One of the keys to interpreting the character and evolution of interstellar matter in the galaxy is understanding the distribution of the low density hot (10^5 K -10^6 K) phase of the interstellar medium (ISM). This phase is much more…

The extended HI disk and tidal tails of M81 present an interesting environment to study the effects of galaxy interaction on star formation and chemical evolution of the outer disk of a large spiral galaxy. We present H{\alpha} imaging of…

Ground based long slit spectroscopic observations of the nuclear region of NGC 5252, and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) spectra of the nucleus and two bright knots located 0.36" NE and 0.31" SW from it, show…

We present a catalogue of 3,305 H$\alpha$ emission-line point sources observed with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) in the vicinity fields of M31 and M33 during September 2011 and January 2016. The…

We investigate the wavelength-dependent intensity and reverberation properties of the UV-optical diffuse continuum emission expected from broad emission line gas. The locally optimally emitting clouds picture is adopted, with the cloud…

The LINER nucleus of the nearby spiral galaxy M81 was pointed by BeppoSAX, which caught it at the highest (2-10) keV flux level observed so far. The LECS, MECS and PDS data, extending over (0.1-100) keV, are used to investigate the physical…

The ultraviolet (UV) spectra of 16 blazars (<z> ~1) from the archives of the Hubble Space Telescope Faint Object Spectrograph have been analyzed in order to study in a systematic way the properties oftheir broad UV emission lines. We find…

The [CII] 158 micron line is one of the strongest emission lines observed in star-forming galaxies, and has been empirically measured to correlate with the star formation rate (SFR) globally and on ~kpc scales. However, due to the…

Low-ionization nuclear emission-line regions (LINERs), which exist in a large fraction of galaxies, may be the least luminous manifestation of quasar activity. The nature of LINERs has, however, remained controversial because an AGN-like…

To get insight in the nature of the ionized gas in the nuclear region of LINERs we have performed a study of HST Halpha imaging of 32 LINERs. The main conclusion from this analysis is that for the large majority of LINERs (84%) an…

Quasar outflows may play important role in the evolution of its host galaxy and central black hole. In this paper, we present a detailed study of multiple outflows in the obscured ultra-luminous infrared quasar Q1321+058. The outflows…

We present the first spectroscopic observations in the interval 0.8-4.0 microns, complemented with HST/UV and optical spectroscopy, of the narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk766. The NIR spectrum is characterized by permitted lines of HI, HeI,…

The search for deuterium Balmer lines with VLT-UVES is reported in HII regions of the Galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds. The DI lines appear as faint, narrow emission features in the blue wings of the HI Balmer lines and can be distinguished…

Low mass, low metallicity galaxies at low to moderate ($z\lesssim3$) redshifts offer the best opportunity for detailed examination of the interplay between massive stars, ionizing radiation and gas in sources similar to those that likely…

We observed the Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk817 during an intensive multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign for 16 months. Here, we examine the behavior of narrow UV absorption lines seen in HST/COS spectra, both during the campaign and in…

We present JADES JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of GN-z11, the most luminous candidate $z>10$ Lyman break galaxy in the GOODS-North field with $M_{UV}=-21.5$. We derive a redshift of $z=10.603$ (lower than previous determinations) based on…

We present an investigation on escape fractions of UV photons from a unique sample of lensed low-mass emission line selected galaxies at z < 3.5 found in the SHARDS Hubble Frontier Fields medium-band survey. We have used this deep imaging…

We present an analysis of the galaxy environment and physical properties of a partial Lyman limit system at z = 0.83718 with HI and metal line components closely separated in redshift space ($|\Delta v| \approx 400$ km/s) towards the…

The circumnuclear region of M31, consisting of multiphase interstellar medium, provides a close-up view of the interaction of the central supermassive black hole and surrounding materials. Far-infrared (FIR) line structure lines and their…

We have discovered 12 new molecular hydrogen emission-line objects (MHOs) in the vicinity of the candidate massive young stellar object Mol 121, in addition to five that were previously known. H2 2.12-micron/H2 2.25-micron flux ratios…
