Marco Chiaberge

Welcome to my Web Page

I am an Astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, MD, U.S.A.

I also hold an appointment as Associate Research Scientist in the Physics and Astronomy Department of the Johns Hopkins University.

My work time 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 ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys) Team.

My scientific interests are related to Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and high-redshift clusters of galaxies.

News and Highlights

Our latest work on the connection between galaxy mergers and radio-loud AGN activity is in press on Th Astrophysical Journal. Here's a link to the ADS webpage for this paper. Here's a link to the ESA-HUBBLE press release.

About Me

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 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.

From 2001 to 2015 I held a tenured research position at INAF-ORA in Bologna, Italy. I have been at STScI since 2005 with an ESA/AURA Astronomer position, working on the Hubble Space Telescope.
