Descripción
We have carried out broad band photometry of the interacting galaxy system NGC 6090 from 3.6 to 200μm using ISOPHOT. This is complemented by a low resolution spectrum in the wavelength range 2.5-11.5μm. The IR spectral energy distribution of a starburst galaxy is shown with unprecedented detail. From our Far Infrared measurements we can demonstrate that the starburst component is the dominating energy source in this object. 84% of the total IR output is in the wavelength range below 120μm, while 16% is in the 120 to 240μm range. Emission in the PAH bands is an essential radiation mechanism in the wavelength range shortward of 10μm for this object. We discuss various published starburst models and their applicability to NGC 6090.

Cosmological information can be considered to be contained in the connection between halo main properties and the large-scale halo bias, while the astrophysical information would be encoded in the scaling relations between halo properties.

    Dramatic Drop in the X-Ray Polarization of Swift J1727.8–1613 in the Soft Spectral State
    Black hole X-ray binaries exhibit different spectral and timing properties in different accretion states. The X-ray outburst of a recently discovered and extraordinarily bright source, Swift J1727.8–1613, has enabled the first investigation of how the X-ray polarization properties of a source evolve with spectral state. The 2–8 keV polarization

    Overmassive Black Holes at Cosmic Noon: Linking the Local and the High-redshift Universe
    We report for the first time a sample of 12 supermassive black holes (SMBHs) hosted by low-mass galaxies at cosmic noon, i.e., in a redshift range consistent with the peak of star formation history: z ∼ 1–3. These black holes are 2 orders of magnitude too massive for the stellar content of their hosts when compared with the local relation for
