Commission 28: Galaxies

The Great Commission and the New Testament : An Exegesis of Matthew 28 : 16 - 20 Hal Freeman

Introduction The seal of the Baptist university where I teach has the Greek text of a portion of Matthew 28:19, which translates into English as, “Make disciples of all nations.” The founders of the school, like many of our spiritual ancestors, wanted to emphasize that this commission is essential to the Christian faith. The importance many believers attach to this passage is consistent with th...

AGN Zoo and Classications of Active Galaxies

We review the variety of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) classes (so-calledAGN zoo") and classification schemes of galaxies by activity types based on their optical emission-line spectrum, as well as other parameters and other than optical wave-length ranges. A historical overview of discoveries of various types of active galaxies is given, including Seyfert galaxies, radio galaxies, QSOs, BL Lace...

LoCuSS : luminous infrared galaxies in the merging cluster Abell 1758 at z = 0 . 28

We present the first galaxy evolution results from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS), a multiwavelength survey of 100 X-ray selected galaxy clusters at 0.15 ≤ z ≤ 0.3. LoCuSS combines far-ultraviolet (UV) through far-infrared (IR) observations of cluster galaxies with gravitational lensing analysis and X-ray data to investigate the interplay between the hierarchical assembly of clu...
