X-ray observations have revealed in other galaxies a class of extra-nuclear X-ray point sources with X-ray luminosities of $10^{39}$--$10^{41}$ erg/sec, exceeding the Eddington luminosity for stellar mass X-ray binaries. These…
We have obtained spectroscopic redshifts using the Keck-I telescope for a sample of 73 submillimeter (submm) galaxies for which precise positions are available. The galaxies lie at redshifts out to z=3.6, with a median redshift of 2.2. The…
We present a catalog of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) and redshifts for 4003 extragalactic radio sources detected at 1.4 GHz, derived by identifying optical counterparts and spectroscopic redshifts for linearly polarized radio sources…
Using the Lyman Dropout technique, we identify 148 candidate radio sources at $z \gtrsim 4 - 7$ from the 887.5 MHz Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) observations of the GAMA23 field. About 112 radio sources are currently…
The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is performing a high Galactic latitude survey in the 14-195 keV band at a flux limit of ~10^{-11} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1}, leading to the discovery of new high energy sources, most of which have not so far…
Direct redshift determination of BL Lac objects is highly challenging as the emission in the optical and near-infrared (NIR) bands is largely dominated by the non-thermal emission from the relativistic jet that points very close to our line…
We use a 24 micron selected sample containing more than 8,000 sources to study the evolution of star-forming galaxies in the redshift range from z=0 to z~3. We obtain photometric redshifts for most of the sources in our survey using a…
We present the analysis and results of a spectroscopic follow-up program of a mass-selected sample of six galaxies at 3 < z < 4 using data from Keck-NIRSPEC and VLT-Xshooter. We confirm the z > 3 redshifts for half of the sample through the…
We investigate the nature of the faintest radio sources detected in 3 VLA surveys, to faint limits 8 microJy at 8.5 GHz. Using the Keck Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph in BRI and the Near Infra Red Camera in K, we image 51 radio…
This study explores a rare population of sources in a currently uncharted region of spectroscopic redshift space in the Euclid Quick Data Release (Q1), and is intended potentially to support upcoming spectroscopic studies. Our goal is to…
In this paper we investigate the properties of low X-ray-to-optical flux ratio sources detected in a wide area (2.5deg^2) shallow (f(0.5-8keV)~10e-14cgs) XMM-Newton survey. We find a total of 26 sources (5% of the total X-ray selected…
We present the broad-band Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of the largest available highly (72%) complete spectroscopic sample of mid-infrared (MIR) selected galaxies and AGN at intermediate redshift. The sample contains 203…
We present redshift measurements of four faint galaxies around the archetypal ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220. These galaxies have significantly higher redshifts ($z \sim$ 0.036 -- 0.091) than that of Arp 220 ($z \simeq 0.018$).…

We investigate how well the redshift distribution of a population of extragalactic objects can be reconstructed using angular cross-correlations with a sample whose redshifts are known. We derive the minimum variance quadratic estimator,…
We present the results of spectroscopy using HYDRA on the WIYN 3.5m telescope of objects in the deep SWIRE radio field. The goal of the project was to determine spectroscopic redshifts for as many of the brighter objects in the field as…
We have surveyed 188 ROSAT PSPC fields for X-ray sources with hard spectra (alpha<0.5); such sources must be major contributors to the X-ray background at faint fluxes. In this paper we present optical identifications for 62 of these…
Next-generation radio surveys are expected to detect tens of millions of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with a median redshift of z > 1. Beyond targeted surveys, the vast majority of these objects will not have spectroscopic redshifts, whilst…
In this paper we present follow-up optical observations of Ultra Steep Spectrum sources that were found by matching 150 MHz GMRT sources with either the 74 MHz VLSS or the 1400 MHz NVSS. These sources are possibly high-redshift radio…
