It was recently suggested by Boldyrev & Gwinn that the characteristics of radio scintillations from distant pulsars are best understood if the interstellar electron-density fluctuations that cause the time broadening of the radio pulses…

We have started a search for High Redshift Radio Galaxies (HZRGs) in an area covering 7 sr by selecting a sample of Ultra Steep Spectrum (USS) sources with a low flux density cut-off S(1400 MHz) > 10 mJy and a steep spectral index cut-off…

A sample of 14 FRBs with measured redshifts and scattering times is used to assess contributions to dispersion and scattering from the intergalactic medium (IGM), galaxy halos, and the disks of host galaxies. The IGM and galaxy halos…

X-ray surveys provide the most efficient means for the detection of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). However, they face difficulties in detecting the most heavily obscured Compton-thick AGN. The BAT detector on board the Gehrels/Swift mission,…

We determine the characteristics of the 7mm to 20cm wavelength radio variability in Sgr A* on time scales from days to three decades. The amplitude of the intensity modulation is between 30 and 39% at all wavelengths. Analysis of uniformly…

During reionization, a fraction of galactic Ly$\alpha$ emission is scattered in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and appears as a diffuse light extending megaparsecs from the source. We investigate how to probe the properties of the early…

Spectral absorption features can be used to constrain the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in the integrated light of galaxies. Spectral indices used at low redshift are in the far red, and therefore increasingly hard to detect at higher…

This study presents the capabilities of the AXIS telescope in estimating redshifts from X-ray spectra alone (X-ray redshifts, XZs). Through extensive simulations, we establish that AXIS observations enable reliable XZ estimates for more…

We analyze the long-term evolution of the fluxes of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) - 0923+392, 3C 111, 3C 273, 3C 345, 3C 454.3, and 3C 84 - in the frequency range 80-267 GHz using archival calibration data of the IRAM Plateau de Bure…

We present the Advanced Camera for Surveys Active Galactic Nuclei (ACS-AGN) Catalog, a catalog of 2585 active galactic nucleus (AGN) host galaxies that are at redshifts 0.2<z<2.5 and that were imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope's…

We combine emission line and X-ray luminosities for 45 sources from the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S), and seven HELLAS sources, to obtain a new sample of 52 X-ray selected type-II active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Eighteen of our sources…

We demostrate that the measurement of fluctuations of polarization due to the galactic interstellar scintillations may be used to study the structure of the radiation field at compact radio sources. We develop a mathematical formalism and…

Observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope have revealed a population of red-sequence galaxies with a significant excess in their 24-micron emission compared to what is expected from an old stellar population. We identify 900 red…

The compact steep spectrum and gigahertz peaked spectrum sources are widely believed to be young radio sources, with ages <10^6 yr. If the activity in the nucleus is fuelled by the supply of gas, one might find evidence of this gas by…

We conducted a HI 21cm absorption study of a sample of 147 nearby (z < 0.1) low-power radio sources with $10\,\mathrm{mJy} < S_{1.4\,\mathrm{GHz}} < 30\,\mathrm{mJy}$ and $\log(P_{1.4\,\mathrm{GHz}}/\mathrm{W\,Hz^{-1}}) = 20.5-23.7$, using…

We investigate the global neutral hydrogen (HI) content of isolated galaxies selected from the SDSS spectroscopic survey with optical evidence of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Our sample includes galaxies with unresolved HI observations…

We describe a complete, flux-density-limited sample of galaxies at redshift $0.8 < z < 1.3$ selected at 16 micron. At the selection wavelength near 8 micron rest, the observed emission comes both from dust heated by intense star formation…
