Observational properties of a general relativistic instability supernova from a primordial supermassive star [PDF]
We present the expected observational properties of a general relativistic instability supernova (GRSN) from the 55,500 M⊙ primordial (Population III) star. Supermassive stars exceeding 104 M⊙ may exist in the early Universe.

Current constraints on deviations from General Relativity using binning in redshift and scale [PDF]
We constrain deviations from general relativity (GR) including both redshift and scale dependencies in the modified gravity (MG) parameters. In particular, we employ the under-used binning approach and compare the results to functional forms.

Quasars at All Cosmic Epochs [PDF]
The last 50 years have seen a tremendous progress in the research on quasars. From a time when quasars were unforeseen oddities, we have come to a view that considers quasars as active galactic nuclei, with nuclear activity a coming-of-age experienced by

General multipoles and their implications for dark matter inference [PDF]
The flux ratios of strongly lensed quasars have previously been used to infer the properties of dark matter. In these analyses it is crucial to separate the effect of the main lensing galaxy and the low-mass dark matter halo population.

THE NEXT GENERATION ATLAS OF QUASAR SPECTRAL ENERGY DISTRIBUTIONS FROM RADIO TO X-RAYS [PDF]
We have produced the next generation of quasar spectral energy distributions (SEDs), essentially updating the work of Elvis et al. (1994) by using high-quality data obtained with several space and ground-based telescopes, including NASA's Great Observatories.

General Physical Properties of Gamma-Ray-emitting Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxies [PDF]
We present the results of a detailed multiwavelength study of a sample of 16 narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLSy1) galaxies known in γ-rays so far. This includes a focused X-ray spectral analysis, to compare them with a more general NLSy1 population, and a ...

Probing the Environment of High-z Quasars Using the Proximity Effect in Projected Quasar Pairs [PDF]
We have used spectra of 181 projected quasar pairs at separations ≤1.5′ from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 12 in the redshift range of 2.5–3.5 to probe the proximity regions of the foreground quasars. We study the proximity effect both in the

Modelling accretion disk winds in quasars
Outflows are ubiquitous in active galactic nuclei (AGN). They can take the form of either dramatic radio jets, which extend vast distances into the inter-galactic medium, or of much smaller scale winds - whose existence can be inferred only indirectly ...
