AGN feedback in dwarf galaxies?

Gohar Dashyan, Joseph Silk, Gary A. Mamon +2

Dwarf galaxy anomalies, such as their abundance and cusp-core problems, remain a prime challenge in our understanding of galaxy formation. The inclusion of baryonic physics could p…

The XXL Survey: XXII. The XXL-North spectrophotometric sample and galaxy stellar mass function in X-ray detected groups and clusters

V. Guglielmo, B. M. Poggianti, B. Vulcani +42

The fraction of galaxies bound in groups in the nearby Universe is high (50% at z~0). Systematic studies of galaxy properties in groups are important in order to improve our unders…

Tracing the evolution of dust obscured star-formation and accretion back to the reionisation epoch with SPICA

C. Gruppioni, L. Ciesla, E. Hatziminaoglou +35

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 observations in the re…
