چکیده

We have discovered a very radio-loud Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 candidate: PKS 2004-447. This Seyfert is consistent with the formal definition for NLS1s, although it does not have quite the same spectral features as some typical members of this subclass. Only ROSAT survey data is available at X-ray wavelengths, so it has not been possible to compare this source with other NLS1s at these wavelengths. A full comparison of this source with other members of the subclass will improve our physical understanding of NLS1s. In addition, using standard calculations, we estimate the central black hole to have a mass of ∼ 5 × 10 6 M ⊙. This does not agree with predictions in the literature, that radio-loud AGN host very massive black holes.

Deshpande & Rankin (1999, 2001) claim that the frequency of the very narrow feature, in the spectrum of radio flux variations of PSR B0943+10, is an alias of its actual value. They also claim to have detected an amplitude modulation on the above phase modulation. This paper argues that both these claims are unjustified.

We investigate the relation between the characteristics of the circumnuclear stellar population and both the galaxy morphology and the presence of close companions for a sample of 35 Seyfert 2 nuclei. Fifteen galaxies present unambiguous signatures of recent episodes of star formation within ≈300 pc from the Jansky Fellow Gemini Fellow

Active Galactic Nuclei are powered by accretion onto massive black holes. Although radio-quiet objects are not as spectacular sources of very high energy photons as radio-loud ones this class of objects also represents a challenge for modeling high energy processes close to a black hole. Both a hot optically thin plasma and a cooler optically thick accretion disk are usually thought to be prese...

We observed three AGN from the Parkes Half-Jansky Flat-spectrum Sample at nearinfrared (NIR) wavelengths to search for micro-variability. In one source, the blue quasar PKS 2243−123, good evidence for NIR micro-variability was found. In the other two sources, PKS 2240−260 and PKS 2233−148, both BL Lacertae objects, no such evidence of variability was detected. We discuss the implications of the...
