Unlike at lower redshift, where there is a 40% detection rate, surveys for 21-cm absorption arising within the hosts of z 1 radio galaxies and quasars have been remarkably unsuccessful. ... In order to find this "missing" gas at high redshift, we have therefore undertaken a survey of z 2 radio sources, selected by optical faintness. ... The possibility that the other five could be located at lower photon rates cannot be ruled out, although zero detections out of five is not statistically significant. ...

... Seminar archive . ... The structure of the X-ray sources in the hard spectral state of accreting black-hole binaries has been a subject of intense debate. The paradigm dominant for many years postulated that the accretion disc in the hard state is truncated at some radius >> the innermost stable orbit (ISCO) whereas the disc reaches the ISCO in the soft state. ... On the other hand, there have been numerous claims in recent years that the disc extends to the ISCO in the hard state. ...

. The view shows a composite of data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue) and the Hubble Space Telescope. The bright objects in the center of the image are young, massive stars around M33 X-7, and the bright, blue Chandra source is M33 X-7 itself. X-rays from Chandra reveals how long the black hole is eclipsed by the companion star, which indicates the size of the companion. NASA/CXC/CfA/P.Plucinsky et al.
