Integral Field Spectroscopy at High Spectral Resolution with an Imaging FTS
The properties of an Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (IFTS) are reminded to show its unique capability of high spectral resolution on a wide... -
X-rays from the First Massive Black Holes
We briefly review some recent results from Chandra and XMM-Newton studies of the highest redshift ( ) active galactic... -
A Search for the First Massive Galaxy Clusters
We have obtained deep, multi-band imaging observations around three of the most distant known quasars at redshifts z>6. Standard accretion theory... -
Accretion onto a Dupermassive Black Hole in Sgr A*
We propose a model of accretion onto a black hole at the center of our Galaxy. This model describes a situation in which Sgr A* is accreting a hot... -
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies and the “Anti-hierarchical” Black Hole Growth
Using a complete sample of soft X-ray selected AGNs, we show that highly accreting AGNs do not follow the MBH–σ relation of normal galaxies. This... -
Torus Models for Obscuration in Type 2 AGN
We discuss a clumpy model of obscuring dusty tori around AGN. Cloud-cloud collisions lead to an effective viscosity and a geometrically thick... -
Gravitational Waves from Massive Black Holes Binaries
We compute the expected gravitational wave (GW) signal from coalescing massive black hole (MBH) binaries in a hierarchical structure formation... -
Black Hole Growth in a Cosmological Context and the Associated Cosmic Star Formation History
Based on a co-evolution scenario of massive black holes (MBH) and their host spheroids, we trace the BH growth and the joint cosmic star formation... -
Planet Formation
Motivating the study of planet formation is not difficult for any curious audience. One of the fundamental human questions is that of origins: “where... -
The RASS-SDSS Galaxy Cluster Survey
Solid observational evidences indicate a strong dependence of the galaxy formation and evolution on the environment. In order to study in particular... -
SED Diagnostics of Submillimetre Galaxies
We apply an evolutionary SED model of starbursts to submm galaxies, in order to predict the present-day colour, magnitude, and size of submm... -
High Redshift Lyman Break Galaxies
Two of the most outstanding issues in modern astrophysics are what reionized the Universe and how did the first objects form. Observations of... -
Extremely Red Galaxies: Dust Attenuation and Classification
The “extremely red galaxies” (ERGs) constitute a controversial population in deep near-IR surveys. Their extremely-red observed colours (I... -
The Deepest Near-Infrared View of the Universe
We present very deep near-infrared imaging in the J s , H and K s -bands of the HDF-S and... -
A Spectroscopic Survey of the Submillimeter Galaxy Population: 85 Redshifts Using Keck/LRIS-B
We present spectroscopic identifications for a sample of 85 millimeter and submillimeter galaxies detected with the SCUBA/JCMT and MAMBO/IRAM30m... -
Galaxy Evolution in Three Dimensions: Time, Space and Mass
There are three major axes to describe the evolution of galaxies, namely, time (redshift), space (environment) and mass (stellar mass). In this... -
Chemo-Photometric Models of Ring Galaxies
The peculiar ring galaxies are formed as a result of cosmic interaction. An intruder galaxy plunges through the center of a disk galaxy triggering... -
Deep Submillimetre Imaging of Distant AGN: Visualising the Formation of Cluster Ellipticals
We Rob Ivison, Jason Stevens, James Dunlop, Ian Smail, Wil Percival, David Hughes, Huub Röttgering, Wil van Breugel and Michel... -
The Rest-Frame Optical Properties of Star-Forming Galaxies at z~2
We present preliminary results from Hα spectroscopy and deep K-band imaging of UV-selected star-forming galaxies at z~2. We see evidence for... -
Tracing the Evolution of Massive Galaxies up to z ~ 3
Objects with unusual red near-IR color J-K > 3 are extremely rare at magnitude brighter than K=20, while their surface density increases at fainter...
