cds-question@unistra.frgalaxiesphotometryredshiftedchemical-abundancesStudies of distant galaxies have shown that ellipticals and large spirals (Schade et al., 1999ApJ...525...31S; Lilly et al., 1998ApJ...500...75L) were already in place 8Gyr ago, leading to a very modest recent star formation (Brinchmann & Ellis, 2000ApJ...536L..77B) in intermediate mass galaxies (3-30*10^10^M_{sun}_). This is challenged by a recent analysis (Heavens et al., 2004Natur.428..625H) of the fossil record of the stellar populations of ~105 nearby galaxies, which shows that intermediate mass galaxies formed or assembled the bulk of their stars 4 to 8Gyr ago. Here we present direct observational evidence supporting this findings from a long term, multi-wavelength study of 195 z>0.4 intermediate mass galaxies, mostly selected from the Canada France Redshift Survey (CFRS, Cat. <VII/225>).2005A&A...430..115Hhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/430/115CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toVII/225 : The Canada-France Redshift Survey (CFRS) (Lilly+, 1995)J/ApJ/517/148 : ISO observations of the CFRS field (Flores+, 1999)J/A+A/423/867 : Abundances of distant luminous infrared galaxies (Liang+, 2004)https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/430/115https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/430/115http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/A+A/430/115https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/430/115https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/430/115http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/A+A/430/115GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/A+A/430/115/table1 (Sample of distant galaxies)https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/430/115/table1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/430/115/table1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/A+A/430/115/table1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true0.6205-0.69527780.0055555555555555566/11424 17405 17407 19036 23210 33635https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/A+A/430/115?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/A+A/430/115/table1Sample of distant galaxiesrecnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
