SUMMARY:From the blue cloud to the red sequence (and over the green valley)
 : investigating the evolution of galaxies over cosmological timescales
DESCRIPTION:From the blue cloud to the red sequence (and over the green val
 ley): investigating the evolution of galaxies over cosmological timescales
 \nProf. Rafael Guzmán\n\nIn the local universe, galaxies fall into one of
  two populations: a star-forming blue cloud and a red sequence lacking sta
 r formation. At redshift z ~ 1.5, however, the red sequence has yet to dev
 elop. Over the past 9 Gyrs some process has quenched star formation in blu
 e galaxies and caused them to evolve onto the red sequence by fading and/o
 r merging of their stellar populations. While such a transformation may be
  occurring across the full range of masses, the highest rate of evolution 
 occurs in massive starbursts at the luminous end of the blue cloud. These 
 galaxies are the Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs). In this talk I pr
 esent preliminary results of a comprehensive multiwavelength survey of LCB
 Gs from z ~ 0 to z ~ 3 we will be carrying out over the next 5 years using
  several space and ground-based observatories, including the GTC.
