Evolutionary paths of the most massive galaxies since z ~ 2
Observations have shown that massive galaxies at high redshift have much smaller sizes than galaxies of similar mass today. The mean stellar density of such...
Excitation of Molecular Hydrogen in Seyferts: NGC 5506 and NGC 3081
We utilize James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) integral field unit observations to investigate the behavior and excitation of H 2...
Massive stars dominate the light output of entire galaxies, with luminosities in excess of 10 5 L⊙. This makes them powerful probes with which to study a range...
Extended Point-spread Functions for Deep Astronomical Imaging Surveys
The low surface brightness (LSB) universe is one of the last frontiers in observational astronomy. However, uncovering the information contained in ultra-deep...
Extragalactic background light and its implications for galaxy evolution and gamma-ray astronomy
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is of fundamental importance both for understanding the entire process of galaxy evolution and for gamma-ray astronomy...
Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program). V. First Results on the Magnetic Field Orientation of Galaxies
We present the analysis of the magnetic field (B-field) structure of galaxies measured with far-infrared (FIR) and radio (3 and 6 cm) polarimetric observations...
Extragalactic Magnetism with SOFIA (SALSA Legacy Program): The Magnetic Fields in the Multiphase Interstellar Medium of the Antennae Galaxies
Mergers are thought to be a fundamental channel for galaxy growth, perturbing the gas dynamics and the magnetic fields (B-fields) in the interstellar medium...
Extremely Red Galaxies at z = 5–9 with MIRI and NIRSpec: Dusty Galaxies or Obscured Active Galactic Nuclei?
We study a new population of extremely red objects (EROs) recently discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) based on their NIRCam colors F277W ‑...
Faint double-peak Ha emission discovered in the halo of low redshift galaxies: is it produced by rogue intermediate mass black holes?
With the aim of detecting cosmological gas accretion onto galaxies of the local Universe, we examined the Ha emission in the halo of the 164 galaxies in the...
