Evolution of massive galaxies and their AGNs with the SDSS-III/BOSS survey

October 25 - 28, 2010

Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU)

The University of Tokyo

This workshop aims to bring together individuals from the BOSS community with a strong interest in studies of luminous galaxies and/or AGNs (+QSOs) in order to foster collaborative efforts across these disciplines.  The format of the meeting will involve a mixture of science presentations, working group sessions and ample time for interaction and discussion.  Topics will include the following:

1. • Mass function of luminous galaxies
   

2. • Environmental drivers of galaxy evolution
   

3. • Stellar populations
   

1. • Active Galactic Nuclei in luminous galaxies
   

2. • QSOs: mass/luminosity function, Eddington ratio
   

                                    distributions, clustering
