Quasars and the Birth & Evolution of Galaxies
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It was on February 5, 1963 (just 8 days before my birth) that astronomer
|
|
||||||
Maarten Schmidt ran through the hallways of Caltech announcing that
|
|
||||||
he had discovered the high redshift nature of quasars, then known only
|
|
||||||
as mysterious points of light recently identified in radio surveys. In
|
|
||||||
the interim period our understanding of their place in the universe has
|
|
||||||
gone from that of isolated, ultraluminous freaks of nature to crucial
|
|
||||||
links in the birth and evolution of massive galaxies. I will present an
|
|
||||||
overview of these very recent and dramatic developments.
