Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies and the evolution of galaxies and active galaxies [PDF]
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are intriguing due to their continuum as well as emission line properties. The observed peculiar properties of the NLS1s are believed to be due to accretion rate close to Eddington limit. As a consequence, for a given luminosity, NLS1s have smaller black hole (BH) masses compared to normal Seyfert galaxies.

Outflows in the Disks of Active Galaxies [PDF]
Abstract Recent advances in observations have provided a wealth of measurements of the expansions of outflows in galactic disks out to large radii in a variety of galactic hosts. To provide an updated baseline for the interpretation of such data, and to assess to what extent the present status of the modeling is consistent with the ...

Active galaxies and radiative heating [PDF]
There is abundant evidence that heating processes in the central regions of elliptical galaxies have both prevented large–scale cooling flows and assisted in the expulsion of metal rich gas. We now know that each such spheroidal system harbours in its core a massive black hole weighing ca.

Galaxy activity in merging binary galaxy clusters [PDF]
We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data.

Chemical abundances in active galaxies [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has proved to be a powerful resource for understanding the physical properties and chemical composition of star-forming galaxies in the local Universe. The SDSS population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) remains as of yet less explored in this capacity.

Mechanical heating by active galaxies [PDF]
Jets and winds are significant channels for energy loss from accreting black holes. These outflows mechanically heat their surroundings, through shocks as well as gentler forms of heating. We discuss recent efforts to understand the nature and distribution of mechanical heating by central active galactic nuclei (AGN) in clusters of ...

Nuclear spallation in active galaxies [PDF]
A number of works point to the presence of narrow emission features at unusual energies in the X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) or to potentially low iron abundances as possible evidence for the spallation of iron. With the imminence of high-resolution calorimeter spectroscopy, the potential to test spallation models in astrophysical ...
