The evolution of galaxies : starbursts and beyond (2018)
Thesis
Wilkinson, C. L. (2018). The evolution of galaxies : starbursts and beyond. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221716

Determining how galaxies evolve and what drives their evolution is one of the biggest challenges in astronomy. This thesis aims to shed light on the life-cycle of galaxies by answering the following questions: (1) How do different selection methods o...

Observing the effect of galaxy environment on the evolution of active galactic nuclei in the era of multiplexed wide-field fibre-optic spectroscopy (2018)
Thesis
Gordon, Y. A. (2018). Observing the effect of galaxy environment on the evolution of active galactic nuclei in the era of multiplexed wide-field fibre-optic spectroscopy. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4220780

In this thesis, we use the environment of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to test AGN unification. Furthermore, we analyse how interaction between the environment and host galaxy can influence AGN evolution. This is done for a range of galaxy densities,...
