The ~1 Ms Chandra Deep Field North observation is used to study the extended X-ray sources in the region surrounding the Hubble Deep Field North (HDF-N), yielding the most sensitive probe of extended X-ray emission at cosmological distances…

We report the Chandra detection of an X-ray jet in 3C 15. The peak of the X-ray emission in the jet is 4.1'' (a projected distance of 5.1 kpc) from the nucleus, and coincident with a component previously identified in the radio and optical…

We have discovered extended Lyman-$\alpha$ emission around a $z=4.5$ QSO in a deep long-slit spectrum with Keck/LRIS at moderate spectral resolution ($R\approx 1000$). The line emission extends 5\,arcsec beyond the continuum of the QSO and…

A deep 75 ks {\it Chandra} ACIS--I data of NGC 2024 was analyzed, aiming at a search for diffuse X-ray emission in this one of the most nearby (415 pc) massive star-forming regions. After removing point sources, an extended emission was…

We have used a deep Chandra observation of the central regions of the twin-jet FRI radio galaxy 3C31 to resolve the thermal X-ray emission in the central few kiloparsecs of the host galaxy, NGC 383, where the jets are thought to be…
