... 739C As one part of a program to detect complete samples of active extragalactic objects, the 3.36x10^-3 sr field centered on alpha=12h04min, delta=+11deg30' (1950.0) was mapped with the Very Large Array at 1411MHz. Sixty-seven maps cover this field so that no point is more than 15arcmin from the nearest map center. ... The rms map noise is 0.030 + 0.001 mJy, and the resulting source list is complete to a map peak flux density S_p = 0.2 mJy within 25 arcmin of the field center. ...

Is the violent behavior of quasars caused by black holes in galaxies? If so, does the discovery of black holes in the centers of many normal galaxies mean that all galaxies were once quasars? ... If this is the case, then normal galaxies should still have massive black holes in their nuclei, like quasars, but these black holes should now be starved of fuel. ... What we do not yet know is what fraction of all normal galaxies once passed through a quasar phase. ... Scientific American. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...

... 2 April 1999 . The Nobeyama Radioheliograph data show that in the microwave range, besides large-scale trans-equatorial chains (see, e.g., the May 11-15, 1993 and November 1-4, 1993 events), there are also many examples displaying large and strongly evolving "longitudinal" or "internal" chains connecting remote active regions inside an active zone in one (northern or southern) hemisphere (the August 20-September 3, 1998 event). ...

In a recent study of z 0.1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs), we found that 21 cm absorption has never been detected in objects in which the ultraviolet luminosity exceeds L UV ~ 10 23 W/Hz. ... The fact that at L UV 10 23 W/Hz, both type-1 and type-2 objects exhibit a 50% probability of detection, suggests that this is not the case and that the bias against detection of H I absorption in type-1 objects is due purely to the inclusion of the L UV 10 23 W/Hz sources. ...
