نویسنده
چکیده
We present the results of a Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based optical and near-infrared study to identify progenitors of spirals and ellipticals at z > 1. We identify these systems through photometric and spectroscopic redshifts, deep Kband imaging, stellar mass measurements, and high resolution imaging. The major modes of galaxy formation, including major mergers, minor mergers, and accretion of intergalactic gas, and their relative contributions towards building up the stellar masses of galaxies, can now be directly measured using these data.

We present high angular resolution (∼ 1 and 0.6) mm-interferometric observations of the CO(1− 0) and CO(2− 1) line emission in the central 300 pc of the late-type spiral galaxy NGC6946. The data, obtained with the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI), allow the first detection of a molecular gas spiral in the inner ∼ 10 (270 pc) with a large concentration of molecular Based on observation...

We produce a detailed map of the perturbed surface density of neutral hydrogen in the outer Milky Way disk demonstrating that the Galaxy is a nonaxisymmetric multi-armed spiral. Spiral structure in the southern half of the Galaxy can be traced out to at least 25 kpc, implying a minimum radius for the gas disk. Overdensities in the surface density are coincident with regions of reduced gas thick...

We present first results on the use of a colour space filter for detecting galaxy clusters at cosmological redshifts in the XMM Large Scale Structure Survey. All clusters studied, but one, are successfully colour–detected in spite of their large redshift (0.3 < z < 1.0), X–ray selection and intrinsic low richness (R = 0 or below). We experimentally show that the cluster redshift can be derived,...

Arcsec-resolution VLA observations – newly obtained as well as published – of 40 nearby galaxies are discussed, completing a study of the radio properties of a magnitude-limited sample of nearby galaxies of the composite LINER/H ii type. Our results reveal an overall detection rate of at least 25% AGN candidates among these composite sources. The general properties of these AGN candidates, as c...
