The third data release of the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey provides an unprecedented view of the northern sky at 144 MHz. While compact sources can be efficiently identified with automated software packages, the detection of diffuse radio…

Results are presented of extended and refined optical identification of 181 radio/X-ray sources in the RASS-Green Bank (RGB) catalog which have been spectroscopically observed in the Sloan digital sky survey (SDSS) DR5. For 72 sources, the…

abridged: We use a complete sample of about 140,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to study the size distribution of galaxies and its dependence on their luminosity, stellar mass, and morphological type. The large SDSS…

The upcoming XMM Large Scale Structure Survey (XMM-LSS) will ultimately provide a unique mapping of the distribution of X-ray sources in a contiguous 64 sq. deg. region. In particular, it will provide the 3-dimensional location of about 900…
