Hierarchical models of high redshift galaxies with thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch stars: comparison with observations

In a recent paper we presented the first semi-analytic model of galaxy formation in which the Thermally-Pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch phase of stellar evolution has been fully implemented. Here we address the comparison with observations, and show how the TP-AGB recipe affects the performance of t...
