Environmental effects in the interaction and merging of galaxies in zCOSMOS
P. Kampczyk, S. J. Lilly, L. de Ravel +56
(Abridged) We analyze the environments and galactic properties (morphologies and star-formation histories) of a sample of 153 close kinematic pairs in the redshift range 0.2 < z <…
The orientation of disk galaxies around large cosmic voids
Jesús Varela, Juan Betancort-Rijo, Ignacio Trujillo +1
Using a large sample of galaxies from the SDSS-DR7, we have analysed the alignment of disk galaxies around cosmic voids. We have constructed a complete sample of cosmic voids (devo…
The impact of galaxy interactions on AGN activity in zCOSMOS
J. D. Silverman, P. Kampczyk, K. Jahnke +52
Close encounters between galaxies are expected to be a viable mechanism, as predicted by numerical simulations, by which accretion onto supermassive black holes can be initiated. T…
An updated MILES stellar library and stellar population models
J. Falcón-Barroso, P. Sánchez-Blázquez, A. Vazdekis +5
(Aims) We present a number of improvements to the MILES library and stellar population models. We correct some small errors in the radial velocities of the stars, measure the spect…
The evolution of quiescent galaxies at high redshift (z > 1.4)
H. Domínguez Sánchez, F. Pozzi, C. Gruppioni +45
We have studied the evolution of high redshift quiescent galaxies over an effective area of ~1.7 deg^2 in the COSMOS field. Galaxies have been divided according to their star-forma…
Black hole accretion and host galaxies of obscured quasars in XMM-COSMOS
V. Mainieri, A. Bongiorno, A. Merloni +61
We explore the connection between black hole growth at the center of obscured quasars selected from the XMM-COSMOS survey and the physical properties of their host galaxies. We stu…
