Thick subcategories of the derived category of a hereditary algebra

We classify thick subcategories of the bounded derived category of a hereditary abelian category $A$ in terms of subcategories of $A$. The proof can be applied to characterize the localizing subcategories of the full derived category of $A$. As an application we prove an algebraic analog of the telescope conjecture for the derived category of a representation finite hereditary artin algebra.
