Motivated by the detection of a hardening in the gamma-ray spectrum of the radio galaxy Centaurus A, we have analysed ~10 years of Fermi-LAT observations of 26 radio galaxies to search for similar spectral features. We find that the…

We analyze the $2-10$~keV X-ray emission of complete samples of AGN and galaxies selected at 12$\mu$m and recently compiled by Rush, Malkan \& Spinoglio (1993). As a necessary complement we also study the IR emissivity of the largest sample…

The Centaurus A radio galaxy, due to its proximity, presents itself as one of the few systems that allow the study of relativistic jet outflows at sub-parsec distances from the central supermassive black holes, with high signal to noise. We…

The satellite system of Centaurus A presents a curious cosmological puzzle: while the global population is consistent with theoretical expectations, its inner regions (d<150 kpc) exhibit a deficit of luminous satellite galaxies. Using the…

We present results of our Chandra observation with the ACIS-I instrument centered on the position of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the compact nonthermal radio source associated with the massive black hole (MBH) at the dynamical center of the…

Kilo-parsec scale hard ($>$ 3 keV) X-ray continuum and fluorescent Fe K$\alpha$ line emission has been recently discovered in nearby Compton-thick (CT) active galactic nuclei (AGN), which opens new opportunities to improve AGN torus…
