Evidence of different star formation histories for high- and low-luminosity radio galaxies

We present the results of our investigation into the stellar populations of 24 radio galaxies at z~0.5 drawn from four complete, low-frequency selected radio surveys. We use the strength of the 4000A break as an indicator of recent star formation, and compare this with radio luminosity, optical spec...
