Cosmological Evolution of Extragalactic Sources

  • Chapter
The Post-Recombination Universe

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 240))

  • 90 Accesses

Abstract

We review all the relevant information on the cosmological evolution of extragalactic sources. We show that the evolution of Active Galactic Nuclei selected at radio, optical and X-ray wavebands is well represented by simple Luminosity Evolution models. A population of Actively Star Forming galaxies is also found to evolve on time scales similar to those of AGNs. Finally, we touch on the problem of the physical interpretation of the cosmological evolution for these source populations.
