The environments of starburst and post-starburst galaxies at z=0.4-0.8
Bianca M. Poggianti, Alfonso Aragon-Salamanca, Dennis Zaritsky +16
Post-starburst (E+A or k+a) spectra, characterized by their exceptionally strong Balmer lines in absorption and the lack of emission lines, belong to galaxies in which the star for…

Erratum: Luminosity function, sizes and FR dichotomy of radio-loud AGN
Christian R. Kaiser, Philip N. Best
This erratum corrects a number of formulae containing mistakes in the paper 'Luminosity function, sizes and FR dichotomy of radio-loud AGN', 2007, MNRAS, v. 381, p.1548. The correc…
Radio loud AGN and the L_X - σrelation of galaxy groups and clusters
Shiyin Shen, Guinevere Kauffmann, Anja von der Linden +2
We use the ROSAT All-Sky Survey to study the X-ray properties of a sample of 625 groups and clusters of galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We stack clusters with…
Radio Jets in Galaxies with Actively Accreting Black Holes: new insights from the SDSS
Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman, Philip N. Best
The majority of nearby radio-loud AGN are found in massive, old elliptical galaxies with weak emission lines. At high redshifts,however, most known radio AGN have strong emission l…
Luminosity function, sizes and FR dichotomy of radio-loud AGN
Christian R. Kaiser, Philip N. Best
The radio luminosity function (RLF) of radio galaxies and radio-loud quasars is often modelled as a broken power-law. The break luminosity is close to the dividing line between the…

With the goal of identifying high redshift radio galaxies with FRI classification, here are presented high resolution, wide-field radio observations, near infra-red and optical ima…
The lifecycle of powerful AGN outflows
Christian R. Kaiser, Philip N. Best
During the course of this conference, much evidence was presented that points to an intimate connection between the energetic outflows driven by AGN and the energy budget and quite…
