9 The Goldstone Theorem
The mechanism of SSB does not only provide a general strategy for unifying the description of apparently different systems, but it also provide...

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...

Orbit Dynamics, Stability and Chaos in Planetary Systems
Let us start with a problem of dynamical biology, which was posed about 800 years ago by Fibonacci1

1 Symmetries of a Classical System
The realization of symmetries in physical systems has proven to be of help in the description of physical phenomena: it makes it possible to relate...

6 Sectors with Energy-Momentum Density
We shall now discuss the requirement III of finite energy-momentum, briefly mentioned in the previous section. Clearly, the possibility of using...

14 Quantum Fields at Non-zero Temperature
The general structure discussed above provides a neat and unique prescription for the quantization of relativistic fields at non-zero temperature...

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...

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...

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...

A Multiwavelength Survey of Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies from z=3 to z=0
Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs) are small starburst systems that dominate the number density of galaxies at intermediate redshifts. LCBGs have...
-
Local Redshift Surveys and Galaxy Evolution
We present observations of galaxy environmental dependencies using data from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. From a combined analysis of the...

A Study of Distant Lyα Emitters in Overdense Regions
Recently, we conducted a Very Large Telescope (VLT) large program to search for forming clusters by looking for overdensities of Lyα emitters around...

The Nature of UV-Selected Galaxies in the CDFS
The compilation of the cosmic star formation history suggests that no particular epoch of star formation is seen at redshifts z > 1 (Madau et al....

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...

Quasar Host Galaxies of GEMS, First Results: 0.5 < z < 2.75
Understanding the host galaxies (HGs) of quasars is the key to linking the evolution of galaxies and their central black holes. Within the gems...

Brightest Cluster Galaxy Formation in the Cluster C0037-2522: Flattening of the Dark Matter Cusp
The X-ray cluster C0337-2522 at redshift z = 0.59 hosts in its core a group of five elliptical galaxies. Using N-body simulations we show that a...

The FORS Deep Field Spectroscopic Survey of High-Redshift Galaxies
The evolution of the properties of galaxy populations with redshift provides important constraints on current models of galaxy formation and...

The Cosmological Evolution of Quasar Black-Hole Masses
The strong correlation observed between black-hole and bulge mass in the local Universe (eg. Magorrian et al. 1998; Gebhardt et al. 2000) directly...
