On the Origin of the IR Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei
The relation between the X-ray, coronal line and IR emission in a sample of the brightest known Seyfert galaxies is analyzed. A close relationship between the...
On the outbursts and primitive nature of comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1
Comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 (hereafter SW1) is a primitive Centaur that exhibits continuous changes in its coma appearance and brightness [1]. Our team has...
On The Parent Population of Radio Galaxies and the FR I--II Dichotomy
The possibility of radio galaxies being random sample of otherwise normal elliptical galaxies is tested. Starting with the observed optical luminosity functions...
On the Physical Conditions in AGN Optical Synchrotron Jets
We discuss the energy budget of AGN jets, based on available data for all 14 having detected optical synchrotron emission. Assuming equipartition between...
The chromospheric temperature rise to values above the photospheric temperature cannot be due to radiative energy transport alone. We will outline different...
