A systematic survey measuring the submillimetre continuum luminosity in radio galaxies between redshifts z ~ 0.1 - 5 is currently in progress. The first results from observations with the bolometer array SCUBA on the JCMT suggest a trend of…
We present an analysis of the X-ray variability properties of the NLS1 galaxy Ton S180, based upon a 12-day continuous ASCA observation. We observe flux variations of a factor of 3.5 in the 0.7-1.3 keV band and 3.9 in the 2-10 keV…
The B0.5IVe star gam Cas is of great interest because it is the prototype of a small group of classical Be stars having hard X-ray emission of unknown origin. We discuss results from ongoing B and V observations of the gam Cas star-disk…
Recently, the GeV--sub-PeV spectrum of supernova remnant (SNR) Cassiopeia A (Cas A), one of the youngest and most well-studied SNRs in our Galaxy, has been updated by observations of Fermi-LAT and LHAASO. We revisit Cas A with our previous…
Recent SECCHI COR2 observations on board STEREO-A spacecraft have detected density structures at a distance of 2.5--15~R propagating with periodicity of about 90~minutes. The observations show that the density structures probably formed in…
Based on the results of our previous study of the broad band synchrotron emission of Cas A in the framework of a spatial inhomogeneous model, we calculate the fluxes of gamma-radiation that can be expected from this supernova remnant in…
Broadband optical and narrowband Si XIII X-ray images of the young Galactic supernova remnant Cas A obtained over several decades are used to investigate spatial and temporal correlations on both large and small scales. The data consist of…
We report observations and analysis of flux monitoring of Sagittarius A* at 3-mm wavelength using the OVRO millimeter interferometer over a period of eight days (2002 May 23-30). Frequent phase and flux referencing (every 5 minutes) with…
We have observed a number of minor radio flares in Cyg X-3 using the MERLIN array. Photometric observations show the system to be highly active with multiple flares on hourly timescales over the one month observing programme. Analysis of…
A large radio outburst from Sgr A* was observed during the VLA weekly monitoring program at 2 cm, 1.3 cm and 7 mm, nearly coincident with the brightest X-ray flare detected to date with the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory on 2002-10-03. The…
A number of ultracompact H II regions in Galactic star forming environments have been observed to vary significantly in radio flux density on timescales of 10-20 years. Theory predicted that such variations should occur when the accretion…
The narrow [O III] 4959, 5007 emission-line fluxes in the spectrum of the well-studied Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 are shown to vary with time. From this we show that the narrow line-emitting region has a radius of only 1-3 pc and is denser…
We report on a $\sim 5\sigma$ detection of polarized 3-6 keV X-ray emission from the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The overall polarization degree of $1.8 \pm 0.3$% is detected by summing…
Carbon Radio Recombination Lines trace the interface between molecular and atomic gas. We present GMRT observations of Carbon Radio Recombination Lines (CRRL), C$\alpha$244-C$\alpha$250 towards Cassiopeia A. We use a novel technique of…
We take a sample of 94 ultraluminous, optical quasars from the search of over 14,486 deg^2 by Onken et al. 2022 in the range 4.4<redshift<5.2 and match them against the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey (RACS) observed on the Australian Square…
The compact radio source at the center of our Galaxy, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is the subject of intensive study as it provides a close-up view of an accreting supermassive black hole. Sgr A* provides us with a prototype of a low-luminosity…
Radio activity has been observed in a large variety of stellar objects, including in the last few years, ultra-cool dwarfs. To explore the extent of long-term radio activity in ultra-cool dwarfs, we use data taken over an extended period of…
Aims. We investigate the long-term evolution of the Cyclotron Resonance Scattering Feature (CRSF) in the spectrum of the binary X-ray pulsar Her X-1 and present evidence of a true long-term decrease in the centroid energy Ecyc of the…
Long-term monitoring of PSR J2021+4026 in the heart of the Cygnus region with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) unveiled a sudden decrease in flux above 100 MeV over a time scale shorter than a week. The "jump" was near MJD 55850 (2011…
We present the analysis of 4.5 years of nearly continuous observations of the classical Cepheid Polaris, which comprise the most precise data available for this star. We have made spectroscopic measurements from ground and photometric…
