    THE NATURE OF GROWING BULGES WITHIN Z < 1.3 GALAXY DISKS IN THE GOODS-N FIELD.
    The ideas on the formation history of disk galaxy bulges can beconfronted with direct observations of high redshift bulge precursors. Of vital importance is the...

    The nuclear dust lane of Circinus: collimation without a torus
    In some AGN, nuclear dust lanes connected to kpc-scale dust structures provide all the extinction required to obscure the nucleus, challenging the role of the...

    The role of active galactic nucleus feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: Supermassive black holes suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs)—the energetic centres powered by supermassive black holes—may play an...
