Supermassive black holes (BHs) have been found in 85 galaxies by dynamical modeling of
spatially resolved kinematics. The Hubble Space Telescope revolutionized BH research by …

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent the growth phases of the supermassive black holes
in the center of almost every galaxy. Powerful, highly ionized winds, with velocities∼ 0.1–0.2 …

We examine the properties of the host galaxies of 22 623 narrow-line active galactic nuclei
(AGN) with 0.02< z< 0.3 selected from a complete sample of 122 808 galaxies from the …

In the standard scenario for galaxy evolution young star-forming galaxies transform into red
bulge-dominated spheroids, where star formation has been quenched. To explain this …

New surface photometry of all known elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster is combined with
published data to derive composite profiles of brightness, ellipticity, position angle, isophote …

We report subarcsecond resolution IRAM PdBI millimeter CO interferometry of four z\sim 2
submillimeter galaxies (SMGs), and sensitive CO (3-2) flux limits toward three z\sim 2 …

We develop a general physical model for how galactic disks survive and/or are destroyed in
mergers and interactions. Based on simple dynamical arguments, we show that gas …

It is widely suspected that active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity ultimately sweeps galaxies
clear of their gas. We work out the observable properties required to achieve this. Large …

We report the results from a comprehensive study of 74 ultraluminous infrared galaxies
(ULIRGs) and 34 Palomar-Green (PG) quasars within z∼ 0.3 observed with the Spitzer …

We have performed an absorption-line survey of outflowing gas in 78 starburst-dominated,
infrared-luminous galaxies. This is the largest study of superwinds at z≲ 3. Superwinds are …
