Description
We propose a systematic study of the environments of a representative sample of Radio Loud Quasars (RLQ) and Radio Quiet Quasars (RQQ) in two different redshift ranges: z˜3.1 and z˜4. These redshift ranges are optimal for the study of environment evolution in the early universe. Furthermore, the sample of RLQ and RQQ are designed to disentangle the role of galactic interactions in the radio emission phenomenon, and thus, to test the unified model for AGN. Using the GRANTECAN-OSIRIS tunable filters (TF) we expect to build up a distribution function for the emission line galaxies around each quasar. We assume that emission and non-emission line galaxies have similar distributions. This assumption along with photometric redshifts observations will allow us to discriminate between galaxies associated with quasars and field galaxies.

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
