Ever deeper and wider look-back surveys have led to a fairly robust outline of the cosmic
star-formation history, which culminated around; this period is often nicknamed “cosmic …

Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are energetic astrophysical sources powered by accretion onto
supermassive black holes in galaxies, and present unique observational signatures that …

In this paper, we provide updated constraints on the bolometric quasar luminosity function
(QLF) from z= 0 to z= 7. The constraints are based on an observational compilation that …

In this paper, we investigate how massive central galaxies cease their star formation by
comparing theoretical predictions from cosmological simulations: EAGLE, Illustris, and …

We summarize what large surveys of the contemporary Universe have taught us about the
physics and phenomenology of the processes that link the formation and evolution of …

We present the VLA-COSMOS 3 GHz Large Project based on 384 h of observations with the
Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 3 GHz (10 cm) toward the two square degree …

Radiation, winds, and jets from the active nucleus of a massive galaxy can interact with its
interstellar medium, and this can lead to ejection or heating of the gas. This terminates star …

Supermassive black holes are found at the centres of massive galaxies. During the growth of
these black holes they light up to become visible as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and …

We present new measurements of the evolution of the X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of
unabsorbed and absorbed active galactic nuclei (AGNs) out to z∼ 5. We construct samples …

We present a sample of 151 dwarf galaxies (10 8.5≲ M⋆≲ 10 9.5 M☉) that exhibit optical
spectroscopic signatures of accreting massive black holes (BHs), increasing the number of …
