Aims: We present an analysis of a galaxy (SAGE1CJ053634.78-722658.5) at a redshift of 0.14 of which the infrared (IR) emission is entirely dominated by emission associated with the active galactic nucleus. Methods: We present the 5-37 ЮМm Spitzer/IRS spectrum and broad wavelength spectral energy distribution (SED) of SAGE1CJ053634.78-722658.5, an IR point-source detected by Spitzer/SAGE. ...

Next: M.E. Bailey, Director Up: Research Previous: C.S. Jeffery, Research Astronomer Contents . Dr Michael Smith has focused mainly on the earliest stages of stellar evolution: the processes leading to star formation from an initially unstable, collapsing cloud of gas, and the energetic outflows -- jets and winds -- associated with the formation and early evolution of protostars and pre-main-sequence stellar objects. ... Spectacular jets of molecules, however, betray its presence. ...

... We present the first results of an extensive near infrared survey of galactic and OH masers in high--luminosity star forming regions (SFR) aimed to see if there are near--infrared (NIR) sources directly associated with the masers. ... Although not in all sources there are high sensitivity--high resolution radio continuum observations, only few of the K--band/maser sources are closely associated with known ultracompact (UC) Hii regions. ...

... We use the first XMM serendipitous source catalogue (1XMM) to compile a sample of normal X-ray galaxies . ... We combine our emission line sample with earlier works forming the most comprehensive X-ray selected galaxy sample for the study of the X-ray luminosity to the H? luminosity - a well-calibrated star-formation indicator - relation. ... We find that the X-ray luminosity strongly correlates with the H? luminosity, suggesting that the X-rays efficiently trace the star-formation. | ...

Emission Line Diagnostics in a ``No UV Bump'' Quasar PHL909 Smita Mathur, Belinda Wilkes, Martin Elvis and Jonathan McDowell Abstract PHL909 is a quasar with unusually low ultraviolet luminosity (blue bump strength C UV=IR = \Gamma0:20 compared to an average value of 0:4 (McDowell et al. ... The intrinsic continuum of PHL909 ( i.e. as seen by the BELR ) may thus be similar to the `standard' continuum, with a big blue bump, reddened along the line of sight. ...

Left: An image in the near infrared (1.65 ЮМm) around RY Tauri, using a special mode of the Subaru HiCIAO coronagraph, the polarized intensity image. This type of observation is preferred for faint emissions associated with scattered light around planet-forming disks, as there is less light from the much brighter star. ... A white ellipse shows the position of the midplane of the disk, which is observed at millimeter wavelengths. ... Right: Schematic view of the observed infrared light. ...
