As one of the most luminous radio-loud quasars showing intrinsic ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray absorption, 3C 351 provides a laboratory for studying the kinematics and physical conditions of such ionized absorbers. We present an analysis of…

Results of a careful analysis of the highly ionized absorption systems, observed over the redshift range 2.198--2.2215 in the zem=2.24 HDFS-QSO J2233-606, are presented. Strong OVI and NeVIII absorptions are detected. Most of the lines show…

We analyze intergalactic HI and OVI absorbers with v<5000 km/s in HST and FUSE spectra of 76 AGNs. The baryons traced by HI/OVI absorption are clearly associated with the extended surroundings of galaxies; for impact parameters <400 kpc…

We present a new, on-the-fly photon flux and absorption tracer algorithm designed to directly measure the contribution of different source populations to the metagalactic UV background and to the ionisation fraction of gas in the Universe.…

We present observational evidence that intense ionizing radiation from a luminous quasar suppresses nebular emission in nearby galaxies on intergalactic scales at $z=6.3$. Using JWST/NIRCam grism spectroscopy from the SAPPHIRES and EIGER…

We study the absorption along lines of sight toward high-z radio sources caused by the 21 cm transition of neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) before reionization. Using semi-analytic methods, we compute the number density of…

We have carried out spectroscopic observations of the high redshift ($z\approx 3.4$) radio galaxy 0902+34 at intermediate resolution with the William Herschel Telescope. The dynamical spectral ranges covered are 4600-5480 \AA and 5920-7680…

We present ionizing spectra estimated at 13.6--100 eV for ten dwarf galaxies with strong high ionization lines of He {\sc {ii}}$\lambda$4686 and [Ne {\sc{v}}]$\lambda$3426 ([Ne {\sc{iv}}]$\lambda$2424) at $z=0$ ($z=8$) that are identified…

We have initiated a survey of MgII 2796, 2803 absorbers near known galaxies at projected distances rho<~100 h^-1 kpc to a background QSO, in order to constrain the extent and covering fraction of Mg^+ ions around galaxies of different…

We present a measurement of the mean intensity of the hydrogen-ionizing background radiation field at low redshift using 906 Ly-alpha absorption lines in 151 quasar spectra from the archives of the Faint Object Spectrograph on the Hubble…

A computational procedure is presented to estimate the spectral shape of the ionizing background between 1 and 10 Ryd by analyzing optically thin absorption systems in the spectra of high redshift quasars. The procedure is based on the…

We use the photon flux and absorption tracer algorithm presented in Katz et al.~2018, to characterise the contribution of haloes of different mass and stars of different age and metallicity to the reionization of the Universe. We employ a…

Using Green Bank Telescope radio recombination line (RRL) data, we analyze the role of leaking radiation from HII regions in maintaining the ionization of the interstellar medium. We observed a sample of eight Galactic HII regions of…

We report a detection of an absorption line at ~44.8 {\AA} in a > 500 ks Chandra HRC-S/LETG X-ray grating spectrum of the blazar H 2356-309. This line can be identified as intervening CV-K{\alpha} absorption, at z\approx0.112, produced by a…

In preparation of a study of the HeII/HI ratio towards the bright QSO HS1700+6416, we predict the metal line content of the far-UV spectral range by modelling 18 metal absorption line systems with redshifts 0.2<z<2.6 identified in the…

We explore the impacts of ultraviolet (UV) radiation feedback on galaxies during the epoch of reionisation by cosmological simulations in which hydrodynamics and the transfer of the H and He ionising photons are consistently coupled.…

We use high-resolution UV spectra of the radio-quiet QSO H1821+643 (z_em = 0.297), obtained with STIS and FUSE, to study the ionization and metallicity of an intervening O VI absorption line system at z(abs) = 0.1212. This absorber has the…

We present an investigation of the properties of the extended Ly$\alpha$ halo and the large-scale \ion{H}{I} absorbing structures associated with 5 high-redshift radio galaxies at z $>$ 2, using the Goodman long-slit spectrograph on the…

Using long-slit optical spectra obtained with the 2-m telescope at IUCAA Girawali Observatory, we show that the radio source J094221.98+062335.2 (z=0.123) is associated with a galaxy pair undergoing a major merger. Its companion is a normal…

(Abridged) We use high S/N spectra of 20 HII regions in the giant spiral galaxy M101 to derive electron temperatures for the HII regions and robust metal abundances over radii R = 0.19-1.25 Ro (6-41 kpc). We compare the consistency of…
