A strong effort has been devoted to understand the physical origin of radio emission from low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN), but a comprehensive picture is still missing. We used high-resolution ($\le$1 arcsec), multi-frequency (1.5, 5.5, 9 and 14…

Surveys above 10 keV represent one of the the best resources to provide an unbiased census of the population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We present the results of 60 months of observation of the hard X-ray sky with Swift/BAT. In this…

Analysis of INTEGRAL Core Program and public Open Time observations performed up to April 2005 provides a sample of 62 active galactic nuclei in the 20-100 keV band above a flux limit of ~1.5x10^-11 erg/cm2/s. Most(42) of the sources in the…

A sample of X-ray and optically selected narrow emission-line galaxies (769 sources) from the 3XMM catalogue cross-correlated with SDSS (DR9) catalogue has been studied. Narrow-emission line active galactic nuclei (AGN; type-2) have been…

Previous surveys of outflows in low-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGN) have relied on the analysis of sources selected primarily for their optical/X-ray brightness, and are therefore biased. Towards determining the outflow properties of…

Recently, a large number of compact sources at $z > 4$ with blue UV slopes and extremely red rest-frame optical slopes have been found in James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) extragalactic surveys. As a subsample of these sources, commonly…

Radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) with their jets pointed close to our line of sight constitute the majority of extragalactic $\gamma$-ray sources and significantly contribute to the radiation observed in the even higher energy…

X-ray selected BL Lac objects dominate the population of extragalactic sources detected in the very high energy (VHE; photon energies >100GeV) gamma-ray regime with ground-based Cherenkov Telescopes. These are not the only extragalactic VHE…

We present ASCA GIS observations (total exposure 100-200 ksec) of three fields which form part of our deep ROSAT survey. We detect 26 sources down to a limiting flux (2-10 keV) of 5x10^{-14} erg cm-2 s-1. Sources down to this flux level…

We have employed a reliable technique of classification of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) based on the fit of well-sampled spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with a complete set of AGN and starburst galaxy templates. We have compiled…

In order to study systematically the soft X-ray emission of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) at medium to high redshifts, we have analyzed ROSAT PSPC and HRI data of QSOs at 0.26<z<3.43 selected from the second deepest ROSAT PSPC survey…

We report results of a serendipitous hard X-ray (3--20 keV), nearly all-sky (|b|>10deg) survey based on RXTE/PCA observations performed during satellite reorientations in 1996--2002. The survey is 80% (90%) complete to a 4$\sigma$ limiting…

We present high angular resolution radio snap-shot observations of seven nearby low-luminosity active galaxies (LLAGN) from the NUclei of GAlaxies (NUGA) survey. The observations were conducted with MERLIN and EVN/VLBI at 18cm and 6cm. At…

We report the discovery of six active galactic nuclei (AGN) caught "turning on" during the first nine months of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) survey. The host galaxies were classified as LINERs by weak narrow forbidden line emission…

We have identified the ROSAT source RX J0039.2-5117 with the previously almost unknown `narrow line' Seyfert 1 galaxy WPVS007 (z=0.028). The X-ray source displays quite unusual properties for an AGN. It was bright and ultrasoft in the ROSAT…
