چکیده
We discuss the origin of the " dusty lukewarm absorber " , which we previously identified in the reddened Seyfert 1 galaxies NGC 3227 and Akn 564. This absorber is characterized by saturated UV absorption lines (C IV, N V) near the systemic velocity of the host galaxy, and is likely responsible for reddening both the continuum and the emission lines (including those from the narrow-line region) from these Seyferts. From a large sample of Seyfert 1 galaxies, we find that continuum reddening (as measured by UV color) tends to increase with inclination of the host galaxy. Furthermore, reddened, inclined Seyfert galaxies observed at moderate to high spectral resolution all show evidence for dusty lukewarm absorbers. We suggest that these absorbers lie in the plane of the host galaxy at distances > ∼ 100 pc from the nucleus, and are physically distinct from the majority of intrinsic absorbers that are outflowing from the nucleus.

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

We report on BeppoSAX broad band (0.1-100 keV) observations of bright Seyfert 2 galaxies and discuss the results in the framework of the unified theory of AGNs. The data are used to probe N H distribution in type 2 objects and to identify heavily absorbed (10 24 ≤ N H ≤ 10 25 cm −2) sources, which are particularly bright in hard X-rays. They also provide, for the first time, high energy spectra...

We present the detection of a filament of Lyα emitting galaxies in front of the quasar Q1205-30 at z=3.04 based on deep narrow band imaging and follow-up spectroscopy obtained at the ESO NTT and VLT. We argue that Lyα selection of high redshift galaxies with relatively modest amounts of observing time allows the detection and redshift measurement of galaxies with sufficiently high space densiti...
