Ever deeper and wider look-back surveys have led to a fairly robust outline of the cosmic
star-formation history, which culminated around; this period is often nicknamed “cosmic …

We summarize what large surveys of the contemporary Universe have taught us about the
physics and phenomenology of the processes that link the formation and evolution of …

We explore the simple inter-relationships between mass, star formation rate, and
environment in the SDSS, zCOSMOS, and other deep surveys. We take a purely empirical …

Massive black holes (BHs) are at once exotic and yet ubiquitous, residing at the centers of
massive galaxies in the local Universe. Recent years have seen remarkable advances in …

The Massive Ancient Galaxies at z > 3 NEar-infrared (MAGAZ3NE) Survey: Confirmation of
Extremely Rapid Star Formation and Quenching Timescales for Massive Galaxies in the Early …

Abstract We analyse Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra of 568 obscured luminous quasars.
The [O iii] λ5007 Å emission line shows blueshifts and blue excess, indicating that some of …

We investigate the effect of active galactic nucleus (AGN) variability on the observed
connection between star formation and black hole accretion in extragalactic surveys. Recent …

We review results from cosmic X-ray surveys of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) over the past
≈ 15≈ 15 years that have dramatically improved our understanding of growing …

We present spectroscopic redshifts of a large sample of galaxies with I AB< 22.5 in the
COSMOS field, measured from spectra of 10,644 objects that have been obtained in the first …

We use multiscale smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations to study the inflow of gas
from galactic scales (∼ 10 kpc) down to≲ 0.1 pc, at which point the gas begins to resemble …
