New Insight on Galaxy Formation and Evolution From Keck Spectroscopy of the Hawaii Deep Fields

TL;DR: In this paper, the results of spectroscopic studies with the LRIS spectrograph on Keck of two of the Hawaii deep survey fields were presented, and the evolution of the rest-frame K-band luminosity function and its evolution with redshift were described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dusty star forming galaxies at high redshift

TL;DR: In this article, a deep survey of two blank regions of sky performed at sub-millimeter wavelengths (450 and 850-micron) was performed, and it was shown that if the sources detected in the 850micron band are powered by star formation, then each must be converting more than 100 solar masses of gas per year into stars, which is larger than the maximum star formation rates inferred for most optically selected galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resolving the extragalactic hard X-ray background

TL;DR: A deep survey using the Chandra satellite detects hard X-ray sources that could be active nuclei in dust-enshrouded galaxies or a population of quasars at extremely high redshift.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cosmic evolution of hard x-ray selected active galactic nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used highly spectroscopically complete deep and wide-area Chandra surveys to determine the cosmic evolution of hard X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs).
