We present imaging and spectro- polarimetric observations of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS P09104+4109 using the Keck 10-m Telescope. We detect the clear presence of broad Hb, Hg, and MgII 2800 emission lines in the polarized flux…

We present new observations of the odd $z=0.96$ weak-line quasar PG1407+265, and report the discovery of CXOU J140927.9+261813, a $z=0.68$ X-ray cluster. Archival X-ray photometry spanning nearly four decades reveals that PG1407+265 is…

We have obtained quasi-simultaneous ultraviolet-optical spectra for 22 out of 23 quasars in the complete PG-X-ray sample with redshift, z<0.4, and M_B<-23. The spectra cover rest-frame wavelengths from at least Lyman-alpha to H-alpha. Here…

We present new near-infrared (rest-frame UV-to-optical) spectra of the high redshift, gravitationally lensed quasar B 1422+231 (z=3.62). Diagnostic emission lines of FeII, [OIII]5007, and Hb, commonly used to determine the excitation,…

We present JHK near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy of 25 candidate Type II quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, using Triplespec on the Apache Point Observatory 3.5m telescope, FIRE at the Magellan/Baade 6.5m telescope, and…

Mid-infrared (MIR) quasar spectra exhibit a suite of emission features including high ionization coronal lines from the narrow line region illuminated by the ionizing continuum, broad dust bumps from silicates and graphites, and polycyclic…

We demonstrate a new technique for determining the physical conditions of the broad line emitting gas in quasars, using near-infrared hydrogen emission lines. Unlike higher ionisation species, hydrogen is an efficient line emitter for a…

The z=3.02 quasar SDSS J095253.83+011421.9 exhibits broad metal-line emission (CIV FWHM=9000 km/s), but broad Ly-alpha emission is not present. Instead, only a narrow Ly-alpha line is observed (FWHM=1140 km/s). The large CIV/Ly-alpha ratio…

IZw1 is the prototype narrow line quasar. This type of AGNs show a number of common peculiar characteristics whose physical origin is not yet well understood. Here, I review the results of a detailed study by Laor et al. (1997b) of the UV…

(abridged) We present and discuss our observations of the NL quasar PG1404+226 with ASCA and HST, and a re-analysis of our earlier observations with ROSAT. The soft X-ray spectrum is very steep and displays an absorption feature (edge or…

This paper presents new optical and near-UV spectra of 11 extremely powerful jetted quasars, with radio to optical flux density ratio $>$ 10$^3$, that concomitantly cover the low-ionization emission of \mgii\ and \hb\ as well as the \feii\…

The spectrum of the quasar Q0055-269 ($z=3.66$) has been observed at the resolution of 14 km s$^{-1}$ in the wavelength interval 4750--6300 \AA. We give a list of Lyman$-\alpha$ lines and metal-line systems for which column densities and…

We report on the analysis of a ~60 ksec XMM observation of the bright, narrow emission line quasar PG 1211+143. Absorption lines are seen in both EPIC and RGS spectra corresponding to H- and He-like ions of Fe, S, Mg, Ne, O, N and C. The…

BeppoSAX and ASCA observations of the nearby (z=0.184), high-luminosity, radio-quiet quasar PDS456 are presented. The X-ray spectrum is characterized by a prominent ionized edge at 8-9 keV (originally discovered by RXTE, Reeves et al. 2000)…

(abridged) Aims. To reconstruct the spectral shape of the quasar ionizing radiation in the extreme-UV range (1Ryd <= E < 10Ryd) from the analysis of narrow absorption lines (NAL) of the associated systems. Methods. Computational technique…

We present NuSTAR hard X-ray observations of two X-ray weak broad absorption line (BAL) quasars, PG 1004+130 (radio loud) and PG 1700+518 (radio quiet). Many BAL quasars appear X-ray weak, probably due to absorption by the shielding gas…

We report results from the spectral analysis of pointed ROSAT PSPC observations of six PG quasars and the weak-bump quasar PHL 1657. Disregarding other frequency bands, the PSPC data are represented best by simple power-law source spectra…

We present Chandra observations of nine high-redshift quasars (z=2.7-5.9) discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with weak or undetectable high-ionization emission lines in their UV spectra (WLQs). Adding archival X-ray observations of…

We report a dramatic variability event in the X-ray history of the Narrow-Line quasar PHL 1092 (z=0.396). Our latest 2008 XMM-Newton observation reveals a flux drop of ~200 with respect to the previous observation performed about 4.5 years…

We present near-infrared spectroscopy of the NLS1 galaxy PHL1092 (z=0.394), the strongest FeII emitter ever reported, combined with optical and UV data. We modeled the continuum and the broad emission lines using a power-law plus a black…
