Received 1999 November 5; accepted 2000 February 10 Since radio sources with Ultra Steep Spectra (USS; alpha -35ddeg, we selected only sources with angular sizes Theta Comparison with spectrally unbiased samples at similar flux density levels, shows that our spectral index, flux density, and angular size selections do not affect the angular size distribution of the sample, but do avoid significant contributions by faint foreground spiral galaxies. ...

... Cosmic rays are extremely high-energy particles from far beyond our Solar System. They provide us with important samples of material from outer space. ... But now, using the remains of a star that died a thousand years ago, astronomers have found clues as to where exactly cosmic rays form. ... A glowing, expanding ring of material is all that is left. ... Astronomers believe they could go on to grow into cosmic rays by colliding with the material of the ring. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

Observations over the last decade indicate black-holes likely resided at the heart of most if not all galaxies. The correlation between the masses of these compact nuclear sources and their host galaxy is poorly understood and likely plays an important role in the formation and evolution, of at least the most massive systems, due to AGN feedback. ... I will give a brief summary of the reverberation mapping technique and describe the important role SkyMapper photometry can play in this program. ...

... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...
