Abstract:

This project utilizes data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Survey to study the evolution of star-forming galaxies with a statistical sample across cosmic time. By systematically characterizing the physical properties of these galaxies, we aim to explore the relationship between these properties, the star formation rate and stellar mass of the population. Using the line flux of nebular emission lines produced by singly ionized oxygen [OII] 3726/3729, we calculate electron densities to measure the pressure of the interstellar medium in a redshift range of (0.6
