The XMM-Newton wide-field survey in the COSMOS field: I. Survey description

G. Hasinger, N. Cappelluti, H. Brunner +21

We present the first set of XMM-Newton EPIC observations in the 2 square degree COSMOS field. The strength of the COSMOS project is the unprecedented combination of a large solid a…

COSMOS : Hubble Space Telescope Observations

N. Scoville, A. Benson, A. W. Blain +50

The Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) was initiated with an extensive allocation (590 orbits in Cycles 12-13) using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) for high resolution imaging. Her…

Extragalactic Science with Herschel-SPIRE

M. J. Griffin, J. J. Bock, A. Franceschini +9

SPIRE, the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver, is one of three instruments to fly on ESA's Herschel Space Observatory. It contains a three-band imaging photometer operating…

The XMM-Newton survey of the ELAIS-S1 field. I: Number counts, angular correlation function and X-ray spectral properties

S. Puccetti, F. Fiore, V. D'Elia +16

We have surveyed with XMM-Newton the central ~0.6 deg2 region of the ELAIS-S1 field down to flux limits of ~5.5X10-16 cgs (0.5-2 keV, S band), ~2X10-15 cgs (2-10 keV, H band), and…

Luminosity functions for galaxies and quasars in the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extra-galactic (SWIRE) Legacy survey

T. S. R. Babbedge, M. Rowan-Robinson, M. Vaccari +18

We construct rest-frame luminosity functions at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8 and 24 microns over the redshift range 0<z<2 for galaxies and 0<z<4 for optical QSOs, using optical and infrared da…

GMASS, Unveiling Distant Massive Galaxies with Spitzer

J. D. Kurk, A. Cimatti, E. Daddi +11

One of the main questions of galaxy formation is how and when galaxies assembled their mass. Observations suggest that most mass assembly and star formation occured at 1 < z < 3. H…

Understanding Infrared Galaxy Populations: the SWIRE Legacy Survey

Michael Rowan-Robinson, Carol Lonsdale, Gene Smith +21

We discuss spectral energy distributions, photometric redshifts, redshift distributions, luminosity functions, source-counts and the far infrared to optical luminosity ratio for so…

Chandra and Spitzer unveil heavily obscured quasars in the SWIRE/Chandra Survey

M. Polletta, B. J. Wilkes, B. Siana +18

Using the large multi-wavelength data set in the chandra/SWIRE Survey (0.6 square degrees in the Lockman Hole), we show evidence for the existence of highly obscured (Compton-thick…

Evolutionary Paths for Galaxies and AGNs: New Insights by the Spitzer Space Telescope

A. Franceschini, G. Rodighiero, S. Berta +1

We compare the history of the galaxy mass build-up, as inferred from near-IR observations, and the Star Formation Rate of massive stars in the comoving volume traced by deep extens…

Cosmic evolution of the galaxy mass and luminosity functions by morphological type from multi-wavelength data in the CDF-South

A. Franceschini, G. Rodighiero, P. Cassata +7

We constrain the evolution of the galaxy mass and luminosity functions from the analysis of (public) multi-wavelength data in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) area, obtained fro…
