We present a multi-facility study of the optical spectrum of the extragalactic globular cluster RZ2109, which hosts a bright black hole X-ray source. The optical spectrum of RZ2109 shows strong and very broad [O III]\lambda \lambda…
RZ2109 is the first of several extragalactic globular clusters shown to host an ultraluminous X-ray source. RZ2109 is particularly notable because optical spectroscopy shows it has broad, luminous [OIII] 4959,5007 emission, while also…
The globular cluster ultraluminous X-ray source, RZ2109, is a complex and unique system which has been detected at X-ray, ultra-violet, and optical wavelengths. Based on almost 20 years of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, the X-ray…
We present optical HST/STIS spectroscopy of RZ 2109, a globular cluster in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. This globular cluster is notable for hosting an ultraluminous X-ray source as well as associated strong and broad [OIII] 4959, 5007…
We consider an accretion-disc origin for the broad and luminous forbidden-line emission observed in ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources CXOJ033831.8-352604 and XMMU 122939.7+075333 in globular clusters hosted by elliptical galaxies NGC 1399…
We present the results of long-term monitoring of the X-ray emission from the ultraluminous X-ray source XMMUJ122939.9+075333 in the extragalactic globular cluster RZ2109. The combination of the high X-ray luminosity, short term X-ray…
We present Keck LRIS spectroscopy of the black hole-hosting globular cluster RZ2109 in the Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. We find that this object has extraordinarily broad [OIII]5007 and [OIII]4959 emission lines, with velocity widths…
[Abridged] We investigate the physical properties of a Lyman continuum emitter candidate at $z=3.212$ with photometric coverage from $U$ to MIPS 24$\mu$m band and VIMOS/VLT and MOSFIRE/Keck spectroscopy. Investigation of the UV spectrum…
The globular cluster X-ray source CXO J033831.8-352604 in NGC 1399 has recently been found to show strong emission lines of [O III] and [N II] in its optical spectrum in addition to ultraluminous X-ray emission with a soft X-ray spectrum.…
We present an analysis of optical spectra from the globular cluster RZ2109 in NGC4472, which hosts the first unambiguous globular cluster black hole. We use these spectra to determine the elemental composition of the emission line system…
Determining reliable distances to classical novae is a challenging but crucial step in deriving their ejected masses and explosion energetics. Here we combine radio expansion measurements from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array with…
Deep spectroscopic observations of z~6.5 galaxies have revealed a marked decline with increasing redshift in the detectability of Lyman-alpha emission. While this may offer valuable insight into the end of the reionisation process, it…
We present VLT-SINFONI near infra-red spectra of 26 new heavily reddened quasar candidates selected from the UKIDSS-LAS, VISTA VHS and VIKING imaging surveys. This new sample extends our reddened quasar search to both brighter and fainter…
The discovery of a broad, $\sim$1.5$^{\circ}$ long filamentary [OIII] 5007 emission $\sim$1.2$^{\circ}$ south-east of the M31 nucleus has recently been reported. More than 100 hours of exposures of a wide field (3.48$^{\circ} \times…
Although the existence of asymmetrical profile of [OIII]$\lambda$5007 has been discovered for ages, its filiation and physics are poorly understood. Two new spectra of I ZWI taken on Nov 16, 2001 and on Dec 3, 2002 were compared with the…
We present the discovery of [OIII] 5007 emission associated with the black hole X-ray binary recently identified in a globular cluster in the Virgo elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. This object is the first confirmed black-hole X-ray binary in a…
We report the discovery of a massive, X-ray-luminous cluster of galaxies at z=1.393, the most distant X-ray-selected cluster found to date. XMMU J2235.3-2557 was serendipitously detected as an extended X-ray source in an archival XMM-Newton…
The census of massive clusters of galaxies in the local Universe is almost complete, thanks to their prominent observational signatures at X-ray, optical, and sub-mm wavelengths. Nevertheless, a number of such systems are likely to be…
We present the first light curve analysis of Population II novae that appeared in M31 globular clusters. Our light curve models, based on the optically thick wind theory, reproduce well both the X-ray turn-on and turnoff times with the…
X-ray emission from the distant lensing cluster CL2236-04 at $z$ = 0.552 was discovered by ASCA and ROSAT/HRI observations. If the spherical symmetric mass distribution model of the cluster is assumed, the lensing estimate of the cluster…
