The emission line luminosity function of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is measured from about 3000 AGN included in the main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey within a redshift range of $0<z<0.15$. The $\Ha$ and [OIII]$\lambda…
We present a Bayesian approach to the redshift classification of emission-line galaxies when only a single emission line is detected spectroscopically. We consider the case of surveys for high-redshift Lyman-alpha-emitting galaxies (LAEs),…
We measure the Eddington ratio distribution of local optical narrow-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) as a function of host galaxy properties, as a potential test of galaxy formation theories of AGN feedback. We extract central…

We analyze UV spectra for a large sample of 578 Type 1 AGNs and derive Eddington ratios, L/Ledd, from the bolometric luminosities and emission line widths for each object in the sample. The sample spans 5 orders of magnitude in supermassive…
The Hobby-Eberly Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is an untargeted ~540 deg^2 spectroscopic survey of Ly{\alpha} emission in the 1.9 < z < 3.5 Universe. In surface brightness, this survey reaches 1{\sigma} Ly{\alpha} sensitivities of…
We selected 27244 nearby, red, giant early-type galaxies (RGEs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In a large fraction (53%) of their spectra the [O III] emission line is detected, with an equivalent width (EW) distribution strongly…
It is known that the blazar jet emissions are dominated by non-thermal radiation while the accretion disk jets are normally dominated by thermal emission. In this work, our aim is to study the connection between the two types of emission by…

We analysed 337 multi-epoch optical spectra of 38 Herbig Ae/Be (HAeBe) stars to gain insights into the variability behaviour of the circumstellar (CS) atomic gas. Equivalent widths (EWs) and line fluxes of the Halpha, [OI]6300, HeI5876 and…
We suggest that the Baldwin Effect is a result of the spectral dependence of the line-driving ionizing continuum on the black hole mass. We derive a relationship between the mass of the central black hole and the broad emission line…
From a parent catalog of 561 changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs) identified by Guo et al. (2025), we investigate the evolutionary sequence of broad emission lines using a redshift-selected subset (0.35 < z < 0.45) of 54 CL-AGNs…
