Citation | James Dunlop is an outstanding observational cosmologist whose leadership of large statistical surveys first connected the assembly history of galaxies with the activity of their central black holes. He also pioneered the study of galaxies at submillimetre wavelengths, finding sources hidden by obscuring dust and thereby defining a complete census of the build-up of stars in the Universe. Most recently his ambitious surveys with the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed the abundance and properties of the most distant galaxies currently known, providing the first convincing evidence of their influence on early cosmic history. |
