Galaxy evolution
We seek to uncover the origin and fate of galaxies by studying their baryon cycle and growth mechanisms, based on observations of their interstellar medium, star formation activity and stellar components
AGN
Galaxies and their central super-massive black holes (active galactic nuclei or AGN) evolve together in a fundamentally connected way. Our group studies the effect of AGN on the growth of galaxies and in their environments, using observations of outflows, morphologies, and kinematics.
Early universe
Understanding the nature and the formation mechanism of the first galaxies and structures in the early Universe is one of the main goals of modern Astrophysics. Our group is devoted to investigating the nature and origin of the earliest galaxies through observations of the gas content, chemistry and galaxy kinematics using state-of-the-art observatories.
Who are we?
The AGN and Galaxies Through the Ages (AGATHA) Group at Universidad Diego Portales conducts research that focuses on the evolution of galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) over cosmic time, out to the earliest systems. For this we use a variety of astronomical facilities, techniques and tools.
