With an inferred bolometric luminosity of $5\times10^{15}{\rm \lsun}$, the recently identified z=3.87, broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255 is apparently the most luminous object currently known. As half of its prodigious emission…

We present rest-frame optical/near-infrared spectra of the gravitationally lense d quasar APM 08279+5255 at $z=3.91$ that has been taken using the Infrared Camera (IRC) onboard the AKARI infrared satellite. The observed continuum consists…

We present submillimetre observations of the z=3.653 quasar SDSS160705+533558 together with data in the optical and infrared. The object is unusually bright in the far-IR and submm with an IR luminosity of ~10^14 L_sun. We ascribe this…

We report observations of the z = 3.87 broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255 (Irwin et al. 1998) with the Adaptive Optics Bonnette (AOB) of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. The object is found to be a double source. The separation…

We have mapped the molecular gas content in the host galaxy of the strongly lensed high redshift quasar APM 08279+5255 (z=3.911) with the Very Large Array at 0.3" resolution. The CO(J=1-0) emission is clearly resolved in our maps. The…

The ultraluminous broad absorption line quasar APM08279+5255 is one of the most luminous systems known. Here, we present an analysis of its nuclear CO(1-0) emission. Its extended distribution suggests that the gravitational lens in this…

Submillimeter (and in some cases millimeter) wavelength continuum measurements are presented for a sample of 40 active galactic nuclei (probably all quasars) lensed by foreground galaxies. The object of this study is to use the lensing…

We report on one year of photometric monitoring of the ultraluminous BAL quasar APM 08279+5255. The temporal sampling reveals that this gravitationally lensed system has brightened by ~0.2 mag in 100 days. Two potential causes present…

We present a suite of observations of the recently identified ultraluminous BAL quasar APM 08279+5255, taken both in the infra-red with the NICMOS high resolution camera on board the Hubble Space Telescope, and at 3.5cm with the Very Large…

The gravitationally lensed quasar APM 08279+5255 has the fastest claimed wind from any AGN, with velocities of 0.6-0.7c, requiring magnetic acceleration as special relativisitic effects limit all radiatively driven winds to v<0.3-0.5c.…

We detected with the IRAM interferometer the lines of CO(4-3) and CO(9-8) from the recently-discovered broad absorption line quasar APM 08279+5255. The molecular lines are at a redshift of 3.911, which we take to be the true cosmological…
