OHTA, Kouji, D. Sc. (Kyoto Univ.), Astrophysics

Ohta has been working on (1)formation and evolution of galaxies,
especially at high redshifts, (2)cosmological evolution of
AGN/QSOs, and (3)relationship between intense star formation
and AGN/QSO activity.  He observes with optical and NIR telescopes
(Subaru, UH88, KPNO etc) and sometimes with radio telescopes.
He is also involved in constructing  Fibre-Multi-Object Spectrograph
for Subaru telescope.
