    Active galactic nuclei and nuclear starbursts.
    The Starburst model for radio-quiet Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) postulates that the activity seen in most AGN is powered solely by young stars and compact...

    Active Galactic Nuclei Feedback and the Origin and Fate of the Hot Gas in Early-type Galaxies
    A recent determination of the relationships between the X-ray luminosity of the ISM (L X) and the stellar and total mass for a sample of nearby early-type...

    AGILE, Fermi, Swift, and GASP/WEBT multi-wavelength observations of the high-redshift blazar 4C +71.07 in outburst
    Context. The flat-spectrum radio quasar 4C +71.07 is a high-redshift (z = 2.172), γ-loud blazar whose optical emission is dominated by thermal radiation from...

    An excess of damped Lyman α galaxies near quasi-stellar objects
    We present a sample of 33 damped Lyman α systems (DLAs) discovered in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) whose absorption redshifts (zabs) are within 6000 km s...

    An unusual iron Lo-BAL quasar detected by ISOCAM
    We report the discovery of an unusual low-ionization broad absorption line quasar at z=1.776 which exhibits absorption lines from many excited states of Fe II...
