... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

... A universal physical relation for quasars . ... Harvey Tananbaum and his collaborators have first observed a relation between the soft X-ray and the optical/ultraviolet emission in AGN in 1979. Such relation is nonlinear, and it is usually parameterized as dependence between the logarithm of the monochromatic luminosities at 2500 †Е ( L 2500†Е ) and 2 keV ( L 2keV ) . ... Yet, the dispersion along the L 2500†Е тАУ L 2keV relationship is found to be rather high, typically ~0.35тАУ0.4 in log units. ...

We present UV and optical spectropolarimetry of two highly polarized IRAS-selected quasi-stellar objects (QSOs), IRAS 13349+2438 and the broad absorption line QSO (BALQSO) IRAS 14026+4341. ... We construct full radiative transfer models of these systems consisting of a dusty sphere of modest optical depth illuminated axisymmetrically from within by a power-law QSO spectrum. We show that this simple model successfully reproduces the qualitative polarization properties of the objects. ...

USING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ISGRI SURVEY RESULTS AND OTHER CATALOGUES TO AID SOURCE IDENTIFICATION John B. Stephen, A. Malizia and L. Bassani IASF-INAF, Via P. Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, ITALY, E-mail: stephen@iasfbo.inaf.it ABSTRACT In order to help in the identification of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources, we have developed a software package which allows a rapid and detailed cross-correlation to be performed between various source catalogues. ... We show below some preliminary results from this analysis. ...

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. ...

... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

Astronomers were not disappointed, as Centaurus A's appearance in x-rays makes its classification as an active galaxy easy to appreciate. ...

We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ...
