PI: Margherita talia (Unibo)

Margherita Talia is the PI of the research group. She is currently an RTDb (Senior assistant professor) at the University of Bologna. She is an expert in optical/NIR spectroscopy of high-redshift galaxies and in the study of obscured star-formation. She led the first study on the RS-NIRdark galaxies in the COSMOS field

Fabrizio Gentile (unibo)

Fabrizio Gentile is currently a second-year PhD student at the University of Bologna. He is an expert in multi-band photometry, SED-fitting and machine learning. He led the efforts to build the complete photometric catalog of the RS-NIRdark galaxies in the COSMOS field. He is the main author of the code "PhoEBO" (Photometry Extractor for Blended Objects)


Meriem Behiri (SISSA)

Meriem Behiri is currently a second-year PhD student at the Scuola Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA). She is an expert in the study of obscured star-formation at high-redshift in radio surveys. During her master's thesis at UniBo, she led the second study in the COSMOS field to expand the analysis by M. Talia et al. (2021)


Marika giulietti (IRA-INAF)

Marika Giulietti is currently a postdoc at the Istituto di Radio Astronomia (IRA). Her research interests focus on the multi-band analysis of strongly lensed high-redshift dusty star-forming galaxies and their role in co-evolutionary models of galaxy evolution. During her master's thesis at UniBo, she started the analysis of the RS-NIRdark galaxies in the COSMOS field.

Andrea Enia (UNIBO)

Andrea Enia is currently a postdoc at the University of Bologna. He is an expert in the study of obscured star-formation at high-redshift (lensed and unlensed galaxies) in radio and sub-mm surveys. He led the study to search and characterize the RS-NIRdark galaxies in the GOODS-N field.
