We present the largest to date sample of hydrogen Lyman continuum (LyC) emitting galaxy candidates at any redshift, with 18 Ly$\alpha$ Emitters (LAEs) and 7 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs), obtained from the SSA22 field with Subaru/Suprime-Cam.…
We present the basic data for a large ground-based spectroscopic survey for z~3 ``Lyman break galaxies'' (LBGs), photometrically selected using rest-UV colors from very deep images in 17 high Galactic latitude fields. The total survey…
We test the hypothesis whether high redshift QSOs would preferentially appear in small groups or pairs, and if they are associated with massive, young clusters. We carried out a photometric search for \Ly emitters on scales $\lesssim 10…
We selected a sample of 437 BL Lac objects, taken from the RomaBZCat catalogue, for which spectroscopic information and SDSS photometry is available. We propose a new classification of BL Lacs in which the sources' type is not defined only…
In the third catalog of active galactic nuclei detected by the $Fermi$ Large Area Telescope Clean (3LAC) sample, there are 402 blazars candidates of uncertain type (BCU). The proposed analysis will help to evaluate the potential optical…
The BL Lacertae object S50716+714 is one of the most studied blazars on the sky due to its active variability and brightness in many bands, including VHE gamma rays. We present here two serendipitous results from recent far-ultraviolet…
We analyse a group of radio sources, a subset of the 200 mJy sample, all of which have core-jet radio structures measured with VLBI and have flat spectra stretching from the radio to the millimetre/sub-millimetre band. Thus the objects have…
Polarization measurements are presented for 52 radio-loud QSOs and BL Lac objects. For 9 highly polarized (p >3%) AGN, these are the first published polarization measurements. Of these 9, 7 are highly-polarized QSOs (HPQs), one is a BL Lac…
We have obtained low resolution (~20 Angstrom FWHM) slit spectra of 10 quasar candidates located within one degree of the z = 2.181 quasar Q0122-380 with the objective of searching for signs of large scale structure matching the intervening…
(Abridged) This is the second in a series of three papers which present and interpret basic observational data on the 6C* 151-MHz radio sample: a low-frequency selected sample which exploits filtering criteria based on radio properties…
We present spectroscopic Ly$\alpha$ luminosity functions (LFs) at z = 5.7 and z = 6.6 based on a large 209 source sample of Ly$\alpha$ emitter (LAE) candidates identified in Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam narrowband imaging and confirmed with…
We describe narrowband and spectroscopic searches for emission-line star forming galaxies in the redshift range 3 to 6 with the 10 m Keck II Telescope. These searches yield a substantial population of objects with only a single strong…
We present results from a multi-wavelength study of 29 sources (false detection probabilities <5%) from a survey of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey-North field at 1.1mm using the AzTEC camera. Comparing with existing 850um SCUBA…
Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) represent one of the kinds of star-forming galaxies that are found in the high-redshift universe. The detection of LBGs in the FIR domain can provide very important clues on their dust attenuation and total SFR,…
We analyze the existing evidence that BL Lacertae objects (BL Lacs) are sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays. We argue that three independent signatures observed in the real data -- (1) improvement of correlations with corrections of…
Using the sample of radio selected BL Lacertae objects (RBLs) and X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (XBLs) presented by Sambruna et al. (1996), we calculated the luminosities of radio, optical and X-ray of each source and made the…
We present a search for high-energy $\gamma$-ray emission from 566 Active Galactic Nuclei at redshift $z > 0.2$, from the 2WHSP catalog of high-synchrotron peaked BL Lac objects with eight years of Fermi-LAT data. We focus on a redshift…
We present a spectroscopic survey of Ly$\alpha$ emitters (LAEs) at $z\approx5.7$ using the multi-object spectrograph M2FS on the Magellan Clay telescope. This is part of a high-redshift galaxy survey carried out in several well-studied deep…
We present the results of our follow-up observation program of gamma-ray sources detected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. 26 blazars and 39 sources unidentified at other wavelengths were…
We report on low-resolution multi-object spectroscopy of 30 faint targets (R \~ 24-25) in the HDF-S and AXAF deep field obtained with the VLT Focal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph (FORS1). Eight high-redshift galaxies with 2.75< z < 4…
