SUMMARY:A Multiwavelength Study of Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies over
  8 Billion Years\, Astronomy Colloquium\, D.J. Pisano\, NRAO
DESCRIPTION:The star formation rate in the Universe has dropped by an 
 order of magnitude in the past 8 billion years. Why? Luminous Compact 
 Blue Galaxies (LCBGs) may account for this drop. LCBGs were common 8 b
 illion years ago\, representing about 20% of the galaxy population and
  contributing about 40% of the total star formation rate density at th
 at time\, but are a factor of ten rarer by the present day. While we k
 now that LCBGs are rapidly evolving\, we do not know what drives their
  evolution or into what type of galaxy they evolve. I will present res
 ults from our current radio studies of nearby LCBGs as part of a large
 r multiwavelength study of the properties of these galaxies. Our data 
 will constrain the current evolutionary state and future evolutionary 
 path of LCBGs. These data will also serve as a benchmark for future st
 udies of LCBGs at all wavelengths and distances.
