In recent years large efforts have been made to detect molecular gas towards high redshifted objects. Up to now the literature reports on only two cases of CO-detection in quasars at a redshift between 1 and 2 - Q0957+561, a gravitationally…

We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 7217, obtained with the IRAM interferometer, at 3" and 1.5" resolution respectively. The nuclear ring (at r=12"=0.8kpc) is predominant in the CO maps, with a remarkable surface…

We present Herschel observations of far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure (FS) lines [CII]158$\mu$m, [OI]63$\mu$m, [OIII]52$\mu$m, and [SiII]35$\mu$m in the z=2.56 Cloverleaf quasar, and combine them with published data in an analysis of the…

Archival HST/NICMOS-2 images of the Cloverleaf gravitational lens (H1413+117), a quadruply imaged quasar, have been analysed with a new method derived from the MCS deconvolution algorithm (Magain et al., 1998). This method is based on an…

We report the first detection of hydrogen fluoride (HF) toward a high redshift quasar. Using the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory (CSO) we detect the HF J = 1 - 0 transition in absorption toward the Cloverleaf, a broad absorption line…

We have detected CO(3-2) line emission from the gravitationally lensed quasar MG 0414+0534 at redshift 2.64, using the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer. The line is broad, with Delta v_FWHM = 580 km/s. The velocity-integrated CO flux is…

We present results from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the low-ionization broad absorption line (LoBAL) quasar H 1413+117. Our spatial and spectral analysis of a recent deep Chandra observation confirms a microlensing event in a…

We present moderate (1'') and high resolution (0.2'') observations of the CO(2-1) emission at 43 GHz, and radio continuum emission at 1.47 GHz, from the z=4.7 QSO BRI 1202-0725 and the z=4.4 QSO BRI 1335--0417 using the Very Large Array.…

Odd radio circles (ORCs) are a newly discovered class of extended faint radio sources of unknown origin. We report the first detection of diffuse X-ray gas at the location of a low-redshift ORC (z=0.046) known as Cloverleaf ORC. This…

Since the radiation from different portions in the central region of a quasar can be successively amplified during a microlensing event, microlensing light curves provide us with fruitful information regarding the emissivity distribution of…

We present ALMA observations of the CO(1-0) line and 3-mm continuum emission in eight ultraluminous infrared (IR) quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) at z = 0.06-0.19. All eight IR QSO hosts are clearly resolved in their CO molecular gas emission…

We describe results from a survey for J=3-2 12CO emission from visible stars with an infrared excess. The line is clearly detected in 21 objects, with molecular gas (>10^-3 Jupiter masses) common in targets with infrared excesses >0.01…

New observations with the IRAM interferometer of CO(3--2) from the highly luminous galaxy IRAS F10214+4724 show the source is 1.5'' x <= 0.9'' ; they display no evidence of any velocity gradient. This size, together with optical and IR data…

We present deep observations of CO(3-2) from the Cloverleaf lensed quasar-starburst at $z=2.56$. We discover a 4-5 times less massive companion at a projected distance of 33 kpc from the Cloverleaf host galaxy. The galaxies are connected by…

We present the first detection of 12 CO J=2->1 and 12 CO J=1->0 emission from the LBV AG Carinae. AG Carinae resides in a region which is very rich in molecular gas with complex motions. We find evidence of a slow outflow of molecular gas,…

We present interferometric observations of CO J=1-0 emission in the central regions of the edge-on galaxy NGC 4631, known for its extended gaseous halo and its tidal interactions. Previous single-dish observations revealed that almost all…

We present the X-ray energy spectrum of the lensed BAL QSO H1413+117 (the Cloverleaf) at z=2.56 observed with the Chandra X-ray observatory. We detected 293 photons in a 40 ks Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-S) observation. The…

We present results from our SMA observations and data analyses of the SMA archival data of the Class I protostar IRAS 04169+2702. The high-resolution (~0.5") $^{13}$CO (3-2) image cube shows a compact ($r$ ~< 100 au) structure with a…

Circumbinary disks have been hypothesized to exist around a number of binary post-AGB stars. Although most of the circumbinary disks have been inferred through the near IR excess, a few of them are strong emitters of molecular emission.…

We present the results of a CO survey of gravitationally lensed quasars, conducted with the Plateau de Bure Interferometer over the last three years. Among the 18 objects surveyed, one was detected in CO line emission, while six were…
