Academic Editors: Lorenzo Iorio and Elias C. Vagenas Received: 5 May 2015 / Accepted: 14 September 2015 / Published: 1 October 2015 Abstract: An attempt is made to explain time non-dilation allegedly observed in quasar light curves. The explanation is based on the assumption that quasar black holes are, in some sense, foreign for our Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe and do not participate in the Hubble flow. Although at first sight such a weird explanation requires unreasonably fine-tuned Big Bang initial conditions, we find a natural justification for it using the Milne cosmological model as an inspiration.

Received 2014 February 6; in original form 2013 May 31 ABSTRACT We carry out a systematic study of the X-ray emission from the active nuclei of the 0.02 <z< 0.7 2 Jy sample, using Chandra and XMM–Newton observations. We combine our results with those from mid-infrared, optical emission-line and radio observations, and add them to those of the 3CRR sources. We show that the low-excitation objects in our samples show signs of radiatively inefficient accretion. We study the effect of the jet-related emission on the various luminosities, confirming that it is the main source of soft X-ray emission for our sources.

All Ks images show a rich population of clusters, but only a small fraction of them is bright in L.MostL sources have radio counterparts. We derived the luminosity function in Ks for the galaxies IC 4661 and NGC 5408, finding both to be consistent with those of similar galaxies. We also compared the number of clusters and their luminosities with the star-formation rate of the host galaxies and found no compelling evidence of correlation. We conclude that young clusters and embedded clusters are a common feature of blue dwarf galaxies and possibly of galaxies in general, we suggest that their occurrence is due to purely statistical effects rather than a phenomenon related to specific physical conditions. In this sense we expect these objects to be abundant at high red-shift. Key words. galaxies: dwarf – galaxies: starburst – galaxies: star clusters 1.

Skipper Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2013 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND ENGINEERING Physics And Astronomy Doctor of Philosophy FAST SPECTRAL VARIABILITY IN THE X-RAY EMISSION OF ACCRETING BLACK HOLES by Chris J. Skipper The X-ray emission from accreting black holes provides the perfect probe for testing the geometry, behaviour and conditions present in the innermost regions of the accretion flow. In this thesis I use X-ray spectral analysis to investigate the properties of accret- ing black holes that extend over several orders of magnitude in accretion rate (m˙ E) and black hole mass (MBH), from the stellar mass black holes in X-ray binary systems (XRBs) to the supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN).

DOI: 00.0000/X000000000000000X Neutral Hydrogen in Nearby Dwarf Galaxies B¨arbel S. Koribalski CSIRO Astronomy and Space Science, Australia Telescope National Facility PO Box 76, Epping, NSW 1710, Australia email: [email protected] Abstract. Here I briefly highlight our studies of the gas content, kinematics and star formation in nearby dwarf galaxies (D < 10 Mpc) based on the `Local Volume H i Survey' (LVHIS, Koribalski et al. 2018), which was conducted with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The LVHIS sample consists of nearly 100 galaxies, including new discoveries, spanning a large diversity in size, shape, mass and degree of peculiarity. The hydrogen properties of dwarf galaxies in two nearby groups, Sculptor and CenA / M83, are analysed and compared with many rather isolated dwarf galaxies. Around 10% of LVHIS galaxies are transitional or mixed-type dwarf galaxies (dIrr/dSph), the formation of which is explored. | I also provide a brief update on WALLABY Early Science, where we focus on studying the H i properties of galaxies as a function of environment. WALLABY (Dec < +30 degr, z < 0:26) is conducted with the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP), a ∼6-km diameter array of 36 × 12-m dishes, each equipped with wide-field (30 sq degr) Chequerboard Phased Array Feeds. Keywords. galaxies: kinematics and dynamics | galaxies: structure | radio lines: galaxies | surveys 1. LVHIS { The Local Volume H i Survey The LVHIS project provides high-resolution H i spectral line and 20-cm radio contin- uum data products for nearly 100 nearby galaxies, based on over 2500 hours of ATCA observations.
