My Interests:• Galaxy and black hole formation and evolution
Origin of starburst and AGN activity Role of galaxy mergers Impact of feedback processes
• Instrumentation for ground-based optical/infrared telescopes Maryland-Magellan Tunable Filter (MMTF) NOAO Extremely Wide Field Infrared Mosaic (NEWFIRM) Astrophotonics
Current team @ Maryland:• PhD students: Mike Koss (shared), Mike McDonald, Hannah Krug, Alex McCormick
• Postdoc: Stacy Teng (shared), Margaret Trippe (shared)
• Faculty: Stuart Vogel, Rich Mushotzky, Chris Reynolds
• GSFC: Neil Gehrels, Harvey Moseley, Alexander Kutyrev, John Mather
Important Issues
• Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs): near & far
• Spheroids in formation
• Black hole growth
• Galactic winds

• Ground-based optical/near-infrared images and spectra• VLT/Keck NIR spectroscopy (Dasyra et al. 2006)• HST/NICMOS imaging (Veilleux, Kim, et al. 2009a)• Spitzer Space Telescope (Veilleux, Rupke, et al. 2009b)• Herschel Space Telescope (Humboldt Senior Award @ MPE) [NEW!]• Chandra/XMM/Suzaku (Stacy Teng PhD Thesis)• CARMA (Ashley Zauderer PhD Thesis)
