Nome Renato Falomo
Su di Me Renato Falomo (RF) was born in Venice (Italy) in 1953 and took his PhD in Astronomy at the University of Padova in 1979. After some years of work as astronomer at the Observatory of Brera (Milan) and at Asiago observatory he moved to the Observatory of Padova . RF is presently working as full astronomer of INAF at the Astronomical Observatory of Padova Science interest is mainly focused on the phenomenology of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the context of the processes of formation and evolution of galaxies. The main work in this field includes observational studies of the spectral energy distributions of the nuclei and the characterization of the properties of the host galaxies. In particular a program was carried out for the investigation of the properties of BL Lacertae objects and low redshift radio galaxies using ESO telescopes and HST, the measurements of their black hole masses and the connection between nuclear activity and the processes of galaxy formation. The most recent main project is intended to study the cosmic evolution of the QSO host at high redshift using ESO VLT and Adaptive Optics images. Detailed description of the research work can be found in the research activity web pages. RF is authors of about 150 articles on refereed journals and over 130 other publications (see the on line publication list.) He serves as chairman of the TAC for TNG, REM and LBT observing time. RF is involved in the phase A study for a near-IR camera for E-ELT (MICADO project ). RF is also scientific director of the Italian magazine for amateur astronomers COELUM.
