First Spectroscopic Observations of Low-Mass Companions to X-Ray Selected Main Sequence Late B-type Dwarfs with NIRSPEC at Keck II
Recently, using near infrared photometric observations with ADONIS+ SHARP II, we have detected 21 new IR objects around 49 X-ray selected late B-type... -
Baryon Spectroscopy in Lattice QCD
We review recent developments in the study of excited baryon spectroscopy in lattice QCD. After introducing the basic methods used to extract masses... -
Hadron Properties with FLIC Fermions
The Fat-Link Irrelevant Clover (FLIC) fermion action provides a new form of nonperturbative O(a)-improvement in lattice fermion actions offering near... -
Magnetic Confinement
This chapter describes the basic principles of magnetic confinement. The main representatives of magnetic confinement are the mirror machine, the... -
The Spatial Clustering of X-ray Selected AGN in the Chandra Msec Fields
I present here the first estimates of the spatial correlation function of X-ray selected AGN in the 2Msec Chandra Deep Field North (CDFN) and 1Msec... -
Sgr A West: A Parsec Scale Reservoirfor Accretion onto Sgr A*?
Sgr A*, the super-massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, is surrounded by the H ii region Sgr A West, which appears in projection like a... -
Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei
Little is currently known about the demographics of black holes in the intermediate-mass range 103–106 M⊙, but a small fraction of dwarf galaxies and... -
Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies: Growing Black Holes at Supercritical Accretion?
The X-ray spectra of NLS1, characterized by a significant soft excess and a steep hard tail analogous to the soft-state black-hole binaries, are... -
Formation of the First Supermassive Black Holes
Understanding the emergence of the first supermassive black holes, and hence the first quasars, is a crucial ingredient for models of reionization... -
The Role of Gas in the Merging of Massive Black Holes in Galactic Nuclei
Using high-resolution SPH numerical simulations, we investigate the effects of gas on the inspiral and merger of a massive black hole binary. This... -
The CDF-S Viewed with SIMBA
Observations of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) with the bolometer array SIMBA on the SEST 15m telescope is presented. SIMBA operates at 1250 μm... -
The TESIS Project: Are Type 2 QSO Hidden in X-Ray Emitting EROs?
X-ray selected EROs are, on average, the hardest X-ray sources in medium and deep X-ray fields. This coupled with their extremely red colors... -
Local Redshift Surveys and Galaxy Evolution
We present observations of galaxy environmental dependencies using data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. From a combined analysis of the... -
Mid-Ultraviolet Spectral Diagnostics of Galaxy Evolution
We describe how optical spectra of z=1–2 galaxies can help test the hypothesis of hierarchical galaxy formation. -
The First 1–2 Gyrs of Galaxy Formation: Dropout Galaxies from z~ 3–6
The unique high–resolution wide–field imaging capabilities of HST with ACS have allowed the characterization of galaxies at redshift 6, less than 1... -
The Epochs of Early-Type Galaxy Formation in Clusters and in the Field
Using our models of absorption line indices that account for variable abundance ratios, we derive ages, total metallicities, and element abundance... -
COSMOS 2 $\square^\circ$ Survey
The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) will provide complete multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopy of a 2... -
On the Dearth of Low-Luminosity, High-Redshift Quasars
The GOODS Team [2] presented a sample of 17 high-redshift QSO candidates from the GOODS fields with 3.5 < z < 5.2. The number counts of their z > 4... -
Beyond the Lick Indices: The High-Resolution Spectral Synthesis of Stellar Populations
Up-to-date theoretical SED of stellar populations at 2 Å FWHM resolution is obtained by coupling a new library of synthetic spectra from the ATLAS... -
Quasar Host Galaxies of GEMS, First Results: 0.5 < z < 2.75
Understanding the host galaxies (HGs) of quasars is the key to linking the evolution of galaxies and their central black holes. Within the gems...
