Extreme star formation events in quasar hosts over 0.5 < z < 4
We explore the relationship between active galactic nuclei (AGN) and star formation in a sample of 513 optically luminous type 1 quasars up to redshifts of ˜4...
Field-level Lyman-α forest modeling in redshift space via augmented nonlocal Fluctuating Gunn-Peterson Approximation
Context. Devising fast and accurate methods of predicting the Lyman-α forest at the field level, avoiding the computational burden of running large-volume...
First black hole mass estimation for the quadruple lensed system WGD2038-4008
Context. The quadruple lensed system WGD2038-4008 (z s = 0.777 ± 0.001) has recently been discovered with the help of new techniques and observations. Black...
First Direct Evidence for Keplerian Rotation in Quasar Inner Broad-line Regions
We introduce a novel method to derive rotation curves with light-day spatial resolution of the inner regions of lensed quasars. We aim to probe the kinematics...
First Ground-based Charge-coupled Device Proper Motions for Fornax. II. Final Results
We present the first entirely ground-based astrometric determination of the proper motion for the Fornax Local Group dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxy of the...
First simultaneous UBVRI photopolarimetric observations of a sample of normal quasars
We present what we believe to be the first truly simultaneous UBVRI photopolarimetric results for a sample of eight 'normal' quasars. In five of these quasars...
First tentative detection of anisotropy in the QSO distribution around nearby edge-on spiral galaxies
Aims:To check whether the polar angle distribution of QSOs around nearby spiral galaxies is isotropic or not. Methods: A statistical analysis of the polar angle...
Context. The nature of ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) sources is still a matter of debate. Studies of their counterparts in other spectral ranges will help to...
