A sample of active galaxies and quasars was observed with a photon-counting detector (IPCS) working in time-resolved imaging mode. The observing and data...
Identifying Missing Quasars from the DESI Bright Galaxy Survey
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) cosmology survey includes a Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS), which will yield spectra for over 10 million bright...
Image sharpening observations of active galactic nuclei
It is shown that recentering, selecting, and adding up sharp short-exposure images obtained with a photon-counting detector working in time-resolved mode can...
Intermediate-resolution spectropolarimetry of 3C 273
Spectropolarimetric observations of the quasar 3C 273 over the range 3200-8000 A show wavelength-dependent polarization in the continuum, while the lines had no...
Intermediate-resolution spectropolarimetry of a small sample of quasars
We present spectropolarimetric observations of a sample of three quasars selected because of their very different broad-band polarization properties. All of the...
La colaboración internacional GATOS se reúne en el IAC para desentrañar los misterios de los núcleos galácticos activos
El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) ha acogido del 20 al 23 de mayo la reunión científica de la colaboración GATOS ( Galaxy Activity, Torus, and...
Los agujeros negros supermasivos modifican la región central de las galaxias
La investigadora del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias Cristina Ramos Almeida lidera un trabajo que ha utilizado datos del telescopio ALMA, en Chile, para...
An optically thick relativistic Keplerian accretion disk model is used to fit the broad component of the H-alpha, H-beta, and He I 5876 A emission line profiles...
Monitoring of active galacitc nuclei. 4: The Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593
Results of a five-month campaign of optical monitoring the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 are presented. High resolution H-alpha and H-Beta spectra and direct images...
