Johnson B CCD photometry of quasars and other active nuclei were obtained with the 1-m and 2.5-m reflectors of the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in the...
CCD monitoring of the X-ray variable quasar OX 169
Three nights of broadband filter monitoring of the OX 169 variable X-ray quasar using a GEC-type CCD have yielded a 0.005 mag rms precision in the R band. Rapid...
We report results from Chandra observations of the X-ray jet of 3C 273 during the calibration phase in 2000 January. The zeroth-order images and spectra from...
Circumgalactic medium of quasars: C IV absorption systems
We investigate the properties of circumgalactic gas in the halo of quasar (QSO) host galaxies from C IV absorption-line systems. We use the optical spectroscopy...
Clear evidence for the early triggering of a luminous quasar-like active galactic nuclei in a major, gas-rich merger
We present deep, intermediate resolution, long-slit Gemini GMOS-S optical spectra of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) type II quasar J002531-104022, which is...
Clustering of intermediate redshift quasars using the final SDSS III-BOSS sample
We measure the two-point clustering of spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the final sample of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) on...
Clustering of intermediate redshift quasars using the final SDSS III-BOSS sample
We measure the two-point clustering of spectroscopically confirmed quasars from the final sample of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) on...
Coevolution of supermassive black holes and their host galaxies
Accretion onto a supermassive black hole (BH) is the most viable explanation for the huge emitted luminosity in active galaxies. Nowadays a wealth of...
Compact radio-loud Broad Absorption Line Quasars .
For a long time, radio-loud Broad Absorption Line Quasars (BAL QSOs) were thought to be extremely rare objects. The absorbing troughs seen in their optical...
