Joint formation of bright quasars and elliptical galaxies in the young Universe
P. Monaco, P. Salucci, L. Danese
We show that the mass function of black holes expected from the past quasar activity (both visible and obscured) is consistent with the number of dormant black holes found in the b…
Joint Cosmological Formation of QSOs and Bulge-dominated Galaxies
Pierluigi Monaco, Paolo Salucci, Luigi Danese
Older and more recent pieces of observational evidence suggest a strong connection between QSOs and galaxies; in particular, the recently discovered correlation between black hole…
The Cosmological Mass Function with 1D Gravity
Pierluigi Monaco, Giuseppe Murante
The cosmological mass function problem is analyzed in full detail in the case of 1D gravity, with analytical, semi-analytical and numerical techniques. The extended Press & Schecht…
The Nearby Optical Galaxy Sample: The Local Galaxy Luminosity Function
C. Marinoni, P. Monaco, G. Giuricin +1
In this paper we derive the galaxy luminosity function from the Nearby Optical Galaxy (NOG) sample, which is a nearly complete, magnitude-limited (B<14 mag), all-sky sample of near…
Reconstruction of cosmological initial conditions from galaxy redshift catalogues
P. Monaco, G. Efstathiou
We present and test a new method for the reconstruction of cosmological initial conditions from a full-sky galaxy catalogue. This method, called ZTRACE, is based on a self-consiste…
