In the last decade, observations have accumulated on gas outflows in galaxies, and in particular massive molecular ones. The mass outflow rate is estimated between 1-5 times the star formation rate. For the highest maximal velocities, they…
The contributions that BeppoSAX is expected to give and, after one and a half year of operation, has already given to our knowledge of both type 1 and type 2 Seyfert galaxies are outlined and reviewed.
While observations in the radio band are providing essential information on the innermost structures of relativistic jets in active galactic nuclei (AGN), the recent detection by Fermi of gamma-ray emission from many hundreds of blazars…
Data from the first run of the BaBar detector at the PEP II accelerator are presented. Measurements of many rare B decay modes are now possible using the large data sets currently being collected by BaBar. An overview of analysis techniques…
The unification of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a model that has been difficult to test due to the lack of knowledge on the intrinsic luminosities of the objects. We present a test were we probe the model by statistical investigation of…
This paper introduces the articles that describe detailed aspects of the XMM-Newton calibration. The unique calibration issues of XMM-Newton are highlighted. The original calibration requirements and aspects of the ground calibration are…
The participants in this meeting are almost all carrying out the hard work of making many different types of AGN surveys. Since it's so much easier to criticize other people's work than to do actual work myself, I'll just present some…
To find the spectral properties of AGNs in optical spectral band (around the Hb line) we constructed an Fe II template, that is covering Fe II emission from 4100 A to 5600 A. Using the new Fe II template we explored spectral properties of…
This is the first paper of a series exploring the multi-frequency properties of a sample of eleven nearby low excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) in the southern sky. We are conducting an extensive study of different galaxy components (stars,…
The model I recently proposed for the structure of quasars (astro-ph/0008064) claims to unify all the emission, absorption and reflection phenomenology of quasars and AGN, and so is heavily overconstrained and readily tested. Here I…
Some recent results of the ANTARES neutrino telescope are reviewed.
It is widely accepted that the Doppler deboosting effects exist in counter relativistic jets. However, people often neglect another important fact that both Doppler boosting and deboosting effects could happen in forward relativistic jets.…
The 9-month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog provides the first unbiased (log N_H < 24) look at local (<z> = 0.03) AGN. In this paper, we present the collected X-ray properties (0.3 - 12keV) for the 153 AGN detected. In addition,…
The hadroproduction experiments HARP, MIPP and NA61 (SHINE) as well as their implications for neutrino physics are discussed. HARP measurements have already been used for precise predictions of neutrino beams in K2K and MiniBooNE/SciBooNE…
We present a first attempt to derive the cosmological evolution of the kinetic luminosity function of AGN based on the joint evolution of the flat spectrum radio and hard X-ray selected AGN luminosity functions. An empirical correlation…
Two key results are presented in this paper. First, equipartition Doppler factors have been estimated for a sample of 105 sources with previously estimated inverse Compton Doppler factors. The different categories of active galactic nuclei…
Observational studies of AGN in the mid-infrared regime are crucial to our understanding of AGN and their role in the evolution of galaxies. Mid-IR-based selection of AGN is complementary to more traditional techniques allowing for a more…
This paper presents an adaptive autopilot for fixed-wing aircraft and compares its performance with a fixed-gain autopilot. The adaptive autopilot is constructed by augmenting the autopilot architecture with adaptive control laws that are…
Observations of X-ray cavities formed by powerful jets from AGN in galaxy cluster cores are widely used to estimate the energy output of the AGN. Using methods commonly applied to observations of clusters, we conduct synthetic X-ray…
We present the current status and Monte Carlo study based performance estimates of b-jet tagging using ALICE, as obtained using both impact parameter as well as secondary vertex methods. We also address the prospects of the identification…
