We investigate the infrared (IR) properties of cool, evolved stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), including the red giant branch (RGB) stars and the dust-producing red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars using observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope Legacy program entitled "Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally Stripped, Low Metallicity SMC," or SAGE-SMC. ...

... Using this model, I will show how AGN feedback affects the evolution of massive galaxies, causing them to become less massive, smaller, and redder. In addition, several observed relationships, including cosmic star formation rate density, galaxy luminosity function, and [alpha/Fe]-mass, can only begin to be reproduced when it is included. Finally, I will show how the enrichment history of massive galaxies and the IGM may be influenced by AGN feedback. ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: Globular clusters can probe the formation history of galaxies by providing evidence for the chemical evolution and major episodes of star formation in their host galaxies, by examining their kinematic signatures, as well as their structural parameters. ... The giant elliptical NGC 5128 (Centaurus A), at a mere 4 Mpc away, gives us the only opportunity to study in extensive detail the globular cluster system of a recent merger galaxy. ...
