Science Interests Formation of galaxies and black holes in the early universe and their growth over cosmic time; large surveys with Hubble and other telescopes to discover new populations of distant galaxies and black holes; physical properties of active
galactic nuclei using observations from radio, infrared, optical, ultraviolet through to X-ray energies.
Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above 6 × 1019 electron volts and the positions of active
galactic nuclei (AGN) lying within ∼ 75 megaparsecs.
