Corrected empirical limits show the most massive galaxies never exceed the theoretical baryonic maximum of 0.16 times halo virial mass, keeping observations consistent with LambdaCDM at all redshifts.

Large sample of SN Ia hosts shows young mean progenitor age of 3.5 Gyr and only 1.5 Gyr evolution, leading to negligible cosmological bias of 0.007 mag.
Dust attenuation follows a universal mass-dependent relation from z=0 to 7 with a transition at 10^9 solar masses where nebular attenuation steepens relative to stellar.
MaNGA data shows dwarf galaxies (log M* <= 9.5) remain mostly star-forming with weak environmental dependence while intermediate-mass galaxies (9.5 < log M* < 10) display stronger quenching trends, and dwarf early-types host younger stellar populations than their intermediate-mass counterparts.
Close major galaxy pairs exhibit 8.8% lower HI gas fractions and 15% higher HI star formation efficiency in S+S systems than mass- and redshift-matched isolated controls.
A z=4.0148 galaxy shows clumpy ring morphology consistent with either a collisional ring or strong lensing by a foreground galaxy at z~1.7.
Weak-lensing analysis of Abell 85 resolves three substructures and finds a ~2:1 mass ratio between the main cluster and southern subcluster, indicating a major ongoing merger.
NIRCam-selected AGN hosts split into a 'bridge' group with moderate-to-low SFRs and a 'branch' group above the SFMS with SFR rising with AGN fraction; both populations show recent transitions between star formation and quiescence.
Panchromatic SED modeling yields SFRs with smaller offset and scatter than optical-only fits for starburst to post-starburst galaxies, while Prospector AGN torus models distinguish AGN but underpredict luminosities by an order of magnitude.
The thesis assesses the reliability of stellar population synthesis modeling for galaxy physical properties using limited multi-band photometry rather than full spectra.
