Characterizing distant galaxies: Spectral energy distribution analysis of X-ray selected star forming galaxies

Comprehensive and robust analysis of galaxies found throughout cosmic time provides the means to probe the underlying characteristics of our Universe. Coupling observations and theory, spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting provides a method to derive the intrinsic properties of distant galaxies...
