Marco Chiaberge
Welcome to my Personal Web Page
I am an Astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD, U.S.A.
I am on a "leave of absence" from a research position at INAF - Istituto di Radioastronomia, Bologna (Italy).
My work time at STScI is equally divided into a functional part and a research part. On the functional side, I work for the Hubble Space Telescope and I am part of the AWT (Advanced Camera for Surveys and Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 Team).
My scientific interests are related to Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and high-redshift clusters of galaxies.
Our latest work on the origin of the radio loudness in Active Galactic Nuclei and its relationship with the properties of the central supermassive black hole is in press on MNRAS. Here's a link to the ADS webpage for this paper. The paper was #2 "most popular paper" on the ADS in August 2011, for the "black holes" and "AGN" topics.
I graduated in Physics in 1997 from University of Torino, Italy. Then I moved to SISSA/ISAS in Trieste, Italy for graduate school, where I got my PhD in Astrophysics in 2000, with a thesis on the nuclear regions of low redshift radio galaxies as seen with the Hubble Space Telescope.
I was a postdoc at SISSA/ISAS for 6 months in 2000-2001 then I moved to STScI where I was ESA FELLOW between 2001 and 2003.
In 2002 I obtained a research position at INAF-IRA in Bologna, Italy and since 2005 I am back at STScI with an ESA/AURA Astronomer position, working on the Hubble Space Telescope.
