PublicationTracing the cosmic web
The cosmic web is one of the most striking features of the distribution of galaxies and dark matter on the largest scales in the Universe. It is composed of...

PublicationTracing the Evolution of Dust Obscured Star Formation and Accretion Back to the Reionisation Epoch with SPICA
Our current knowledge of star formation and accretion luminosity at high redshift (z > 3-4), as well as the possible connections between them, relies mostly on...

PublicationTracking the impact of environment on the galaxy stellar mass function up to z ~ 1 in the 10 k zCOSMOS sample
We study the impact of the environment on the evolution of galaxies in the zCOSMOS 10 k sample in the redshift range 0.1 ≤ z ≤ 1.0 over an area of ~1.5 deg2...

PublicationTwo-dimensional Spectroscopy Reveals an Arc of Extended Emission in the Gravitational Lens System Q2237+0305
We present two-dimensional spectroscopy of the gravitational lens system Q2237+0305 (Einstein Cross) obtained with the INTEGRAL fiber system in subarcsecond...

PublicationUbiquitous seeding of supermassive black holes by direct collapse
We study for the first time the environment of massive black hole (BH) seeds (˜104-5 M⊙) formed via the direct collapse of pristine gas clouds in massive haloes...

PublicationUnderstanding the Cosmic Mass Function High-Mass Behavior
We claim that the discrepancy found between the theoretical predictions for the cosmic mass function and those found in numerical simulations is due to the fact...

PublicationUnderstanding the history of obscured star formation in the high-redshift with coordinated GTC and LMT surveys
The advances in bolometric detector technology during the last 15 years have allowed (sub)millimetre wavelength measurements to contribute important data to...
