The great energy source of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) may be the accreting supermassive black holes of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) or intense...
Where feedback fails: clues from the dynamics of massive galaxies?
It is widely understood that galaxies use, throughout the Hubble time, only a small fraction of the baryons associated to their dark matter halos to form stars...
Which galaxies host bars and disks? A study of the Coma Cluster ; (2)First results of Herschel and the HerMES extragalactic survey
(1) In this talk I will present a recent study of the bar fraction in the Coma Cluster galaxies based on a sample of 190 galaxies selected from the Sloan...
Witnessing the Formation of Massive, Distant Galaxies in the (Sub)Millimeter Regime
In order to understand galaxy formation it is crucial to obtain sensitive observations of the emission of dust and molecular gas both of which constrain the on...
XMM-Newton and Chandra combined analysis of the most massive galaxy clusters at z~1
We present a detailed study of the spatially resolved thermodynamic and hydrostatic mass profiles of the five most massive clusters detected at z~1 via the...
