نویسنده
چکیده
Since the last meeting on BL Lac objects 10 years ago, BL Lac host galaxies and their cluster environment have gained much attention. Hence, our current knowledge of the properties of BL Lac host galaxies and their cluster environment has improved considerably, which will be reviewed. The importance of future observing programs using (very) large telescopes is briefly outlined.

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT In this paper: 1. The assumption of the dependence of Doppler factor on the emission frequency (δ ν ≈ δ 1+ 1 8 log ν νo O , Fan et al. 1993) is used to explain the observational differences between the radio-selected BL Lac objects(RBLs) and the X-Ray-Selected BL Lac objects (XBLs): a) Hubble relation; b) different multiwavelength correlations; c) different re...

Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC-2 I-band (F814W) images of three X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (MS 1221.8+2452, MS 1407.9+5954, & MS 2143.4+0704) reveal that each of these BL Lac objects is well centered in an extended nebulosity that is consistent in brightness and morphology with being light from an elliptical galaxy at the previously reported redshifts of these BL Lac objects. Each of...

We report on the status of large surveys of photometrically selected star forming galaxies at z ∼ 3 and z ∼ 4, with particular emphasis on both the advantages and the limitations of selecting objects using the “Lyman break” technique. Current results on the luminosity functions, luminosity densities, color distribution, star formation rates, clustering properties, and the differential evolution...
متن کاملThe black hole mass of BL Lac objects from the stellar velocity dispersion of the host galaxy
The black hole mass of BL Lac objects from the stellar velocity dispersion of the host galaxy ABSTRACT The correlation between black hole mass M BH and stellar velocity dispersion σ in nearby elliptical galaxies affords a novel way to determine M BH in active galaxies. We report on measurements of σ from optical spectra of 7 BL Lac host galaxies. The derived values of σ are in the range of 160 ...

We present analysis of a new flux limited sample of 72 X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects with known redshifts for 59 of them. We find the more X-ray dominated BL Lac having negative evolution with redshift, while intermediate objects show no evolution at all. X-ray dominated objects show higher X-ray luminosities and flatter X-ray spectra than the intermediate ones. We were also able to determ...
