Swift, a dedicated gamma-ray burst (GRB) satellite with ultrarapid slewing capability, and a suite of ground-based (ESO) telescopes have recently achieved a...
We propose a wide-area, high latitude, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN, as a...
The size and mass evolution of the massive galaxies over cosmic time
Once understood as the paradigm of passively evolving objects, the discovery that massive galaxies experienced an enormous structural evolution in the last ten...
The size of galaxies in an era of ultra-deep imaging
The traditional measurement of the size of galaxies, the effective radius, is a relic of the epoch when shallow imaging was unable to capture the full extension...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey as an Archetypal Mid-Scale Program
We describe the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as an archetypal mid-scale program, including the technical, scientific, and organizational aspects underpinning...
