically different galaxies that populate the Hubble sequence at low<br \/>\nredshift? In spite of considerable progress over the past few decades,<br \/>\nunderstanding the formation and evolution of galaxies remains a<br \/>\nconsiderable challenge. One of the key issues is our relative<br \/>\nincapacity to reliably characterize galaxies. If we find ourselves<br \/>\nunable to measure with certainty the fundamental physical properties of<br \/>\ngalaxies such as they star formation rate or their stellar mass, how<br \/>\ncan we ever hope to paint the picture of galaxy formation and evolution<br \/>\nbeyond broad strokes?<\/p>\n<p>To address this issue and fully exploit the potential of current and<br \/>\nnext-generation instruments, the modeling of the spectral energy<br \/>\ndistribution of galaxies is one of the major tools at our disposal.<br \/>\nDuring these classes, I will present the major principles underlying<br \/>\nthese tools, how they can be used to construct detailed models of the<br \/>\nmulti-wavelength emission of galaxies, how the physical properties can<br \/>\nbe estimated, and present their typical strengths and weaknesses. In a<br \/>\nsecond time, with the active participation of the students, I will<br \/>\nprovide a live demonstration of how to use one such code, CIGALE, to<br \/>\nmodel galaxies and measure their physical properties.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>All PhD students in Astrophysics are encouraged to attend to the lectures and participate on the activities during the week in UDP.
