We are investigating how this interaction effects galaxy evolution in general as well as the feedback effect of the radio source on its host galaxy and AGN. ... One direct observational manifestation of this interaction is the existence of extended regions of emission-line gas which show a clear spatial relationship to the radio source itself. ...

We present 3-160 ЮМm photometry obtained with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) and Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) instruments for the first five targets from the Spitzer Space Telescope Legacy Science Program ``Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems'' and 4-35 ЮМm spectrophotometry obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) for two sources. ...

... 1Haynes+ A catalogue at 5 GHz of 915 sources in the Galactic plane is presented. Sources with a peak beam brightness temperature of at least 0.2 K above the surrounding background are included, except in confused regions; a point source of 0.2 K corresconds to 0.26 Jy. ... It was assumed that Hydra A was a point source with a peak flux density of 13 Jy at 5 GHz; this is equivalent to a mean beam brightness temperature of 10.0 K for a beamwidth of 4.1x4.4'. ...

... More recently, I have been concerned with observing masers located in the circumstellar shells generated by red giant stars in their mass-loss phase, and in what we can therefore learn about the late stages of stellar evolution. 100 mJy are now undetectable after ~12 years, aka the DEATH of an OH/IR star or its cyclical evolution back to a Mira variable. ... I find that this momentum flux is sufficient to support the largest observed rates of AGB mass-loss. last updated: 14 January 2015 . ...
