We present VIMOS integral field spectroscopic observations of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) pair IRAS 19254-7245 (the Superantennae). We resolve H alpha, [N II], [O I], and [S II] emission both spatially and spectroscopically…
We report results from the simultaneous XRISM (183 ks) and NuSTAR (62 ks) observations of the Seyfert-2 galaxy NGC 4388. This AGN has the brightest Fe K$\alpha$ line among Compton-thin, obscured sources. To model the reflection continuum…
We have used the ROSAT Bright Source Catalogue to extract a complete sample of sources selected in the band from 0.1-0.4 keV. This 1/4 keV-selected sample is comprised of 54 Seyfert galaxies, 25 BL Lacertae objects, 4 clusters and 27…
Narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies constitute a class of active galactic nuclei characterized by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the H$\beta$ broad emission line < 2000 km/s and the flux ratio of [O III] to H$\beta$ < 3. Their…
We obtained far-ultraviolet spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 7469 using the FUSE on 1999 December 6. Our spectra cover the wavelength range 990-1187 A with a resolution of 0.05 A. We see broad emission lines of CIII, NIII, OVI, and HeII…
We use new near-infrared spectroscopy and our published optical spectroscopy of the gravitationally-lensed Seyfert-2 galaxy F10214+4724 to study both the links between the starburst and AGN in this object and the properties of the inner…
Based on a new spectroscopic sample observed using the WHT, we examine the kinematic properties of the various emission line regions in narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) by modelling their profiles using multiple component fits. We…
We explore the origin of the strong soft X-ray excess in Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies using spectral-timing information from a 120ks {\it XMM-Newton} observation of PG 1244+026. Spectral fitting alone cannot distinguish between a true…
SDSS J163401.94$+$480940.2 is a non-jetted radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxy. Optical monitoring of this object was carried out in two intra-night sessions each $\geq$ 3 hrs with 3.6m DOT. Intra-night optical variability…
We present X-ray observations of the Hyperluminous Infrared Galaxy (HLIRG) IRAS 00182--7112 (F00183--7111) obtained using the XMM-Newton EPIC camera. A luminous hard X-ray source co-incident with the nucleus is revealed, along with weaker…
The bright Seyfert 1 galaxy H1419+480 (z~0.072), whose X-ray colours from earlier HEAO-1 and ROSAT missions suggested a complex X-ray spectrum, has been observed with XMM-Newton. The EPIC spectrum above 2 keV is well fit by a power-law with…
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies are a peculiar class of type 1 AGN (BLSy1). The X-ray properties of individual objects belonging to this class are often extreme and associated with accretion at high Eddington ratios. Here we present…
We report on AGN with extremely soft X-ray spectra observed with ROSAT. From their optical emission lines these objects are classified as narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1), almost all with extremely large Fe II/H-beta ratios and…
We analyse the X-ray time-lags in the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxy PG 1244+026 ($M_{\rm BH}\sim 10^7 M_{\rm sun}$, $L/L_{\rm Edd}\sim 1$). The time delay between the soft (0.3--0.7~keV) and harder (1.2--4.0~keV) variations shows…
We present echelle observations of the intrinsic UV absorption lines in the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151, which were obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the Hubble Space Telescope on 1999 July 19. The UV continuum…
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1) are very interesting objects which display peculiar properties when compared to their broad line analogues (BLS1). Although well studied in many wavebands, their behaviour at >10 keV is poorly studied…
We present an analysis of all the archival high resolution spectra of the Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk~335 obtained with Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on board \textit{XMM-Newton}. The spectra show rich emission and absorption…
We present results from a coordinated IR-to-X-ray spectral campaign of the QSO IRAS 13349+2438. Optical spectra reveal extreme Eigenvector-1 characteristics, but the H-beta line width argues against a NLS1 classification; we refine…
We report Fermi-LAT observations of the radio-loud AGN SBS 0846+513 (z=0.5835), optically classified as a Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy, together with new and archival radio-to-X-ray data. The source was not active at gamma-ray energies…
We have obtained a far-ultraviolet spectrum (1150 - 1600 Ang.) of a hot subdwarf star behind the remnant of SN 1006 with the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on the Hubble Space Telescope. The high-quality spectrum is used to test previous…
