Despite extensive surveys of extragalactic TeV gamma-ray candidates only 3 sources have so far been detected. All three are northern hemisphere objects and all three are low-redshift X-ray selected BL Lacs (XBLs). In this paper we present…

We searched high resolution spectra of 5600 nearby stars for emission lines that are both inconsistent with a natural origin and unresolved spatially, as would be expected from extraterrestrial optical lasers. The spectra were obtained with…

To confirm, or rule out, the possible hot spot nature of two previously detected radio sources in the vicinity of the Cygnus X-3 microquasar. We present the results of a radio and near infrared exploration of the several arc-minute field…

We have detected an emission line feature at 4 keV in the X-ray emission from a sky region including the distant radio galaxy 3C220.1(z=0.62) obtained with ASCA. The line energy is 6.1 - 7.0 keV (90% confidence) in the rest frame of…

We present the observations of the gravitationally lensed system QSO 2237+0305 performed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory on 2000 Sept. 6, and on 2001 Dec. 8 for 30.3 ks and 9.5 ks, respectively. Imaging analysis resolves the four X-ray…

We present preliminary results from a novel search for X-ray Line Emitting Objects (XLEOs) in XMM-Newton images. Three sources have been detected in a test-run analysis of 13 XMM-Newton observations. The three objects found are most likely…

We report the results from a deep ROSAT PSPC observation of LINER galaxy NGC 4736. Two bright sources are detected, separated by only about 1', with the brighter one coinciding with the center of the galaxy. Neither source shows apparent…

In this paper we investigate the power spectrum of the unresolved 0.5-2 keV CXB with deep Chandra 4 Ms observations in the CDFS. We measured a signal which, on scales >30", is significantly higher than the Shot-Noise and is increasing with…

The lack of variability of the broad iron line seen in the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15 is studied using the EPIC pn data obtained from a 2001 observation of 325 ks, during which the count rate from the source varied by a factor of 5. The…

Recently an unidentified emission line at 3.55 keV has been detected in X-ray spectra of clusters of galaxies. The line has been discussed as a possible decay signature of 7.1 keV sterile neutrinos, which have been proposed as a dark matter…

Following the presentation of the XMM-LSS X-ray source detection package by Pacaud et al., we provide the source lists for the first 5.5 surveyed square degrees. The catalogues pertain to the [0.5-2] and [2-10] keV bands and contain in…

We describe a new approach to studying the intergalactic and circumgalactic medium in the local Universe: direct detection through narrow-band imaging of ultra-low surface brightness visible-wavelength line emission. We use the…

We use published mid-IR and V-band flux ratios for images A and B of Q2237+0305 to demonstrate that the size of the mid-IR emission region has a scale comparable to or larger than the microlens Einstein Radius (ER, ~10^17 cm for solar mass…

In order to study the nature of the far-infrared emission observed in radio-loud active galaxies, we have obtained 1.2 mm observations with the IRAM 30 m telescope for a sample of eight radio-loud active galaxies. In all objects we find…

We present the preliminary results of a survey that makes use of several deep exposures obtained with the X-Ray telescopes of the BeppoSAX satellite. The survey limiting sensitivity is 5 x 10^-14 cgs in the 2-10 keV band and 7 x 10^-14 cgs…

Our earlier put forward model of dark matter, consisting of cm-size pearls with ordinary matter inside under high pressure and with a mass of order $1.4 *10^8$ kg, is used to explain the mysterious 3.5 keV X-ray line from the galactic…

The XMM-Newton Slew Survey (XSS) covers a significant fraction of the sky in a broad X-ray bandpass. Although shallow by contemporary standards, in the `classical' 2-10 keV band of X-ray astronomy, the XSS provides significantly better…

The Milky Way is surrounded by large amounts of hot gas at temperatures T>10^6 K, which represents a major baryon reservoir. We here explore the prospects of studying the hot coronal gas in Milky Way halo by analyzing the highly forbidden…

We evaluate the emission that must arise due to reflection of the putative collimated X-ray radiation of SS 433 by atomic gas and molecular clouds in the Galactic plane and compare the predicted signal with existing RXTE and ASCA data for…

It is currently unknown whether the Universe was reionized by quasars or stars at z>5. We point out that quasars can be best distinguished from stellar systems by their X-ray emission. Based on a simple hierarchical CDM model, we predict…
