Updated on Jan, 8 2014
My research encompasses a galaxy evolution and observational cosmology. My selected past achievements include:
● Detected the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect (expansion of the Universe) by
cross-correlating WISE and WMAP at 3.1σ significance (most significant
from a single galaxy map). (Goto et al. 2011d)
● Discovered one of the highest redshift QSOs at z∼6 to investigate the reionization
process of the early Universe (Goto 2006).
● Performed the Gunn-Peterson test with a QSO at z=6.4 and found a 200 Mpc
long dark gap (Goto et al 2011c).
● Discovered the most distant Lyα blob around a QSO and its host galaxy at z=6.4 (Goto et al.2009,2011e)
● Revealed dust-hidden cosmic star formation history at 0<z<2.2 more
reliably than Spitzer by taking advantage of the AKARI space telescope's
continuous mid-IR filters (Goto et al. 2010a,b,2011a,b).
● Found galaxy clusters to z 1.7 using a new technique using the AKARI's 4μm ∼
filter (Goto et al. 2008c).
● A creation of a catalog of ∼4,000 galaxy clusters (which was one of the
largest) (Goto et al. 2002a)
● Revealed the environmental dependence of morphological and spectral
evolution of galaxies with unprecedented statistical accuracy (Goto et al.
2002b,2003a,b,c,e)
● Solved the 20-year-old mystery on the physical origin of post-starburst(E+A)
galaxies (Goto et al. 2003d,2004,2005a)
● Found evidence of downsizing galaxy evolution using a HST/ACS cluster
survey at z 1 ∼ (Goto et al. 2005b)
