    Time Delay of QSO 0957+561 and Cosmological Implications
    We obtain the time delay between the arrival time of the A and B images of the QSO 0957+561. The results of applying two different methods (the discrete cross...

    Toward a clean sample of ultra-luminous X-ray sources
    Context: .Observational follow-up programmes for the characterization of ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) require the construction of clean samples of such...

    Toward measuring supermassive black hole masses with interferometric observations of the dust continuum
    This work focuses on active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and on the relation between the sizes of the hot dust continuum and the broad-line region (BLR). We find that...

    Towards an automatic classification of distortions as merging indicators in AGN host galaxies
    Does a merging event always precede AGN activity? In this starting PhD project, we will try to address this question by quantifying the distortions and...

    Tracing a high redshift cosmic web with quasar systems
    Context. To understand the formation, evolution, and present-day properties of the cosmic web we need to study it at low and high redshifts. Aims: We trace the...

    Triggering Quasars
    In the 50 years since their discovery, it has become increasingly recognised that quasars are not merely signposts to the distant Universe, but also play a key...

    Two emission line objects with z > 0.2 in the optical filament apparently connecting the Seyfert galaxy NGC 7603 to its companion
    We present new spectroscopic observations of an old case of anomalous redshift - NGC 7603 and its companion. The redshifts of the two galaxies which are...

    Two new confirmed massive relic galaxies: red nuggets in the present-day Universe
    We confirm two new local massive relic galaxies, i.e. untouched survivors of the early Universe massive population: Mrk 1216 and PGC 032873. Both show early and...

    Two-dimensional Spectroscopy Reveals an Arc of Extended Emission in the Gravitational Lens System Q2237+0305
    We present two-dimensional spectroscopy of the gravitational lens system Q2237+0305 (Einstein Cross) obtained with the INTEGRAL fiber system in subarcsecond...
